New USARM Trailer The new 16 ft. USARM trailer will be housed at Laguna Seca and the USARM logo will be placed on both sides of this finished trailer.

 

For those of our members who travel and camp at Laguna Seca for USARM events, two (2) designated camping areas have been established with Monterey County Parks Dept & Laguna Seca.

If you plan to work a USARM event in the future, you may use one of these camping areas free of charge. The 2 campsite numbers are 107 and 108. For the winter months, USARM camping can be arranged behind the turn 11 grandstands, as the Park campground area is closed

It is on a first come first serve basis but if there are more than 2 USARM members who are camping, arrangements can be made to ensure camping for the events that you are working.

Please contact the person in charge of the USARM event to make sure you have your camping spot.

 

Ted Kuwada & Jan Weaver will head the MotoGp 2006 committee

They will be forming their committee very soon and welcome the input of the USARM membership. To contact either Ted or Jan:

Ted Kuwada     Jan Weaver

It is the hope that all USARM members will support this fantastic event coming in July, 2006!
