Changes to the Events Calendar
Due to the massive quantity of snow at the PITS Property, we have had to make some additional changes to the Events Calendar. Note that the Kraut Cup, previously scheduled for June 10 - 11 has been MOVED to August 5 - 6. The Strawberry Trial has also been moved. We'll see you there on July 22 - 23. Visit the Events page for all upcoming PITS events.

In Memory of Longtime PITS Member Jim Winter

It is with sadness that we announce that longtime PITS member and friend to many, Jim Winter, passed away on April 21, 2023.

 

Below is the announcement from his friend Bob Mark:

​

Jim Winter completed his last event on Friday, April 21st. He completed an incredible ride, his feet having never left the pegs and smooth forward motion his entire run.

 

Celebrating his transition are his wife of 62 years, his daughter and 2 grandchildren, and one beautiful great grand daughter. He will be ensconced in a memorial in the High Country, created from his collection of 2000 lbs of vintage 70's and 80's Honda cranks, pistons, and engine casings.

 

No memorial service is planned, but I'm sure he'd appreciate any support you might give to a novice rider, as he did for so many of us.

REMINDER for those in the hunt for an Overall Award (e.g. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd), you need to have 10 Worker Points (WPs) to qualify.  

The results this year have your WPs in the far right column for each Series along with a breakout in the Worker Point Standings.  Also, in the past there has been an event after the last event of the year (i.e. Spooky Trial) where some members who were short could attend and get additional WPs.  Don't count on that event to happen.  If it is not on the schedule or you haven't received any email blast about it, then don't assume you will be able to get your remaining WPs for either an award or the next discount level card for 2023.
