American Sand Association
ACTION ALERT :  OHV Funds Under Attack!

OHV Funds are Under Attack!

Dear ASA Member;

 

There is currently a proposal that will be heard this Wednesday (5/23) in a CA Budget Subcommittee to take California Off Highway Vehicle funds and divert them to fund CA State Parks. The total amount being considered, in addition to the $20 million yearly amount already being taken, is an additional $21 million.  

  

The take of additional OHV funding will have a tremendous impact on CA OHV recreation and will result in a loss of ridership in grant areas and, in a short time, a disintegration of the SVRA system because we will not have enough money to handle the growing need.  

  

It is preposterous to take more money out of a self-sufficient fund at the expense of recreation and not address the problems that got state parks into trouble in the first place.  

  

Immediate action must be taken to save our funds!  

 

Please include some of the following language in your correspondence:

 

  • It is wrong to ruin a system that works (OHV) and turn control of the grant money over to Parks for discretionary purposes.  
  • Please don’t raid the State’s Off-Highway Vehicle Parks Fund to bail out State Parks.  
  • We have handled our resources responsibly.  
  • The reason OHV works so well is that those grants go to specific law enforcement, environmental, educational and riding opportunities.  
  • 40 years ago people realized that those within the Parks system didn’t appreciate off-highway vehicle recreation.  Consequently, OHV was given some autonomy within Parks, and an OHV Division was created. 
  • Because $10 million annually is already being taken from the fund, this year OHV projects in CA are already seeing a budget shortfall of which we cannot overcome.  

Here is a list of people to send your message to:  

 

Senate President Pro-Tem (Leader of the Senate):

Senator Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento): senator.steinberg@senate.ca.gov 

fax: 916-323-2263 / office: 916-651-4006   

 

Senate Budget Sub-Committee #2:

Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), Sub Committee Chair: senator.simitian@sen.ca.gov 

fax: 916-323-4529 / office: 916-651-4011   

 

Senator  Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield): senator.fuller@sen.ca.gov 

fax: 916-322-3304 / office: 916-651-4018  

Note: Senator Fuller has already signified she is opposed to raiding OHV funds. A note of appreciation for her support is recommended. 

 

Senator Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach): senator.lowenthal@sen.ca.gov 

fax: 916-327-9113 / office: 916-651-4027

Note: Senator Lowenthal is the key swing vote. 

 

Key members of the full Budget Committee:

fax: 916-445-4722 / office: 916-651-4003

 

Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) Budget Committee Vice-Chair: senator.huff@sen.ca.gov 

fax: 916-324-0922 / office: 916-651-4029

Note: Senator Huff is pro OHV. 

 

Senator Bill Emmerson (R-Riverside) Budget Committee Vice-Chair: senator.emmerson@sen.ca.gov 

fax: 916-327-2187 / office: 916-651-4037

 

If you decide to make the trip to Sacramento to lobby on behalf of this issue, the hearing will be held on May 23rd at the Senate Budget Sub Committee #2 for Resources. A strong OHV presence is really important.  The ASA will have representation at this meeting.  

 

CA State Senate Budget & Fiscal Review Subcommittee #2 on Resources

11:00 a.m. – Capitol Hearing Room 2040

Help Keep Essential Dune Services

 

The public review and comment period for the California Department of Parks and Recreation Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation 2011/2012 Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program is currently underway and will end Monday, April 2, 2012. This provides an opportunity for the public to review and provide comments to the preliminary applications submitted to the OHMVR Division for consideration during the 2011/2012 grant cycle. Public comments should be submitted to both the applicant and the OHMVR Division by emailing the contact person listed on the preliminary application and copying the OHMVR Division at ohvinfo@parks.ca.gov.

 

The Division’s On-Line Grants Application (OLGA) database allows the public to view preliminary applications in a centralized location. Please download the instructions on accessing the preliminary applications.

  

Please note that the deadline to submit your comments is April 2, 2012.

In addition to the permit fees you pay to recreate in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA), local agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management, Imperial County Sheriff’s Office and the ASA’s sister organization, the American Desert Foundation rely on this grant funding to provide ISDRA services. Such services include, but are not limited to: ATV Safety training, EMS services & supplies, educational outreach, law enforcement, sand removal, toilet maintenance and trash removal. Please take a moment to participate in this important process.

Because of the decrease in the amount of grant funding currently available, the process has become extremely competitive.  Your comments and letters of support are strongly encouraged. 

 
 

 

Beltway to Sand Highway (at the Imperial Sand Dunes)

Three members of the Washington Office Division of Education, Interpretation, and Partnerships visited the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area on Friday, March 9, 2012.  The trio had just completed attending the Association of Partners for Public Lands conference in Las Vegas, and traveled to the dunes for a site visit.  Brianna Candelaria (Interpretation Lead), Trevor Needham (Partnership Lead), and Betsy Wooster (Youth Programs Lead) were interested in learning more about this dynamic area and its related programs.  “With back to back Silver Awards in 2010 and 2011 for Excellence in Interpretation or Education, the El Centro Field Office is doing something right, and we had to visit,” commented Interpretation Lead Brianna Candelaria.

