November Update

Hello all,

I wanted to give everyone an update as we’re going in to the Holiday Season.  We’re working on finalizing the 2024 STRA season schedule and will have that published in December.  We do have the schedule for the 2024 NATC Season.  It is as follows:

              April 13-14                                                     Kingman, AZ

              June 22-23                                                     Sequatchie, TN

              Late July/Early August                                 TBD, California

              October, 26-27                                              Promise Ranch, FL

For those attending the Toy Trial at TTC on Dec 2, we will have a short information meeting for the national planning, followed by some riding on Dec 3rd.  We will follow this up with an on-line TEAMs meeting in January for interested parties.

Spring Update

After too much procrastination, I have updated the results section of the website to include results from Fun In the Sun, along with the championship standings through round 2.

Our next event in this non-typical spring season will be at Hickory Hills in Lenoir City, TN on June 25-26.   This is the weekend before Family Camp at TTC, so if you have trials friends coming to family camp from other areas, let them know about our event so they can come ride with us.

I know that Papa Joe is excited to be back on the schedule for 2022.  Look for sign up information for this event in early June.

Happy Holidays!

Wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  I hope everyone is able to spend time with family and friends over the next couple of weeks.  If you’re able to get a little riding in too, all the better!

I have incorporated rule changes approved by the membership at the business meeting and posted to rules for 2022 to the Riding Rules section of the website.

After the toy trial at TTC we spent some time the following day to scout some section locations for the national.  We’ve identified some good section areas that haven’t been used in a while (if ever).  We will have a work weekend on January 15-16 (and 17 if that is a holiday for you) to start the work of clearing out sections.  A couple of us will be bringing chainsaws and limb loppers.  Come on out and pitch in!

At least four sets of eyes have reviewed them so we believe everything is correct.  However it is remotely conceivable there might be some discrepancies between what you think happened, what actually happened and what we recorded happening.   This was not out of malice towards you, most likely a simple mistake, so please approach us with an appropriate attitude and we will do our best to uncover what actually happened.  The competition director can be contacted here:    Dawn Shirley 423-593-1134     CompetitionDirector@stratrials.com
