2015 SWVTA Schedule

Posted by on March 10, 2015 Comments Off on 2015 SWVTA Schedule

Hello all,

The dates for this years SWVTA Series have been set. Just like last year, it will be divided up between Spring and Fall. It is as follows:

Round 1:       March 29 (Sun), Willis’ Woods, Palestine, Tx.
Rounds 2&3:  May 2/3, Rio Bravo MX Park, Houston, Tx.
Rounds 4&5:  June 6/7, McMahan Ranch, Smithville, Tx. (ITSA National)
Summer Break
Round 6:       Sept. 20 (Sun), Bluebonnet MX Park, Deanville, Tx.
Round 7:       Oct. 10 (Sat), Huffman Frams, Donie, Tx. (AFSP)
Round 8:       Oct. 24 (Sat), Luchenbach, Tx. (Harvest Classic)
Round 9:       Dec. 5 (Sat), McMahan Ranch, Smithville, Tx. (Awards Banquet)

Like last season, the best 5 rounds count towards year end trophies. Hopefully everyone can try and make as many as possible.

We had to shuffle around the date for the American Fallen Soldier Project (AFSP) to avoid some conflicts. By doing so, we’ve extended our series into early December. At our final round in December, we will also be collecting toys for a good cause. More on that later.

Also, even though it is not required to be an ITSA member to compete, I would highly encourage you to join. It cost $40 a year and will save you $10 entry per event. If you ride 4 rounds, it pays for itself. If it wasn’t for Bob Ginder and all of his hard work at ITSA, it would be damn near impossible for a group as small as our to provide liability to the land owners and the club to host an event. So please, if you can, join. The ITSA web site is:

Keep your feet up!

SWVTA – Rider Clinic

Posted by on January 24, 2015 Comments Off on SWVTA – Rider Clinic

Yes, it’s that time again. Time to get those old bikes out of hibernation, top off the fluids and change out the plugs. Our inaugural 2014 SWVTA Championship series went out with a bang. We had great ridership over the coarse of the year, and a few of us competed in enough events to qualify for year end trophies, not to mention the really cool jackets for those who won their respective class.

We plan on kicking off the 2015 SWVTA Championship Series with a rider clinic Saturday, February 21st at Huffman Farms outside of Donie, Tx. This will be a loosely organized fun day with advanced riders helping out the beginners with tips on bike set-up, riding and falling. We will gather around 9:30am, with a lunch break around noonish with a club meeting to hammer out dates for the 2015 championship series. No charge for entry fee, feel free to come camp out. It will also be Jay’s birthday! Help him celebrate.

Oh, and see the pdf of the final tally from last years series. Points were awarded as the following: 1st=30, 2nd=25, 3rd=21, 4th=18, 5th=16, 6th=16 7th=15 and so on.

See you the 21st,
Stephen Hetzel

2014 CTTA Summer Series Wrap-Up

Posted by on December 23, 2014 Comments Off on 2014 CTTA Summer Series Wrap-Up

The CTTA hosted the 6th and Final Round of the 2014 “Summer” Series on December 13th with the Annual Toy Drive Trial; a special thanks to Ben Dalgeish for organizing this charity event. About 33 riders enjoyed an event set by TrialsMaster Neil King and you can check out the section-by-section results here, results courtesy of Mitch Ely.

The Summer series enjoyed a great turnout tis year, with more than 80 riders participating in an event! Thanks to everyone that participated. So many people helped make this series a success – to the landowners that graciously hosted an event, to the trialsmasters and organizers of an event, to the volunteers that helped clear or build sections and to those that ran sign up and scoring – THANK YOU! This series wouldn’t happen without your support. The overall series results can be found here.
