Get ready for an exciting weekend of motorcycle racing as Motovid.com partners with the Central Roadracing Association (CRA) to bring you an expanded racing season in 2026. This collaboration promises to be a game-changer for riders and racing enthusiasts alike.
Unlocking the Racing Experience
The CRA, with its rich history dating back to 1970, has been a pillar of motorcycle road racing in the Midwest. Their focus on safety, education, and sportsmanship has created a strong community of riders. Now, with the support of Motovid.com, they're taking it to the next level.
One of the key highlights is the introduction of new MotoRace programs. These programs are designed to bridge the gap between track days and competitive racing, offering a structured and supportive environment for aspiring racers.
A Weekend of Racing and Community
The upcoming round 4 at the freshly repaved Blackhawk Farms Raceway is a testament to this partnership. It's not just a race; it's a celebration of the racing community. With a $5,000 cash purse up for grabs, riders have a compelling reason to participate and showcase their skills.
For those new to club racing, the MotoRace Academy Level I Race License Clinic on July 24 is a game-changer. It prepares riders to obtain their CRA race license, providing them with the tools and confidence to compete in the weekend races. This all-inclusive package removes barriers and makes racing accessible.
Active licensed racers can also benefit from the MotoRace Test & Tune Race Practice, a unique opportunity to fine-tune their setup and gain a competitive edge on the new track surface.
The Impact of Contingency Awards
What makes this partnership particularly fascinating is the introduction of contingency awards and cash purses. In my opinion, this is a game-changer for the sport. It not only incentivizes riders to participate but also adds a layer of excitement and competition. From my perspective, this is a brilliant strategy to grow the sport and attract a wider audience.
A New Era for Midwest Racing
With over 55 years of experience, the CRA has established itself as a leader in safe and organized motorcycle road racing. Their commitment to sustainability and community is evident in every event they host.
Motovid.com, with its 23-year legacy in performance riding education, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. Their structured approach and focus on safety make them the perfect partner for CRA.
As we look forward to this exciting collaboration, one thing is clear: the future of Midwest racing is bright. This partnership has the potential to inspire a new generation of riders and create a lasting impact on the sport.
Conclusion
The CRA and Motovid.com partnership is a powerful example of how collaboration can elevate a sport. By combining their strengths, they're creating a racing experience that is not only safe and inclusive but also highly competitive and rewarding. This is a new chapter in Midwest racing, and I, for one, am excited to see where it leads.
