261, I had not heard about the kid getting reamed. Bummer. I would have had my buddy dhds on that dad in no time. (I would have intervened).
Lol....No one seems to complain when I step in on parents yelling at their kids making them cry. I guess that is immune from being called an "expert". Any way, I found out about this and actually know the perp, its not his style. Im sure it was a one time incident and it wont be seen again, especially since he got called out. Lots of stress in there life right now.
Positively,
I said this before but its worth repeating.....since the track changes I have ridden Malvern 3 times now. I had a BLAST. I havent said that about Malvern in over a decade. The new layout slowed the track down in a few areas and made it a track where you are now racing other racers more than the 4th gear tapped track. Its more technical and has much better passing options. The new triple that I got completely decimated on here about got the exact changes I was hoping for and now is far safer without making it easier. The added sand in the soil makes for fantastic traction and multiple lines in most every corner.
On top of all that, like Pit261 said, the crew is relentless about giving us a great experience. From dust free pits to perfectly prepped track conditions ..... perfect weekend even in the 90 deg + heat. I couldnt believe how well the track held moisture all weekend. It got rutted, rough and fun. The program went extremely smooth and fast with plenty of track time. Sign up has been upgraded to the kiosk with your AMA card which is so fast and easy. And the addition of Escore with transponder scoring is great. Its awesome to see your lap times for comparisons and training, it helped me show Austin how well he was doing against the bigger, older kids in the 50 class giving him confidence for his last moto.
I had bad starts all day with great battles working forward. I really had so much fun this weekend watching my son keep growing as a rider/racer and do well to feeling really good about my riding by the end of the day with all the great racing I had. Met a few new Pitracer users and hung out with a group of great old friends as well. Its wonderful seeing Ohio MX growing in the Battle series, keep up the great work and thank you for doing your best!
One last thing.......By far Malvern MX did the absolute best thing I have EVER seen with pit riding......There some issues with it saturday so later that day THEY BANNED PIT BIKES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
Congratulations on being the first track Ive been to that grew some balls on that topic.
