Good luck with your meet. It sounds like fun. If nothing else it gives the Nannies something to grump about.

Thank you very much, Rich.

I'm on the lake bed on off weekends often, there is always some sort of race, filming, flying etc going on and I'm sure there are people getting hurt at these events? As long as it is NOT an SCTA event I dont see how they could hold us liable or make an impact on our racing? I have a couple friend that are gonna race at this scooter thing and Ill more than likely be out there watching just for kicks! If one of the little flying contraptions goes down its not the SCTA fault, is it? Nor if a scooter goes down.

Faded,

We are not affiliated with STCA, AMA/BUB, or the FIM in any way. We are heavily insured through a major race event insurance company per BLM's requirements. There is no direct, proximate or residual liability as regards the aforementioned organizations stemming from our event. El Mirage is public land, not the private reserve of any race sanctioning body.

ya might want to check with the BLM and your insurance carrier about your proximity statement... i know for a fact at the June event our ambulance was called to a heat stroke to a spectator and we had to do an accident report on it and i think it was the May meet a orv rider/spectator crashed and used our ambulance services again another report.... and people dont understand and bitch why the "out of bounds" ruling and punishments are so strict.... these 2 incidents were not even within the race boundry

Kent,

Thanx for the advice and the invite. Probably can't make it this evening, but I'd certainly like to attend a meeting in the very near future.

The insurance carrier has given us considerable latitude re ambulance placement, but the BLM required us to be very specific in the Operational Plan addenda. We had to delineate with a detailed drawing where the portable toilets, dumpsters and fueling area will be.

When I first started this I didn't realize the enormity of putting on such an event. I certainly didn't anticipate the response we've gotten! This thing has taken on a life of its own. We have confirmed entries from San Antonio, TX, Memphis, TN, and San Francisco. We have a pre-entry from New Zealand! I thought we'd have fifteen or twenty scooters max, and that we'd go bonkers with the trophies, racing licenses, speed tickets, and what-not. The response has been much greater.

My law partners and I have pumped a lot of time and dough in to this event! We trying to do everything first-class. We're comping the racing licenses for this first event. We're running at an open venue so we can't (and wouldn't) charge admission. We're not requiring MSILSF membership. This whole event is a gigantic financial cluster-F. But there are a lot of guys (me included) with well-prepared high-performance scooters of various displacement who want to come out and play, and this is the only way they can do it. We're anxious to see what happens so we'll know whether to do it again in 2011 in a closed venue where we can charge nominal admission, sell memberships and racing licenses, get a pull off concessions, and attempt to recoup the dough we've spent on this event.

Alan
