Track size, track prep, dirt/sand do play a major role as does the weather and ability to ride outside year around. Also, many of the kids at the training facilities are from other states, so I am not sure about the correlation between the states where the facility is located and where the...

What no A class and another chance to relive your youth with Alessi on the gate?? Maybe Alessi will run +25 to get his revenge? I'm smelling a hole shot contest Saturday night!!! Who's with me?!

Thanks!

Pete is a good dude. He would probable accept an IOU even. :D

Want to through out an idea here related to the subject. Right now the MX business model is focused solely on the racer and their friends/family that come through the gate and pay to attend. In most cases, this is not enough income to cover all the related costs to promote a race, so tracks...

Can we get some for-rent mechanics to take our kids to the gate, prep it and give the speech so we don't have leave the RV at all?:)

We raced our first race there several years ago and have always enjoyed that place. Good times and good people.

Man you guys like to pick on the exception. Ok, so here is the summary of entries for the OMA for 2014 not including the battle races or fair races. just info. I'll slice it up when I have time.

Summary of entries into at least 2 rounds of the Battle of Ohio last year. (These are unique riders who completed 2 or 3 rounds in each class.)

Back in the 50's you could take your Chevy, Mopar or Ford knock out the glass and add a role bar and race NASCAR. Now its a busine$$. Back in the day we walked up hill both ways to school in the snow and fought off grizzly bears with a loose leaf notebook because we didn't have iphones...

Not exactly what I said. I did not say MX Sports is good or bad, but it exists, so lets deal with it. Not having a C class at LL does not grow the sport, best case it stays the same, but realistically it will cause a loss in attendance across the board in my opinion. Why don't we just have 250...

Not exactly Georgie, and this is why: Most of the kids chasing LL or national qualifiers have had some local success, have won some races and have a few pressed wood plaques, but they would still like to race local races too. By combining b/c you are not helping the situation where newer/local...

I wanted to throw out another idea based on reading all of the posts and trying to understand what is driving the problem. I do not think it has much to do with the pressed wood plaque, but more to do with the pursuit of LL/Nationals qualification and not being forced up vs. local/regional...

I like this idea and was thinking along the same lines. Below is a snapshot from Red Bud's (GLMX) classes. I think this is a good solution with D class. Stagger A and B and stagger C and D. All this would do is split the current C class into two groups. D class is not an AMA class and could be...

There were more issues with running orders, scoring and results than those caused by muddy number plates. I don't want to open that can of worms here, but let's not minimize the issues and own the need for much more organization with the staff and the process.

We do not need more rules or flags. Enforce the rules we have in place now! People were jumping on the yellow flags and nothing was done. Flaggers should have radios and be calling off numbers of any violation so they can be penalized. We hear a lot of talk about it from the AMA refs and the...

Show current OMA card at the gate and get premium reserved parking correct? ;)

I think a lot of people target these type of "events" rather than racing every weekend. Some of the event in MI and NY and even the min-o's have a regional or national feel like the battle races do. Bragging rights can be a big part and the AMA $0.50 plate support just that. I would like to see...

Very good track prep all day

Thought you guys did a great job and the track prep was also very good. Thanks
