What would it take me to come back to racing locally???? I don't know if anything would. I'm too busy with real life and don't have the time I used to have to play between work and my youngest kid still in the house with his sports. I would like to check out the tracks that I haven't seen or ridden before, but my bucket list of tracks is all of the "National" tracks past or present and I've not hit all of them up yet. I'd like to ride the Unadilla Regional this year to get that track off my list, but that's not local. I'd like to ride Spring Creek too, and that's not local either. Locally, I'd now go to EROC style races at places that will have that kind of race, so that I can get an hour straight on the track, pack up, go home, and not have the day take from 4am til 10pm by the time all of it is said and done. I like to ride more than spectate, so I do want more seat time. I'd love the 10 less classes both Briarcliff tracks combined race....... I'd show up for that! Even when I go to Red Bud, I sign up for 4 classes and spend all day out on the track, almost no time in the pits or watching, because I just wanna ride.
But I think we need to get more KIDS racing so we have a future. Kids are going to be the riders of tomorrow, because my group is slowly dwindling off as health issues keep us off bikes. I shouldn't be the target market for a return to racing. Make it fun for the kids!