While at the dunes, the Washington party was given a brief overview of the area, which included updates on the various outreach, interpretive, and safety programs provided to the public, many of them possible through an extensive network of partners.  A buggy ride through the dunes afforded them with hands-on experience illustrating exactly why the area attracts 1.5 million visitors each year.  The group ended their visit with sand in their teeth, smiles on their faces, and an appreciation of the challenges and opportunities found only at the Imperial Sand Dunes.

Avoiding Blasts from the Past

The El Centro Field Office participated in training designed to inform and educate staff to the presence and danger of unexploded ordnance (UXO) left over from military training activities during WWII.  With a good deal of the resource area located in the former California-Arizona Maneuver Area (C-AMA), the odds of finding munitions and munitions debris from these training activities remains high.  The BLM-California Desert District manages the majority of the former C-AMA in southeastern California.

The training was provided by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the agency responsible for the clean-up and environmental restoration of these areas.  Instructor Sonny Franks provided hands-on examples of the seven general types of munitions that may be found on BLM’s public lands.  These include small arms ammunition, projectiles, mortars, land mines, rockets, grenades and smoke pots. (Readers may remember a 40mm grenade found by a camper in the Dune Buggy Flats area of the Imperial Sand Dunes in November, 2011.)

Visitors to BLM public lands, and other Imperial Valley desert locations, are reminded that unexploded ordnances (UXO) are often very unstable and dangerous.  Because not every bomb looks like a bomb, keep away from strange looking devices and contact authorities immediately.  Here are some guidelines to follow should you encounter a UXO.

  • If you see UXO, STOP, do not move closer.
  • Do NOT transmit radio frequencies near UXO (this includes cell phones, two-way radios or citizen’s band radio.  Keep at least 100 ft. away).
  • NEVER touch, move, or disturb UXO.
  • NEVER remove anything near UXO.
  • Call 911 and report UXO. Move 100 ft. away before using cell phone or radio.
  • Avoid any area where UXO is located.

Remember:  Recognize.  Retreat.  Report.

For more information on the history of C-AMA, contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Public Affairs Office at 213-452-3921. For more information on lands managed by the BLM in the El Centro area, contact 760-337-4400, or visit our web page at http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/elcentro.html.

Jagged-X recounts the Mint 400 race, and why last minute preps and new cars can bite you in the butt

Mike
“Well there is a saying…. ” you can’t win em all” The Jagged X team was reminded how true this is at the mint last weekend.

As everyone knows we have been busy building two brand new cars to debut at this race. Anyone who has built a desert race car knows how the last minute stuff can really take it’s toll. I am hear to say that if you build two cars it is twice as bad!

We had all hands on deck for the last few weeks finishing the two RZR XP 4′s and at about 3:00 am on Friday morning the cars finnaly headed to Vegas with virtually no test time. We feel that the final product looked as good as anything we have ever built X 2 with the cars being identical twins.

The whole weekend became a series of bad luck events starting on Friday evening when we discovered a coolling system problem on one of the new cars. This forced us to pull the plug on one of the cars.

After discussing the options with the team we made the decision to have our two pro drivers compete and surrender our Sportsman entry. Matt parks would drive the new 1932 XP4 while Brandon Schueler would step into the pure stock XP 4 Previously raced at the Parker 250 by Bill Schueler and Craig Scanlon from Polaris Ind.

This course was among the roughest BITD tracks that our drivers have seen in a long time. The start went off good but things began to deteriorate in a hurry. Just a few miles out of pit one the stock 1919 car found something in the dust which caused the left front control arms to become distorted (nice way of saying it ) Brandon and Blake would spend the next several hours making reapairs but would finnaly time out before completing the first lap.

Matt Parks in the new RZR XP4 was busy using his new Kroyer racing engine to come from the very back starting postion to pick off UTV’s, cars & trucks making his way toward the front of the grid. at the end of lap one a primary clutch failure cost the 1932 some valuble time. Matt worked forward in the pack until a broken uniball pin would end his day, leaving him stranded in no man’s land

It was a dissapointing outing for the whole JX team but we were able to realize the potential of the new platform and now have the time to prepare for the Silver State 300 in May.

We want to thank all of our sponsors.

RJ Anderson has been a strong driver in the WORCS series. After Havasu this past weekend, RJ and Team Walker Evans Racing are the new points leader.

