MRA 2024 Season Schedule Update Announcement
Byers, CO – The Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA) acknowledges that 2024 has been a challenging year, not just for our members, but for motorcycle racing organizations nationwide. A significant decline in race round signups has led to the unfortunate cancellation of Round Three, signaling a broader issue within the sport.
In light of the current economic climate, it has become evident that committing to a full season poses challenges for many racers. The MRA Board has thoroughly reviewed the situation and considered what steps are necessary to best serve our community through the remainder of the season.
To address these challenges, we have decided to take proactive measures. After careful consideration, we are revising the remaining schedule for the 2024 season. These adjustments will provide our racers, suppliers, vendors, tracks, and other stakeholders with the certainty needed to effectively plan their activities, eliminating the uncertainty surrounding potential cancellations as race dates approach.
The MRA is committed to enhancing the racing experience for everyone involved and ensuring the stability of our events in these unpredictable times. We appreciate the continued support and understanding of our community as we navigate these changes together.
To that end, the MRA Board of Directors has voted to make the following changes to the remainder of the 2024 season schedule:
Round 6 – August 10-11, High Plains Raceway (Full Course):
The 2-hour endurance race is cancelled, but we will run the typical weekend schedule instead (including the popular 2X Sprints on Saturday afternoon).
Round 7 – August 31- September 1, High Plains Raceway (North Course):
Cancelled
Round 8 – September 28-29 High Plains Raceway (Full Course):
Will remain as scheduled, and will become the double-points event that was originally planned for Round 7.
We are taking the lessons learned from the 2024 schedule and the reality of the current economic climate to ensure a successful 2025 Season. It is our hope that these changes will assist in attracting more signups for the remaining rounds on the schedule this season.
