As most of you know Tom Dunn has been the D14 enduro chairman for many years. When he took over, the series was struggling with attendance and we had more events in Indiana than we did in Michigan.
He worked very hard to encourage clubs/groups to schedule enduros in new areas and invited old enduro clubs to get back on the schedule again. In addition to attending their club meetings to discuss enduros, he also would volunteer to assist the club with layout, marking and mileaging of the event. In fact he was still working on these efforts on Saturday as discussions were started with the club in Greenville, Ohio about adding them to the D14 schedule.
Do not worry.....he is NOT "done for". :)
He will continue these promoting efforts as the director of Michigan Off Road Events (MORE). The Fairview event this year will be sanctioned by MORE. He would also like to add a hare scramble event to the schedule in the future and has talked about resurrecting the Tree Topper event in the Kalkasa area.
More importantly, he will continue his political work in Lansing and with the AMA to maintain our off road riding opporunities. I am amazed at what his efforts have already accomplished and the enhancements he is working on for future years.
You will continue to see him at the enduros. Same as last year, he and I will be leading the FES Scoring Team efforts. We will also make these services available to the district events. Who knows? You may even see Dunn and Maurer with a scorecard on our bikes in 2012.
Tom, THANK YOU for all that you have done to resurrect the D14 enduro series. I know your plate will still be FULL, but at least it will not be overflowing n 2012.