Riverside, CA 3/21/2012 – RJ Anderson and the Walker Evans Racing (WER) team headed to Lake Havasu, AZ last weekend and it wasn’t because they wanted to partake in the spring break madness. No, RJ and the team had work to do and work is exactly what they did. After coming up short in round 2 RJ was ready for a win in the Production 1000 class in his Polaris RZR XP900. With his Holz Racing built machine fully prepped RJ lined up next to 30 other class racers and took them all to school putting in the races fastest lap time and winning in dominating fashion. RJ was a full minute ahead of the second place finisher when the checkered flag dropped dominating the class and the race. With this win RJ moved into first in points giving him added confidence and motivation heading towards round 4 of the series. Needless to say, RJ fully enjoyed the tight and rough course at Crazyhorse Campground in Lake Havasu, AZ.

In other news, Walker Evans Racing is proud to announce that RJ Anderson will now be racing with the Stronghold Motorsports team for 2012 at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS). This is a huge move for RJ and his #37 ProLite race team as he now will be racing beside new teammates Jeremy McGrath, Cameron Steele, and Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg. Stronghold Motorsports is the premier racing team in short course off-road racing.

“We are proud to bring aboard the next generation of off road racing superstar,” said Stronghold Motorsports managing partner, Scott Bailey. “Our organization has a great deal of respect for the Anderson and Walker Evans Racing families, and the exceptional level of success they have accomplished both on the track and in the off road racing industry. We are excited in mentoring and continuing RJ’s development as we contend for the ProLite title in 2012.”

We are proud to announce that RJ Anderson’s new personal race site has been launched! RJ37.com will be where RJ and his team will keep fans, sponsors, and those interested on what and where RJ is competing in the know. Its a great way to keep everyone informed on his progression throughout the season and his career. So go visit RJ37.com often and keep up on all things RJ Anderson.

LAS VEGAS– The world-renowned General Tire Mint 400 has selected the Golden Nugget Las Vegas as the “Official Host Hotel” for the 2012 race. With over 270 pre-entries already counted, the top off-road teams in the world will compete in over twenty different classes of race vehicles at this year’s Mint 400, which will take place the week of March 21 and continue until March 25, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Started in 1976, The Mint is steeped in American lore as thousands of racers in addition to celebrities from around the world have attempted to tame the brutal Nevada desert. Contingency or tech inspection takes place each year on Fremont Street in front of the casinos in historic, downtown Las Vegas. Contingency gives the fans a chance to see the race vehicles up close and personal, as well as check out a variety of off-road related products including merchandise from their favorite teams.

“The Golden Nugget was our first choice. It’s important for us to keep The Mint connected with its history on Fremont Street. I stay at the Golden Nugget every time I am in Las Vegas, the rooms are upscale as the hotel is newly remodeled, and the service is outstanding. The Rush tower feels like my second home, they have some of the best restaurants in the Fremont Area,” said Mint 400 CEO Matt Martelli.

“We are excited to have the General Tire Mint 400 here this year. We welcome the drivers, teams and fans and look forward to providing a great experience for all.   The Golden Nugget and Downtown is a great fit for off-road racing and we hope to be the “Official Hotel” for the Mint 400 for years to come,” said Amy Chasey, Vice President of Marketing at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino.

Winner of the AAA Four Diamond Award consecutively since 1977, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas is the most luxurious resort on the Fremont Street Experience, and consistently receives critical acclaim for exceeding customer expectations. The Golden Nugget now offers more than 2,400 deluxe guestrooms and suites; a high-energy casino featuring the most popular slot and video poker machines, table games, race and sports book, and poker room; nightly entertainment with master impressionist and comedian Gordie Brown; world-class restaurants such as Grotto Italian Ristorante and Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse; a luxury spa and salon; and The Tank, a year-round outdoor swimming pool complete with a 200,000-gallon, live shark aquarium and the new H20 poolside lounge. Since 2005, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas has made more than $180 million in upgrades, renovations and expansions under Landry’s Inc, introducing first-class accommodations, exquisite dining options and fun-filled entertainment venues. In late 2009, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas unveiled its newest addition, Rush Tower. This $150-million hotel tower added nearly 500 new guestrooms and suites to the property, brought Las Vegas it’s first Chart House Restaurant and introduced a beautiful new pool, the Hideout, as well as expanded the gaming.
 
Mint 400 Events at the Golden Nugget will include:
 
Monday, March 12 the Golden Nugget will host the 2012 Mint 400 press conference. Media are invited to the St. Andrews room on the conference level of the hotel at 10 a.m. Special guests will include former champions, competitors, B.J.

About The General Tire Mint 400
Started in 1976, The General Tire Mint 400 is steeped in American lore, as thousands of racers, as well as celebrities from around the world, have attempted to tame the brutal Nevada desert. Known as “The Great American Off-Road Race,” The Mint 400 is an epic battle between some of the top off-road racers in the world in over twenty-two different classes of off-road vehicles. An entire week of events lead up the famed off-road race in and around Las Vegas, including a vehicle parade, drivers meet and greet, pit crew contest, crowning of Miss Mint, multiple parties, qualifying, and Contingency or Vehicle Tech inspection. You’re invited to come spectate, party, and race!
