About this event
NorthWest Mini Moto presents Round 2 of our 2023 season at MAC Track in McMinnville, OR on June 3-4. This will be a two-day event, with open practice on Saturday morning, sprint races Saturday afternoon, and a 6-hour endurance race on Sunday.
For more information and detailed day-of schedules, see https://www.northwestminimoto.com/sign-up.
IMPORTANT: If we do not have at least 15 riders signed up for the Sunday sprints by June 1, the sprint races will be converted to an all-bike practice. Sprint race entry fees will be refunded back to practice fee rates if this is necessary. Practice rules and requirements are posted at https://www.northwestminimoto.com/rules#h.ev25m741r5ho
NO SHOWERS AT MAC TRACK: I've just been informed that the shower facilites at MAC Track will not be available to us this year. If you are planning to camp and don't have an RV, you will need to bring a solar shower or travel off-site for your post-race cleanup. I'm very sorry for the late notice, and will look into rental options for the next event in August.

Event requirements
See our website at https://www.northwestminimoto.com for details on what classes are available and bike/rider preparation requirements. For the full race day schedule, see https://www.northwestminimoto.com/sign-up/race-day-schedule
Remember, transponders are required for all races this year. Transponder rentals are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
For the endurance race, if you are signing up as an individual rider (not team captain), the team that you will be riding with must be registered first. If you are registering the team (as team captain), your rider entry fee is included in the team entry fee cost.
Junior riders will need to register at the track on the day of the event due to the way MSR handles registrants. If you are the adult parent of a junior rider, either sign up in their name (if you aren't riding) or select the "Junior" class on your registration so we know that you are bringing a junior rider with you.
