TVR 2020 The TVR board has voted to attempt to run a few events this fall. Due to tighter regulations in some regions our venue options have been reduced to Gopher Dunes and Walton Raceway although it is possible options may open up in the future . Many things will need to be considered to run events this fall. To follow the regulations laid out by our government's health guidelines, many things will change or be different than the typical TVR event. A few are, we will be doing online event signup exclusively(there will be no sign up at the trailer), masks will need to be worn anytime a 6’ social distance cannot be maintained, each rider will be limited to one vehicle per pit with up to 4 support persons(family,etc), the track staff will park you where they see fit, we will ask that you only leave your pit for your motos or to use the washrooms. TVR requires a minimum number of riders in order to financially ‘break even’ on an event. Currently the 2020 TVR membership is far too low in numbers to carry an event. We will require many more TVR memberships to be purchased to get us to a level necessary to get enough race entries to 'pull off' an event. Due to the limited number of events TVR could possibly hold this fall we will not be having a banquet this year. With that, a TVR membership purchased for 2020 will be effective for the 2021 TVR season also. To move forward we need to know if you, TVR members, are interested in supporting this idea of running events this year. Answer the attached survey question. Dear TVR Members Your board met to review the existing state of motocross racing in this ongoing pandemic. There are many viewpoints and comments to consider. Thank you to everyone that has reached out to the board with your concerns, comments and productive feedback. We are in continuous contact with the motocross/racing community and following the different government restrictions and allowances. The board landed on the decision to wait until after the Walton Transcan Grand National Event August 12-15, 2020 to establish a proposed race schedule. We have listened to everyone that has reached out and we need to ensure our decision represent TVR’s core values. The removal of the social atmosphere and family friendly environment required by pandemic protocol would compromise an essential core value of TVR's. Thank you, and please continue to reach out to your members of the board, TVR Board May 24th TVR Race at Gopher Dunes and May 31st TVR Race at Swiona are Cancelled. April 19th race at Gopher Dunes is Cancelled! The TVR board is meeting and reviewing the race schedules. TVR must follow the municipal and provincial directives for recreational events. We can confirm that the series will not start until at least May 2020. We are in contact with track owners to ensure we can schedule races as soon as practically possible, please understand there will be scheduling changes. Our sport is one that can negatively impact the medical system and we need to ensure that we can start the season safety and with everyone’s best interests. We are reviewing the schedules and working with track owners to identify the soonest possibly to start the 2020 race season. Until we know more information from the government agencies we must follow their directives. Sign-up Days Cancelled. Due to the contagious virus situation (COVID-19) and to promote social distancing TVR is cancelling pre season sign-up days. We will review the situation before our first race (April 19th).
