Anyone watching the FIM mx GP series ? Tracks don't have many jumps. Lots of turns and singles. Challenging tracks. I hope RV goes over there to see how he stacks up.
The hardest crash I had in recent years was at Fly raceway, and it was going down the back straight. I didn't see the drainage ditch that was across the track, and the dirt is soft right there. The guys who ride there a lot just know about it and pop the front end over while going 4th gear. Well I didn't, the front end stuck sending me flying over the bars. Messed me up for 6 months.
What is up with all the GP riders wearing those ugly arse Airon helmets? Man those things are ugly. I would rather wear a visorless openface with a jofa mask and a pair of Super Seers then those dorky things
I doubt the vet riders would do it. They're big enough to roll and not feel like a total Spode.yeap, moderate
And that is an example of a problem a promoter should fix.....IMO
You don't...that's how. Just talk about how "...you would do it if you were in charge..." on Pitracer... 'Cause it's fun ta.Alright, lets debate the "rating system"...
1. If its a B rated track are C riders not allowed to ride?
2. Will A and B rated tracks be charged more or less from the insurance companies?
3. Who decides what rating is given? Riders? organization? Promoter? Obama?
4. How often will they be reviewed? Everytime they change anything? What about after disc and watering?
I agree with the lack of structure but that is caused by free enterprise. You can not force a track to have races or split anything. Most tracks that have open practice and no racing, cater to the weekend warrior in blue jeans and a wife beater tank. There are A LOT more of those then most racers think. In most cases those are the people that are keeping the tracks open. These guys are often happy enough with just a "ramp" and a mud hole. How do you put them in a rating system? How deep of a mud hole can you have before the facility have to bumped up to the next slot on the rating scale?
