I am from Central Pa and nobody around here does PAMX. We do mostly D6 (Eastern PA). As a matter of fact, some of us started to come out to the CRA after Steel CIty National-just cause we where told about the CRA. Before that we didn't know it existed. My point is that we don't do the PAMX thing cause, besides the fact that they seem to have WAY too many classes, run four wheelers that ruin the track, expensive class fees, 3 lap motos, and I could go on, they just are not friendly people. Promoters who run races with 40 classes of 6 riders each is just dumb. What are they thinking? If they give every kid/boy/vet a trophy, that means absolutely nothing, that people will come in droves? Oh and to think you might win some contingency money? Well, if your doing that then your in the wrong era. Back in the early 90's is when you could make 500 a class, not like 100 a class like now(Yamaha and Honda anyhow). Plus a lot of the times they don't have the required minimums (like in the vet classes). Then you have Vet A's running Vet C cause the vet C makes more money in contingency than the Vet A rider makes in payout, cause vet A only had 3 riders, so they pay no contingency! WTF? Oh man is it screwed up! SANDBAGGER!!!!!
Man just have fun, cause $2K isn't going to get you anything in this sport anyhow today. Gosh, you guys have a lot of great tracks out your way.
Last year I came out to TV Land a couple of times and Big Game a couple of times. Do you know with the 3 hour drive, I was back home by 6? Can't do that at PAMX, that is for sure. Those two tracks that I mentioned are PRIME tracks too. Also very safe Every time I went, I never seen the ambulance go. Go to Steel City or Hi Point and see if that happens!
Well, that is my 2 cents from the "Hick in the Sticks!"
