What to expect
Ride all day, then eat. The 22nd Annual Mason Dixon Riding Association (MDRA) Banquet and Ride Day is Saturday, November 7, 2026 at Doublin Gap MX in Newburg, Pennsylvania, a family fun day of riding followed by the series awards presentation.
Open practice runs 11 AM to 4 PM and is open to all riders. You do not have to be receiving an award to attend. Dinner and the awards presentation start at 5 PM under the tent: roast turkey and gravy, roast beef, mashed potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, corn, dinner rolls, dessert and iced tea.
Banquet tickets are $40 each, limited to 300, and the absolute deadline to buy is October 1, 2026, because the awards are personalized and the food is ordered ahead. If you are receiving an award you must buy a ticket and be at the banquet to receive it, and riders only need to have attended 6 of the 12 MDRA events to earn one.
Three ways to get tickets: stop by the MDRA table at Pleasure Valley Raceway the weekend of September 19 and 20, call 717-571-5824 to reserve and then pay at the gate on the day, or mail the form and a check to MDRA, Inc., 1146 South Pitt Street, Carlisle, PA 17013 so it arrives by October 1. It is the last MDRA event of 2026 and it is open to everyone.
