NYOA Updates

 We have a few "housekeeping" type notes to share and wanted to do that this week.

1. PARKING: We have seen an improvement with this, but there are still reports of people being "parked in" or of people parking behind toy haulers not giving them room to open the gate and get their machines. PLEASE PLEASE be courteous when parking. Have a conversation with the people to make sure they can get out or get what they need. There are ways to work together so please help by being considerate and communicating.

2. SMOKING/VAPING: This is not a subject we want to get too far into. We have had some complaints about the uptick in marijuana use at events. See the rules about being "under the influence" if you have questions about that specifically. The main concern being expressed is that there are families with younger children that are being exposed to second hand smoke including marijuana. We respect your rights. Please respect your fellow campers and racers while they are racing and be considerate with where you're smoking in relation to them. 

3. DOGS: Again, we respect your animals and love seeing them. Dogs are not to be in the start area or at registration. This has been a rule for a long time, but we are seeing dogs where they should not be. This is for their safety as well as the safety of others. It goes without saying, but a quick reminder, if you bring pets, you need to clean up after them. 

4. SURVEYS: We are posting a link on the NYOA Socials and the website after each round this year to gather timely feedback to pass on to the promoters and the board. We are seeing maybe 8-10% participation in these surveys. They are quick and simple to fill out. Please consider taking a few minutes after each event to share your thoughts. Riders, spectators and workers are all encouraged to take the surveys. 

  5. Make sure if you are registering at the track to have all your documents.  Especially your AMA number and expiration date. Cell service at some tracks is very limited.  It will make it easier on the registration crew.  Have patience as we are training new staff. 

We have had a great start to the 2023 season! Thank you all for continuing to come out and race with NYOA! We will be back soon to open up registration for ROUND 5, DITCH BANGER!
