Next Race: TBD 2012, Full Desert schedule coming soon! For any race information please Call WHIPLASH 602-971-3730 11-30-2011: WHIPLASH will have A full year of REAL DESERT RACING. Our schedule will include races at "THE BOULDERS" and "VULTURE MINE" BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP It is not unusual for the BLM to move personnel around from district to district and State to State. As a result we have NEW Managers in the Phoenix District Offices. The New Managers can't decide whether they should allow COMPETITIVE EVENTS on THEIR LANDS, even though COMPETITIVE EVENTS have been part of PUBLIC LAND USE for DECADES. THEY NEED TO HEAR YOUR OPINION Please e mail a few lines with your opinion to emasters@blm.gov Please be polite and please tell a friend to join with you and, do it NOW !! Please do not put this off. If you don't have time we will still have a series, it just won't include those courses!!Snooze and we all LOSE. Last year was a disaster for us desert racers! When the Forest Service dumped the two Snowflake Races at the last moment, it sent Whiplash's schedule into a tail spin. To be honest, I was pretty disgusted with the public lands administrators. Whiplash had enjoyed a stellar working relationship with the local BLM and Forest Service offices until the California accident sent some of them into a bureaucratic convulsion. Finding New Courses is not easy, Canyon, Speed World and ACP made us welcome, but you just can't have a DESERT RACE on a Moto-Cross Track. Whiplash was instrumental in the lay out of a NEW TRACK near Congress, the New Track will host at least one Whiplash event in 2012. The twisty mountain roads and rocky trails will offer something for every one. You have heard me talk of a NEW TRACK in HOLBROOK, then cancel the race due to unrealistic insurance requirements.Well, some of the community has brought Whiplash a BETTER NEW COURSE, this course will feature Dirt Roads and River Bottom. We have 20 miles of course at this point and have one more land owner to appease for a nearly 40 mile course. Vulture Mine should be back on the menu for 2012, the BLM is in the last stages of their paper work before re-opening the legendary course for us!! We will also be visiting the BOULDERS and the CINDERS in 2012 If you GET INVOLVED NOW! BUT THE BIG NEWS is SNOWFLAKE, we are back to the negotiating table, both sides have shown patience and restraint and as a result a deal seems LIKELY, keep your fingers crossed, IT COULD HAPPEN. We will be posting our schedule as soon as we are able to confirm a couple of dates LAST but not LEAST, we would like to sincerely thank all of you who have raced with us over the past two and a half decades, and last year in particular. Almost any business that has been around as long as we have, has made mistakes, we are no different. You will see detractors on the net dishing us for things that may of happened 20 years ago or even last year. PLEASE REMEMBER; Even a Pancake Has Two Sides! If you are upset with us, talk to me, perhaps I can fix the problem, or at least apologize, personally. Hope to see you next year, Thanks Jay 602 758 5050 ATTENTION ALL RACERS READ VERY CAREFULLY!
