| I first learned about NETRA when I met my now husband back in the late 80s when he raced in Hare Scrambles and Enduros. After a bad crash and injury he decided to take a break. We started back again with our two young girls in 2003 in Nervous Novice then the first Pee Wee ever late that year. We all became involved in Netra joing the "Nutmeg Scramblers" and racing pee wees then on to Jr Enduros and Hare Scrambles.Our oldest daughter won the Jr Enduro girls championship in 2007. For us getting invovled with helping put on events and learning the process has helped put all of this in prospective. There is alot of work from alot of people to put on an event. I have since become a BOD member and then Competition Commette member of Netra and President of the Nutmeg Scramblers Motorcycle club in Ellington CT.
We spend alot of weekends throughout the year at Netra events meeting new people from all over New England. |

My time with NETRA goes back to my childhood racing motocross. At the time there were no Jr. Enduros - only Senior Enduros. My friends and I put on Jr. Enduros in our town, so I wrote a letter to Trail Rider Magazine's Bob Hicks asking why there were no Enduros for kids in New England. He published my letter and soon after, Jr. Enduros were added. I have competed in Hare Scrambles, Enduros, Turkey Runs, and Charity rides through the years.
After a nearly 15 year absence from the sport, my family and I have returned. My daughters Chelsea and Stacey started in nervous novice and then pee wees and are now competing. I have also started racing again. I feel it is my turn to give back to the sport and organization. I am not finishing my second year as Youth Coordinator, Competition Committee member, and Board of Directors member and am a member of the Nutmeg Scramblers Club. |
