Boreal Trial Venue Changed to PITS Property

7/15/19

The Boreal Trial, scheduled for August 17 – 18, 2019, will be held at the PITS Property, NOT at the Boreal Ski Resort.

Unfortunately Boreal is doing maintenance work, and couldn’t schedule our event on their property this year.

Join us for this fun event (known this year as “Boreal West”) but make sure you come to PITS for it!

Carnegie SVRA under threat! Send a message to your elected officials through the AMA’s website here!

Senate Bill 767 is now on the Senate floor. It has passed out of the final Senate committee and is now eligible for a vote.

The bill encourages the sale of the Carnegie expansion property, known as the Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area, which was purchased using funds from the Off Highway Vehicle Trust Fund, with agreement as to the future purpose of the land (expanding Carnegie SVRA) signed by adjacent landowners.

SB 767 seeks to deny the OHV community a long overdue opportunity for increased motorized recreational opportunities. It also sets a dangerous precedent by emboldening local landowners who object to the location of any state park, preserve or beach to push legislation to privatize that specific location.

OHV recreationists must immediately contact their elected officials and remind them of the agreement that was made when the expansion properties were acquired. It is also important to remind them that the program uses no General Fund monies and is, in fact, based on a user-pay, user-benefit style model. Monies used to pay for the program include those taxes collected on fuel, SVRA entrance fees and vehicle registrations (green and red stickers).

The OHV community has long paid its own way and will continue to do so, as long as these monies are used for their intended purpose.

We’re Sad to Announce the Passing of Longtime PITS Member Eugene “Gene” Mendonca

Gene was a beloved friend and member of PITS for many, many years. He was a really great guy who was always ready to help. In fact, he was the “go-to” checker for 25+ years! Gene rode the vintage class at many events. He will be greatly missed.

Eugene “Gene” Mendonca was born May 30, 1941, to Melvin and Isabelle (Teceira) Mendonca. He passed away March 21, 2019, in Folsom , CA where he spent his childhood and was a 1959 graduate of Folsom High School.

Gene served 2 years in the U.S. Army and shortly after completing his service, he went to work for the CA Department of Transportation.

After spending 32 years maintaining the roads on Donner Summit, he retired and returned to the family home in Folsom.

Gene had many interests – specifically his love of motorcycles and riding trials events, model railroading and trains, creating artwork with pastels, and traveling. If you ever needed a “route” planned out for a trip through the Western or Southwestern states, Gene was the guy to go to! He could direct you to some of the most interesting, out-of-the-way sites and he knew every nondescript road there was.

He was loved by many and will be greatly missed by his wife Lois, his many cousins, and lifelong friends. As requested by Gene, there will be no memorial service.
