The NSC will be changing slightly how we send out newsletters. Please visit your "Update your member settings" option link on your "My NSC" page (My NSC link on left menu) to determine which and how often you get the NSC Newsletters. I understand some people do not log on to the NSC site very often and may have forgotten their password/username. Not to fear; there is a nifty password reset option on the log on screen which makes logging in painless and easy. The steps once in are pretty simple too:
1. www.ridensc.com
2. Click on “Login/Logout” in the left menu under “member links” and login
3. Click “My NSC” in the same left menu
4. In that page click “Update Member Settings”
5. Read through the options and update your preferences to whichever you would prefer.
There you go, easy as that! While you’re logged in why not post a message on the front page and let everyone know how you’re doing. If you have any problems please let myself or James know and we will do our best to assist you.
-Ride Re-cap: This weekend’s ride was up to Cherokee rd. This ride was amazing as always. Bucks Lake was a little dirt from boats going up and down but everywhere else was perfectly clean. I lost track of how many times I was airborne on Cherokee. I felt like I was dirt biking again. Thanks to everyone who came out.

When: 9/19
Where: Ebbets

-Ride Re-cap: Last weeks ride was around the RFR track watching the TTP race. For those who weren’t able to make it; you missed out! One of the most amazing races I’ve ever seen.
The licensed class went like much of this years (early) MotoGP races where Jimmy Wood (AMA fast guy) took the lead and kept it for the whole race. The interesting part was with Local guys Eddie Virgil and Andy Allen fighting for 2nd place.
By far the best race of the day was the Street class. Chad Canepa and Myron Bergstrom both fought it out for the whole race, changing positions multiple times per lap. In the lat lap Myron led Chad into the bowl, with Chad inches behind him. Chad took the inside line and pushed Myron out on the exit. They both shot down and came around turn 23 in that order. With them both screaming down the front straight toward the checkered flag, Myron drafted behind Chad and slingshotted past him right at the finish line, only wining by a bikes length. Crazy Race!
Check 4theriders for pics. Videos of the race (15+ cameras on track) to follow.
