We are watering as we speak!How is the track looking? It's not under water like East Fork, is it?
Lilly and I already drank your tequila so no refund for uI Pre-registered and I'm not going to be able too make it down this weekend...So I was wondering if it was possible to get a refund or a rain check for the next race.
If $20 is gonna hold you back from one of the best races in Ohio, at the best facility in Ohio, in the sport of motocross which is not cheap any way that you look at it, then maybe you should take up another hobby. This is not a race, THIS IS A EVENT! The CTMX crew is far superior to anyone else when it comes to drawing people to their place, constantly giving out free passes and free classes. Bringing in sponsors and drawing big crowds.
This is the one event that i think no matter what it cost people would still go just because how much stuff is going on and how its ran. I mean heck walk over to the Custom Powersports Rig and you could prolly get enough swag to make up for that $20 and like Georgie said they usually have free pizza.
I have to agree I added up with the boss, me, and 2 kids I had $365 dollars in gate fees, transponders, practice, race fees. I dont have a problem paying the normal fees and even the hook up fees its just all the extra transponders, why gate fee was $20 a person on Saturday but $15 for Sunday so really practice was $30 a session not $25, and the transponder people wouldnt let you use your credit card for the deposit and pay cash for the rental you had to either give them all cash which was $240 for my son and me or your use your credit card for all of it and then get charge $5 more a transponder. I goto alot of the loretta lynn events and they always allow you to uae credit card for deposit and pay cash for rental. If my son wasnt with me I would have been gone and said screw the race. Dont take me wrong it was a great race but still came home with same pieces of plastic as a local race. You guys want to know why attendance is going down just keep nickel and dime the racer. I dont know how you do it with your 8 kids.Now here is another one all for the extra money out of our pockets for the so called event. But I get the feeling from looking at your post on how was the pro class, that like George who is also all for the transponder and wasn't there. That you weren't at the event either. Maybe next year you should lobby for a pressure washer tax in the pits. After all it is an event and why not pay a few more bucks for a clean bike. What's a fare tax? What about $10 and don't forget to add $5 if I pay with a credit card.
I had a good time but it's not Loretta's or Mini-O's so I'm sure we could do with out the transponders. Also the gate fee seems to be creeping up a little isnt it? And I'm not complaining about camping $30 is fare.
Area 51 Can-Am is an event! Less money, more track time, and swag is being given back to the riders. Not left over crap but true prizes ( tires, goggles, gear, backpacks, loading ramps, stands.)
Please don't continue to over price a fun weekend.
Mx099. I have to laugh. The transponders didn't stop my dad and brother from attending. Unforeseen circumstances stopped me. I've hit 5 out of the last 6 battle rounds. Twice left with injury. Once my dad. Once myself. Actually twice myself. Broken Foot and collarbone. Nevertheless....21 gate drops. Only 16 of them were over 1/2 full (20+). Two of those classes were free sign up.
I came from PA so this is not a local race for me. I hold a OMXA, CRA, PAMX, AMA, and WNYR cards so I'm not Cheapie McCheaperson.
I did enjoy myself
You will always have you core group of riders that say transponders rule, but don't show up.
