Results from the Aug 3-4 Haggis Basher Two-Day event are now up, with updated standings for the year in all classes. Podium photos for both days are now labeled with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers. Thanks to Steve Kirschner and Brenda Peterson for their speed and competency in compiling the results and standings-to-date. Lots of new photos up on the web site from last weekend’s Haggis Basher 2-day Trial – and the Bob Piper Memorial ceremony. Podium shots are up, too, but aren’t labeled yet. I’ll get that done when I get sent the event results and updated standings. Kudos to: Mike Hendrickson for his work as Trialsmaster… the second two-day trial in a month that he’s taken on; Al Gohlike for creating the bronze plaque for the Piper Memorial; Tim Hunt for coordinating the whole Memorial plaque effort and for emceeing the ceremony for the Piper family ; and Stuart, Wendy, and David McLuckie for hosting the 9th Haggis. (And by all accounts, it was the best tasting Haggis ever.) If anyone has more photos from the weekend, send them to me and I’ll scan and post them. We’re inviting (via an automated email) all the UMTA members on the UMTA discussion list to join a new discussion list for all things World Round USA-related. It’s hosted via Topica (similar to Yahoo Groups but with less annoying ads). We’ll be doing the same for those on the WIMN Trials discussion group, as well as posting an invitation to the nationwide MC-Trials list. Anyone else, on any continent, is welcome to join as well. Our initial discussions will focus on the financials (yep, that’s a link to a spreadsheet with all the income and outgo details.) You’ve probably heard the rumor already, but we’re about $25,000 in the hole from the Duluth World Round. We need a plan to erase this debt… and soon. So please join the list and join the discussion. Current standings/latest results are now posted on the Results page. The Tryals Shop has the NATC Championship results to date. Beware, tho… it’s a bit of a slow download. Note that WOTA/UMTA’s Bad Brad Villand is in second place in the Expert class. There’s a link to a map and info for this coming weekend’s Hixton 2 day on the WOTA web site. Saturday is Vintage; Sunday a UMTA/WOTA points event. Bruce Rhyti called with the details for the memorial service for Dave: Friday, July 12, 2 pm 755 73rd Ave NE, Fridley Any questions, call Bruce at his parents’ house: 763-544-1321. I plan to be there. I’ll contact Tim Hunt to see if the club can send some flowers. The results from the June 29 and 30 two-day in Faribault are now included in the updated Results. Thanks to Brenda Peterson and Steve Kirschner. Podium photo galleries for both days are up as well, linked from the Photos page. If anyone has other photos of the event that they’d like me to consider putting up on the site, email me. Former UMTA member Dave Ryhti was killed in a glider plane accident last Monday in the Tetons. Dave and his brother Bruce were active UMTA club members for most of the 70s. The St. Paul Pioneer Press article has a little more detail than the Strib. I phoned Dave’s house in New Brighton this morning and talked to Bruce who’d flown in from San Jose. He said Dave’s body was being cremated in Jackson Hole before being shipped back here. He didn’t have details yet on when a memorial service would be held but said he’d phone me back as soon as he found out. I’ll post the details here. Jack Chermak has written a nifty “What is Trials?” piece for newcomers to the sport that I’ve now posted on the site. Thanks, Jack! |
