CMMC Mini Nationals – How did it all come about
The first Mini National T-Shirt. Designed by
Les with the help from the ladies Aux. They
thought they had ordered too many , but
sold out the 1st day by 10:00am.
Armed with little more than and idea and a promise Les came back and put in motion what is today
the California Mini Motorcycle Club’s (CMMC) annual Mini National. The non-profit club event
draws riders from multiple states and Mexico each competing for over $45,000 in Prizes
Les is the first to say it may have been his idea but the
only reason it could be what it is today is that CMMC is an
all volunteer organization devoted to the kids. Board
members are there every other weekend and countless
hours in between to give the kids a place to race. So, in
keeping with the CMMC creed the Mini National is all
about the kids. Each and every rider will leave Barona
Oaks Mini National with a prize. As Les pointed out, “For
all the work board members do their only payment is
seeing the excitement on each of those kid’s faces as they
leave the prize line.”
Les Craig (former CMMC Board Member) sat on a hay bale in Florida at a national event talking
about the family atmosphere at CMMC Events and how he would like to bring the excitement of a
national motocross event to his extended CMMC family. A Scott goggle representative, Bevo
Forte, sat on the hay bale next to Les and said, “Why don’t you put on your own national event. I
will give goggles to each of the winners if you do.”
CMMC was formed in 1973 and by the first Mini National
in September of 1985 held at Barona Oaks. CMMC’s
reputation of having many outstanding riders to compete
with, a good fan base and its family atmosphere aided in the success of the first Mini National. The
success was not the result of a great marketing strategy but simply a few of the mom and dad’s out
working for the kids. Board members approached local businesses for prizes and once they told
them CMMC was a non-profit group they were astounded at the generosity offered. Les went a
step further and approached Yamaha hoping they might have a few spare parts they could donate.
He was told they were not interested in modified classes but to his surprise they offered brand new
Riva scooters to all the stock class winners if the winners would pay taxes and registration. Next
Bell Helmets was contacted and before long two dozen helmets were on their way down. Soon
after that Oakley, White Lightening clothing and the generosity of other manufacturers filled the
prize bins.
The event was intended for the CMMC kids that didn’t get to travel across country to nationals so
originally to qualify riders had to ride five events prior to the Mini National. This didn’t stop it from
becoming a national event though as by the second year racers were traveling from as far away as
Washington state to qualify. When asked what Les thought of the Mini Nationals today he said,
“The event is bigger than I ever envisioned it to be but I am not surprised because I know the
board members work for free and do it from their heart for the fun and safety of the kids.”
From all of the CMMC Family we wish you a safe and enjoyable Mini
National and hope you can come back and race with us soon.
