MRA Celebrates Champions Present and Past at Awards Ceremony 2011 was an exciting year for the MRA and the annual awards ceremony traditionally marks the celebration of class champions and the building of excitement for the coming season. This year the MRA held its awards ceremony on February 4th at Casselman’s Bar & Venue in downtown Denver, Colorado. Racers, both present and past, were honored at this year’s event, which marked the final passing of the Eugene Bazyl Memorial Award back to his parents Anatoly and Tamara. Anatoly graced the audience with a moving remembrance of his son’s discovery of motorcycle racing as a video of Eugene played in the background. Class champions were honored for their performance throughout the 2011 season and the evening ended with an announcement from MRA 2011 #1 plate holder, Shane Turpin, that he has earned a wild card position at the 2012 round of World Superbike held at Miller Motorsports Park. Championship awards were given away for a championship series, 26 classes of racing, and a clubman championship in addition to 5 special awards that mark unique achievement in the club.
