BLM DENIES RACE PERMIT. HHHEEEEELLLLLLPPP!

Please Join Us in Our BLM Battle…

SNORE needs everyone’s help. We are in a critical battle with the BLM at this time; our Midnight Special race permit request has been denied. We are fighting this denial.

We are asking everyone to please send e-mail letters to:
... secretary@snoreracing.net
stating how this will affect the economic impact to your business and community if this permitting for race events are denied.

We need 7000 letters in 48 hours so they can be included with our appeal.
Please act on this critical, time-sensitive request IMMEDIATELY!!!!
Thank you!See More

 

If the blm denied the permit why don't we email the blm instead of snore?

 

x2 petition?

 

Either way email sent

Bump. It really sucks when they closed down these events.

 

SNORE needs to collect the 7000 letters to hand over over in one lump! Bigger support impact!

hmm, thats a weird move on behalf of BLM. Maybe this is just them extending their hand of power, reminding us who is in charge? I was just at a race this past weekend, nothing bad happened.

 

I think its because its a Night race.

 

Been held every year! In 3 different locations but still.....

 

If this race doesn't happen, then why in the hell am I building this Roof basket with 4 hellas?

Oh ya, cause it's sweet! lmao

 

move it to Cali, we'll approve it

 

It was in Ridgecrest last year I think! And NO! Too far for me....lol

 

hope you dont huck it with the roof rack and 4 hellas if its bolted to the sheet metal

 

Unfortunately, this has become more common. Not just the BLM but the Forest Service has also been denying permits after collecting enormous fees. Very often, after the event has been advertised and folks have signed up and it's ready to go off.

The Forest Service just ass-fucked the people that run the Fool's Gold Enduro (motorcycle event) by telling them the event could not collect entry fees...WTF? How the hell do they think someone can put an event like that on without collecting entry fees? So the Fool's Gold people have made it free and are asking for donations.

You can (and should) write your local assemblyman, state senator and the board of supervisors in the county the event would have been located in. If there's an email address, encourage others to write and if you can, provide an example as that's often a way to incent others to do the same.

You should also support groups that lobby on behalf of OHV access. Groups like Blue Ribbon Coalition and local access groups can use your support. Donations of time and or money are incredibly helpful as are responding to requests to write letters.

As for this particular event, attendees should be encouraged to write as well. If you were planning to stay in a motel or eat in area restaurants, buy gas or groceries, you should detail an approximate amount you were going to spend.

I don't want to sound like the "sky is falling" but with budget cuts and increased opposition to all things OHV, we need to take every opportunity to make our voices heard in as many places as possible.

Good luck with your fight.
