Sheesh! I was on here to see how Vintage Days was going, and I stopped here! Let me get this straight... you want to seriously inconvenience almost everybody that comes out to ride at the spot so the pee wee kids can take over the imtermediate track?
Godfather-- you seem like a nice guy who is concerned about your kids which is great. On the other hand, you're likely getting poisoned by input from parents who likely don't even ride bikes! There has been talk about splitting sessions if the tracks are super crowded, but we haven't seen it yet. In all honesty-- you guys are waaaay over-thinking the whole thing. That's what happens when humans get too many options-- they can't handle it!
Also-- I have no idea what you do for a living, but to people who operate tracks, it's their job. The donations they take in is how they eat. It's in their best interest to have as many happy riders as possible come out to ride. MX-onomics 101... maybe 15 pee wee's that pay an extra $5 to have the intermediate track to themselves is really only $75 of added donations. If you lose 10 or more riders due to what you suggested, then you're losing at LEAST $200 to gain $75 at that rate... not very smart. I know you all are safety minded, but I think you would find that there would be just as many close calls with nobody to blame.
Anyway-- I said it before, it's up to us to co-exist, or none of us will have a place to ride. Let your best judgement decide where the boys ride, and don't let the other parents decide for ya. Operating a track is a ton of work, and the folks at the Cabin work as hard or harder than any. I'd keep the complaints to a minimum and just focus on having some good 'ol family time. Just my $.02 bro!
One more thing-- you may want to look into riding some trails. Trail riding is alot of fun, and the boys may learn quite a bit from it. Crow Canyon, and Briarcliff have some nice trails as far as I know. --L*64
