Yup I’ve heard 5-10k. I think people factor in tons of unnecessary costs when they throw those numbers out there. Realistically the only for sure cost you are paying is $100 per class registration, and $500ish for your pit area/camping for the week. And a transponder fee. Also your camping fee...

My trips have been just under/at 2k total. That’s registration, camping spot, food, vehicle gas, bike/accessory gas, tires, graphics, clutch, top end. Can be done fairly cheap or as expensive as you’d like. I was comfortable and prepared all week. I got there Saturday afternoon both times...

Planning on it weather pending

I’ve been wearing this one for 20 years and it seems to get the job done. Looks like a Shoei to me so it must be good.

Silver Valley, holy crap that place is so sick. I’m going to call that my favorite place that I’ve been to in the Carolinas. Long lap times and just about everything you could ask for on a moto track especially if you like fun jumps and some rhythm. It’s a track you can really charge on while...

I remember passing you a bunch with my WP aer forks.

This is not a pro/am correct? Not on the schedule but I know it was last year

No way. The draw to Loretta’s for a lot of people, myself included, is the history and exclusion. Taking my first lap of practice on that particular track was the most rewarding feeling I’ve had in moto yet. I’ve ridden Ironman already without having to earn my ride there, cool track but...

It’s sketchy. I had “fun” on their advanced track, but they literally have a jump that you can’t roll with a mud pit to clear. There’s a sign that says not to roll it. There was a line option around it though, just kinda kooky. The other track was beat, slick, and littered with quads. It was...

I don’t C a problem?

I’m pretty over attending nationals ever since they introduced all the extra “VIP” areas. It’s a big money grab now more than ever, and the VIP treatment in my living room is top notch.

That was his fix, sell the bikes before the bottom end goes. He’s been doing that every since that dang 01 rm

My buddy Stacy Crute went through 4 bottom ends on his 2001 rm125

Yep that was most likely me. I ran the 79 yz250 Sunday in the Evo2 class. I had tons of great competition all weekend along with a few bike issues to iron out for the next event. I did get to run all 3 bikes this year which really kept me busy. Each bike definitely had to be ridden differently...

Yep, that’s the only bike I raced last year. That thing rips! There’s nothing fancy done to it either, it’s just a solid bike for the year.

So far I’m registered for Evo 1 open on a 78 yz400, Evo 2 250 on a 79 yz250, and I have my top end getting sized at Cometic now to hopefully run my 78 YZ125 in the Evo1 125 class. We’ll see on that one. Last year I was only there for Saturday, this year I’ll be there Fri-Sunday. Can anyone...

You’re thinking on a vetfest/battle/can-am scale. Sure those races can hold a 30A class without much issue. I’m talking local racing. May as well not even show up. Been there done that and it’s sucks “racing” yourself. It’s already a bummer to have to seek out bigger turnout races, no need to...

30a/b and 30c works well. There’s a pretty even split between sign ups, and the difference between A and B on a vet level is so marginal and moot. 30a and 30b/c really sucks. You’ll get 2 “A” guys and 20 b/c, which pisses off the “C” riders. Personal vote I’d say just make it one class so we...

It was an extremely mental weekend, the risks we take are very real and sickening. I’ve never been at a race with such a tragedy going on, and I try my best to avoid hearing details. Having the kids whole camp pitted next to us and the reactions we saw was and still is haunting. I question a...

Definitely had a difficult weekend on my end. Overall I felt great on the track when I was on, and one little mistake would leave me under riding the bike, cautiously off pace. Most every moto I put myself in a great position from the start, top 3s leading up to Kong. Great 1st lap charges on...
