I'm glad that everyone had fun and enjoyed the event and it makes the possibility for next years event even better. I was bummed that I got 0 track time before heading to the hospital with my son, and he's got 3 big stitches right in the pit of his armpit. He crashed on his first lap of practice and the bike's footpeg got caught up under his arm as he went down....... weird accident that gave a weird injury, but that's just how it goes.
JO, I'm sure that you know many of the shortcomings that were already pointed out and addressed but one that didn't seem to come up was the fact that the "Sport" classes were out there not to be mixed with the real jumpers to ensure their sanity and safety. But behind the blazing fast +30 and +40 regular classes, the sport guys were getting lapped by the fastest / biggest jumpers of all, which is exactly what they tried to avoid by signing up for sport. Anyway, a 2 day more time format will most likely give the Sport guys a chance to ride on the track without being behind the really fast Vet guys who are jumping everything............. but wanted you to know that some of them were afraid of their other class guys that were lapping them.
The other thing that was missing a little bit was pit area watering of the roads, which is to be expected in 91 heat and trying to keep the track nice. But the top of the line tracks / races have a crew that keeps the dust down in the pits too as something to think about for next year.
I'm sure next year will be even better and would love a 5 race series around OHIO if that could happen, but am very happy that you took the chance on starting something new in our neck of the woods. "Must Do" events are hard to come by, and you are well on your way!
