Committee schedules youth ride day date; adopts watered-and-groomed rule for organized events
Summary
The committee moved to schedule a youth ride day and separately adopted a rule limiting youth events to watered/groomed organized ride days; members raised safety concerns about crowding and rider skill evaluation.
On Feb. 5, 2026 the advisory committee considered youth ride-day scheduling and event rules. A motion to schedule the next youth ride day for Feb. 22, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. was made by Joe Steidl and seconded by Brad Harris; the minutes record the motion and second but do not include a separate roll-call tally in the transcript. Committee member Joe Toste asked organizers to place a warning in the rules sheet that riding groups may be broken up if the track becomes crowded. Jimmy Martinez urged "more diligence on evaluating rider skill levels and track crowding."
Separately, Jimmy Lewis moved and Joe Toste seconded a motion to permit only watered/groomed organized ride days (excluding unprepared sessions). The minutes state: "All approved," and the committee adopted that operational rule. The new rule and the scheduling discussion emphasize crowd management and skill evaluation as priorities for upcoming youth events.
