Rhode Island TrialGP USA 2025 (update 2)

by

Time is flying and the TrialGP USA 2025 Team are making significant progress in planning for the event.

Latest news is that the www.TrialGPUSA.com website launched over the weekend, along with links to the online ticketing and merchandising application. Great work by Mike Serpe!!!!

These sites are still being refined, but please have a look, buy something (don’t forget workers & checkers get free tickets and Limited Edition T-Shirt), and pass the links along to anyone or everyone in your contacts to help publicize the event and encourage others to make TrialGP USA 2025 a DESTINATION for July 11th – 13th 2025.

That being said, there is still a lot to plan, test, deploy and execute between now and then. Here are a couple items I would like to poll the RITC and NETA for assistance:

  1. I need a GEEK to help me to test and evaluate security monitoring software such as ZoneMinder and others. Experience with Windows and Linux environments needed……If you don’t understand anything from that, move onto #2.
  2. We are looking at alternatives to providing traditional power around the paddock area. One of those options is to use the latest gas or propane fueled super-quiet Inverters to provide temporary power to critical functions around the venue, such as, charging points for the team parking cars, small air conditioners, powering temporary offices for FIM, Video crew, Press, Admin, along with a cooled Medical Center.
    • Request 1. Does anyone have one of these super-quiet inverter generators they would be willing to loan, or rent, to RITC for the duration of the event?
    • Request 2. If you are considering buying a generator for this winter, I am exploring some options to get you the generator you want, at a lower cost, in return for loaning the unit for the event. We expect to need generators ranging from 1200Watts to around 9500Watts. If you are interested, please call me at 203 213 2949 to discuss.
  3. I am looking for someone to assist with evaluating and recruiting food trucks for the event. I would like to recruit the vendors from Rhode Island or Eastern Connecticut area. If you are a connoisseur of food trucks in the area, your assistance would be greatly appreciated and may even include a budget to sample their menus!

In addition to these, we are still looking to recruit volunteers to work for one day of the event, get free entry for the other, along with the Limited Edition Workers T-Shirt! Checker recruitment is going well, but we need assistance in many roles behind the scenes. Coach has a list as long as your arm!

That’s it for now. We will continue to work on making the event a success, any assistance you can give will be greatly appreciated by me, my team, the spectators, and the riders on the day!

Any questions or ideas how to make the event a bigger success…..I’m all ears!

Rhode Island TrialGP USA 2025

by

As you have heard, although RITC has the honor to host the event in Escoheag, the event will be a success through the collaboration with AMA, NATC, Regional Associations like NETA, and RITC as host.

RITC has started the planning process to ensure we have the resources, facilities and volunteer manpower ready the event. We are keen to encourage all trials clubs, their families and friends to make the 2025 Trial GP USA a destination next July. We are asking those visiting to consider volunteering to help for one of the three days….Putting on a world round is a lot more complex and complicated than a local or national event, and manpower to assist in and out of sections, parking cars, manning gates, administrative roles, and many other roles that make the event a success are needed.

We are offering incentives for volunteers that includes free entry and parking, commemorative Wagner Cup/TrialGP 2025 tee shirt, food and refreshment, and potentially discounted hotel rates in the area.

We would appreciate if you could circulate this note to the NETA membership and encourage them to make Rhode Island TrialGP USA 2025 a destination in July, and if interested, reach out to me if they, their family and friends would be interested in volunteering to work one of the days and take advantage of the incentives.
Any questions or thoughts on how TrialGP USA 2025 can be more successful…..we are all ears!
