Long Beach, California – The I.M.R.R.F. today announced the launch of the International Mini Road Racing Federation website, which is comprised of some of the most active and established mini motorcycle road racing clubs from around the world from Canada, Bermuda and the United States. We are seeking established clubs from Asia, Europe and other parts of the world with a passion and desire to grow the sport that meet some basic criteria (see details below).
Mini bike racing organizations in some large countries like the United States are often faced with the challenge of distance unlike many of European and Asian clubs, making it difficult to have a national series and for the sport to grow in popularity. There are many factors why mini bike awareness isn’t what it is in other parts of the world even with the help of the internet forums and Facebook groups: Information has still been greatly fragmented, regional and difficult to find useful information in an organized way.
The I.M.R.R.F site is an important step of the federation to help remedy this. The main goal of the site is for clubs to share valuable resources, technical information, have more convenient and robust marketplaces and be a valuable hub for those interested in the sport
The I.M.R.R.F hopes to make a positive impact in the sport of motorcycle racing at the important and often overlooked, grassroots level of motorcycle riding – mini racing, and to help clubs who have been supporting the sport and riders and doing things the right way; to have a bigger, more powerful voice.
