The answer is simple but we are leaving it up to the promoters to make the decision for us. One that they will NEVER do for the fear of lost revenue.
Reduce the number of classes.
Less classes ==== More seat time ==== more racers coming back to racing because they can get the bang for there buck ==== Higher profits for the tracks === More investment in the facility ==== even bigger turnouts ==== continual improvement and the process NEVER has to repeat.

Wow...there actually is a guy with some sense about him on this board.A few good points in that article. But honestly IMO, racing has always been expensive. The entry fee's have not doubled, the gate fee's have not doubled, the price of fuel nearly has (depending on time of year and oil wars). I believe the cost of living has effected the downfall of MX both locally and nationally.

However, to the rest of ya's, I so wish you would quit talking about how to save the world with SO much certainty and actually do it. From my calculations we should have almost a dozen new track owners with the perfect track, prep, # of classes, etc. BTW- I'm not holding my breath any of you will open the "perfect track" ever. Just continue to think you could... My opinion only I am certain.
Practice is so last decade, we prefer the terms "open riding", where you ride openly for enjoyment.
