Will the water station be well water or tanks with pond water?

Just curious. We were at a recent qualifier that had 6 practices classes, ran from noon 'til five. Everyone was able to get four sessions in and track was not crowded.

Why so many practice classes on Friday?

You want to talk about the disparity in the AMA - the previous AMA Motocross Assistant Manager, Mike Pelletier, now Supercross manager, reiterated the AMA rule last year in a discussion about amateur rider classification that “Participation in, or advancement to, a higher class in any AMA or...

The problem isn't needing to "curb the pit riding", the problem is curbing the people who are riding pit vehicles like idiots. There are tracks that we are pitting a minimum of 1/4 mile from the track (Red Bud, mini O's, etc) and if you need to go check the running order, buy a bag of ice, run...

Don't bitch, some other tracks (Briarcliff, amongst others) are charging $40 per class for qualifiers. Looks like you're getting a bargain at East Fork.

They had the new metal grates at Mini O's this year, did not chew tires up at all. In fact, after all the rain and mud piling up on the grates, you had to use a brush just to get down to the grating (no wire brushes allowed per AMA rules). Now the concrete start at Pleasure Valley chewed up...

Car tires might be rated for 80 MPH but I guarantee you the trailer tires aren't...

Scatter like roaches when the lights turn on

Saw on the news tonight that thieves hit Gollan’s Honda-Suzuki in Warren, OH. They apparently stole a pick-up to get there, and it was left there. They cut the electric and then pried open a rear overhead door. Took two 2018 Honda 450’s, two Suzuki’s (not sure if it was 450’s or 250’s), and an...

Probably was David Lisowski. His dad texted me that he broke tib and fib on one leg and both ankles. His dad was in Texas for work and his flight was canceled so he was trying to get home. David was with his girlfriend at practice. Think he had surgery scheduled for next week?

You could still be on a 50 and get moved to a B class. You can continue to race 50, 65, 85 and schoolboy classes. Just means you cannot race C class once you move out of youth classes.

I thought the grates were a good idea at Mini-O's until we got all of the rain and then mud. You had to have a scrub brush to get down thru all of the mud just to find the grate. Rules also state you cannot use a brush that has wire bristles, must be nylon. And they did have officials checking...

My son is sponsored by them as well and used a couple pairs over the last year. He was very happy with them and preferred them over Gaerne and Alpinestar. He's sticking with them for the coming season and they seem to be picking up momentum as it was a bit tougher to get the support for the...

Yes he did. Jimmy lives in Idaho now.

T pulled the hole shot in that moto and ran towards the front for awhile. Stalled it at the bottom of the finish line hill and a few more got past him. They cut the last moto's down to three laps because they are running so far behind. This actually helped him out as he does not have a lot of...

They're not going.

I have a hunch you can multiply that number by 10 if people knew they could camp without paying the $30 a night fee (which I feel is reasonable for partial hook-ups).

A couple more comments and then I'll tap out: Excellent race and event. Our family looks forward to it each year and you did not disappoint. A few things did put me on edge though: Saturday sign-up: I only signed my son up for practice, which is typical for me. If he gets injured or has major...

Uh, yeah.... I did pay for my son's practice sessions. I also pay for the vehicles I drive, but if someone told me to go over to Joe's Ford Dealership, you can drive a new car off the lot and not have to pay for it, I wouldn't be begging them to take my money. With paying for the "not open"...
