Dear Friend of the Northland 300:
My hope is that you will read this in its entirety as the contents went into effect April 1 and it will affect the 2020 ride and all that our ride entails.
First of all, we now have 8 teams in place instead of 4. This was done not just for a more enjoyable ride, but so that we have room to grow our event. At our first Driver/ Support Meeting you will be asked to sign up for the team that you will ride on. They are as follows:
GREEN – Mike Richards
T2 – Jim Reger
WHITE – Marc Williams
PINK – Dave Gerlach
BLUE- Nick Meister
WHITE 2 – Kyle Crain
YELLOW – Tarry Trout
PURPLE – Jason Reinsch
Between now and October 8 (First Driver/Support Meeting) you should give some thought as to whom you will be riding with. NO TEAM WILL GO OUT WITH LESS THAN 6 SLEDS AND NO MORE THAN 10. It is important that you know we are only taking 100 riders this year and we already have 64 registered, thus making only 36 spots available. SO IF YOU ARE NOT YET REGISTERED, YOU SHOULD DO SO IMMEDIATELY ON THE ENCLOSED FORM.
We will be picking pole positions differently this year. It will be by a drawing so that it is totally the luck of the draw.
2020 is going to be a GOLD MEDAL YEAR. Those of you remember when we did this in the past, we will be looking for the very best team on the ride. Details will be given out at the First Driver/Support Meeting.
We are committed to safety this year so we will be providing First Aid supplies in a backpack to each team, along with each Support Vehicle. Each team, along with our Support Team will be have training this year.
Lastly is a new ruling on Sponsorship money. At the time your sponsorship is turned in, you will be asked the following:
Are you going to take full credit for these funds as you have initiated the funding?
If not, you will be allowed to use only ½ of the amount to go towards pledges for you and others. The names of the participants that this will cover cannot be changed.
Our sponsorships have become watered down and we can no longer allow this to happen.
The Northland 300 is about bringing an awareness to Special Olympics through our fundraising and our safe and responsible snowmobiling. All Lead Drivers and Support will receive training for this so that all will have an equal opportunity to demonstrate these expectations. We will provide the tools and each of you will be asked to demonstrate that you are the very best that is on the trails and on support.
I hope that you sign up today so that you are one of the 100 that will be on the 2020 NL300. We look forward to seeing you at Hay Days (Sept. 7-8)or at our First Driver/Support Meeting (Oct.8). If you have any questions, you can contact me or any person on the NL Board of Directors. You each are very important to the success of our ride.
Friendship in Snowmobiling,
Kathy Karkula
