Saw recently for 2024 the FIM has done away with the no-stop rule (to also include backing up)
Wonder how long b4 the NATC will follow with backing up too?

Highway 60 both directions into Wauzeka has road closed and detour signs everywhere.
I would suggest to get on Highway 27 and go to County road "N". Then head east/southeast on "N" to 30708 Burgus Lane.

It would be good to update the list to the current year.

Following is a complete list of WOTA's Presidents from its beginning in 1978 thru 2000.
It was created by Jim Altemus and Mark Doll back in 2000 and could have an error, as some names were from memory at the time.

These individuals are just some of those who have been so important towards the founding of WOTA, and then keeping the club intact through its earliest years.

Thats old. Even I hadn't started riding motorcycles yet. Mick Andrews?

Agreed. You don't see that style of riding anymore, at that level.
I was there, and although out of my league with 200+ points, I enjoyed every minute.

Thx for the video.

thumbs up to the monty bike launch! it would be soo cool. But where are the old bulls, ty250's, swm's or combat wombats?
I would resurrect the freestyle, jesse or brad might show and give your kids a rough time. I've also seen a whole new generation of talent at your last event.

(by the way northern, Look very hard for the brake pads... their there. Hold on to the seals, maybe I can return em)

With the monster bluffs you've got, I hope you keep the bike launch. How about a "butt buster" section for Saturday evening, which is a very-very long section, but not necessarily difficult. You could put a time limit on it to help get dabs.
I believe your right about the AMA insurance not covering the special events. Remember the timed tiebreaker at Cash Creek years ago...Yikes!
Wildly popular, but didn't realize the danger potential until seeing the speed that trials bikes can be capable of.

Saw the grounds last year. It's an amazing 20 acres.
It will be tough to get my butt out of bed to be there by 10, but no way will I miss another chance to compete there.
Rain or shine!

norms humor always keeps me laughing too.
and my helmet is off to Noel for winning the 50+ natc title this year.

March 21 is good for me. Mark D. said he can make it any day.
1pm?

How about a meeting on Feb. 14 or 15. (Although valentines is the 14th)
My 2nd choice would be March 21 or 22.
I think wota could buy a lunch for those attending.
Madison is ok for me.
Trophies in bulk is a good idea. Maybe something other than the standard standup type.
Just one idea - custom medals, mugs or ? could be made for a reasonable cost along with a gift certificate?

The 26th is good for me. Give me even more practice time! Is Wild bills mystery chile surprise on the menu?

25th is good for me. Gives me more practice time!
I probably can make the sanction meeting too.

In case no one has already given approval...then yes, which comes from our president, Mark Doll.
Since wota was born, Noel has been either a member, president, wota champion or runnerup, and discovered the legendary "Smage Flameout"

Jim Altemus
Treasurer of wota, and the guy that beat Noel once.
