This post makes me realize I will not let my kids race until they are good and on 85 's. I want no part of the mini dad world!
I can"t tell you how many times I have said referring to the C track. I wish I had a track that nice when I was learning how to
ride. Maybe part of the problem is the name C TRACK.
Keep them from basketball, baseball, football, hockey....etc.... as well. Mind as well lock them in the house...Pot stirmaster! You did not have a dog in the race either and should have moved on after you read Jer's first paragraph. LOL....no more dinner dates for you with Zman and Zboy!...but Mitchy does want to go for another ride in the big truck...he enjoyed driving down the road looking down on every other car.
Now what about running the 50+ class on the C track???
Well I will speak for myself and a hand full of other 65 riders but if we don't run the big track we wont be there, it was bad enough what you did to us last race running us after the quads on a dusty concrete track with absolutely no ruts. All the OMA races have seemed to run long but I think the class structure is what really needs looked at. And when there is 10 different quad classes in any class structure its going to be long.
I have a very fair understanding of motocross as we travel out of state racing alot to area qualifiers and regionals, 50 sr and 65s are fully capable of navigating these ruts, no they won't get through it like the big bikes but these are the conditions these kids face at national events , 65 and 50 senior was ran right after quads yet the beginner classes was ran after the track was ripped back up, make sense of that for me, and yes a 65 has a 12 in rear and 14 inch frontDarrell....Darrel my boy! It's customary from the beginning of moto time to run pee wee diddies after quads! You got what a 12 inch wheel and you want to race 36 inch ruts?! Even at the big shows they smooth the corners before 50s. And what happens when Johnny can't ride the blue groove and that's all there might be at your 3rd moto at the regional. Gotta learn to ride all the conditions when young then choose to gripe when you're older and buyin the tires!

The track was flatter and packed in quicker because the potential rain dicked up our prep. We didnt want totake the chance of ripping it open the night before with a 50% chance of rain on Sunday. So you saw a big track with 5 loads of water, not 15, and disc only. Then add high winds and sun. It was a worst case scenario for us. Dont blame the quads, if we had the foresight to know the forecast was a bust we would have prepped it to the nines, and it would have been good for all.
