  NW Raptor Rally 2010 May 13,14,15,and 16th Winchester Bay Oregon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the NW Raptor Rally AT Winchester Bay Oregon May 13th 14th 15th and 16th.

I just want to say that I am happy to help out with the raptor rally but it is not a registered event and that everyone will be responsible for there own safety and camp site. There is a link to the half-moon camp site rules that everyone should read and all Federal, State, County, and city laws on and off the dunes will apply. This includes a REQUIRED OREGON SAFETY CARD that can take over 30 days to recive after completing the test. Please see more information at http://www.rideatvoregon.org/

Dinner Will be at 6:30PM Saturday the 15th right after the Group photo at 5:30PM(might set a world record if application is given the OK)
The photo will be at the very north end of the dune's Just look for my blue raptor and lots of other raptors also there will be information post at group site D

Seminar Friday from 6PM to 7PM at Group site D. Several shops will help explain and answer any questions on Fuel Map, Power Commanders, Pipes, TPS sensor and how to set them, Pistons, cams, valves, valve springs, cranks, chassis set up, etc.... anything that has to do with racing a bike. Great time to learn what you can do to make your ride better from people that have been there and done that. Turbos, Big boar, PC 5, 54mm TB this is the time for Q and A.


List of rally rides
Fun Ride at 10AM Friday and Sunday.

ATV Enthusiast and Douglas County Parks Supporter:





Douglas County is seeking your support in our application for operation and maintenance funding from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's ATV Grant Program.



As you may be aware, Douglas County is going through difficult financial times due to budget funding reductions. These reductions are expected to become more severe in the next couple of years. In order to provide the ATV facilities and recreation services you have come to enjoy in the Winchester Bay ATV recreation area we desperately need the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to fund our operations and maintenance grant request. Your letter of support is vital to helping us secure these funds.



I have attached a copy of a draft letter you may use directly or as an inspiration for a letter of your own. Please respond back on your associations, business, or personal letterhead, if available. Feel free to mail it direct to our address listed below; send a signed fax copy, or a scanned PDF letter. I am requesting that you respond back to us no later than Monday, November 16, 2009.



Your assistance will help to insure that ATV related activities in Winchester Bay will continue to be one of the finest ATV recreation experiences you have come to expect on the Oregon Coast.



The Douglas County Park Division thanks you for your support.

SAMPLE LETTER with send to address:

ATV Advisory Grant Committee
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department
725 Summer Street NE, Suite C
Salem OR 97301-1271

Dear Committee Members:

The Douglas County Park Division provides ATV recreational opportunities to ATV enthusiasts in the Winchester Bay area of the National Dunes Recreation Area. The County parks division operates and maintains campgrounds, access trails, staging facilities, restrooms, and other amenities critical to the ATV user. Their management of the area is essential to insure a viable place to ride, camp, stage, and refresh in a location that is directly adjacent to the dunes. Because of the County's improvements to the area, family ATV recreation has blossomed. They have provided a safe and secure area in which to camp and recreate.

The County facilities not only provide recreational opportunities to the local ATV enthusiast, they have become an ATV tourist destination resulting in an important part of the economic viability of the area. Many ATV users visit local markets, restaurants, service stations, stores and other tourist oriented businesses bringing much needed revenues to these businesses.

I strongly support Douglas County's operation and maintenance grant request and encourage the ATV Advisory Grant Committee to fund their worthy request.

[Gunz]
