Yep-- now you're learning... now you're learning. I'd talk to Rob Buydos too. He was one of the guys who got the ball rolling in the area around 2001. IMO-- when there was the TV Land series, AND the "Lube races going on-- along with the random races, it was just way too many events to get a good turn out at any of them. It's kinda happening in big bikes as well.
I dunno. I think the clowning in the Stock races is kinda fun. I know for sure that the 12 inch Open race is as serious as a National, but other than the $ race-- why not have a good time ridin' and racin' mini bikes? That's why we do it, to have fun! Part party/part race.
All I know-- is I love riding and racing pit bikes, but I DON'T wanna spend alotta cash, and I don't want to work on the bike alot other than washing the machine from time to time, cleaning the air filter, and changing the oil. I don't want to build a motor either.
