Dear Mr. Webster:
As you may recall, a competitive motorcycle program was held at
the West Mountain Ski Area in August of 1964. The program was
conducted in an orderly fashion, and, we believe, was interesting
to the general public.
The Eastern New York State Sports Committee* and the West Mountain
Corporation** have planned to sponsor a second motorcycle rally to
take place at the West Mountain Ski Area on August 29, 1965. This
letter is in application for permit to sponsor the above event. The
amount of $25.00 is enclosed as remittance for the permit.
The rally will consist of only two events this year; a mountain moto-
choss on a ski trail and an observed trail at the base of the mountain.
Although riders operate motorcycles in the abserved trials, it is not
classified as a race. An event of this type' is dependent upon rider
skill. °
* Eastern New York State Sports Committee -
Incorporated in the State of New York on September 28, 1963.
Officers: President - Howard Newell, Ballston Lake, New York;
-Secretary-Treasurer - Richard DeBie, Schenectady, New York.
** West Mountain Corporation -
Incorporated in the State of New York on October 12, 1961.
-Officers: President - Claude Brandt; Secretary-Treasurer -
Michael Brandt.
Public Liability Insurance 'has been'secured through the Motorcycle
Underwriters Corporation, Chicago, Illinois with coverage of
$1002000 - $300,000 for one day. A copy will be forwarded under
-separate cover as soon as the policy certificate is received.
Flagmen will be stationed $long the race course from bottom to top
visible to each other to asure the trail is clear of spectators and
stalled riders during the succession of events.
Uniformed Constable Control will be provided through the Warren
County Sheriff's office to assure proper competitor and spectator
behaviour.
146
Ambulance and fire service will be provided by the West Glens Falls
Volunteer Fire Company.
I trust this letter provides the necessary information required for
issuance of the permit. If there are any further questions concern-
ing this event, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Very truly yours, .
Ronald N. Jeckel
