SADRA(Sarasota Area Dirt Riders Association) - Sarasota Area Dirt Riders Association was founded in 1978 when Sarasota was riddled with orange groves where there are now roads and a lot of traffic. Back in the day, there weren't many places that were designated "off-road vehicle friendly". There was also not a lot of organization to get Florida riders together for events. This resulted in somewhat unplanned races in and about the Manatee/Sarasota area. Our founders were pivotal in the creation of Florida Trail Riders and have brought us a long way from the days of looking for somewhere to ride and hoping to not get caught. Thanks to the organization and efforts of our first dirtbike clubs, we now have parks and designated land to ride on. As the years have gone on, some of our original members still remain diligently on board. Ensuring that our new members know how far we have come in the world of off-road racing and learning from our new members, as well.
