I hope your right , because without the increase in riders , all the new pricing does is turn a low turnout into a loss , when at least before you could break even on a bad turn out , but a promoter will get crushed with reduced pricing and a low turn out .
I will have to agree with you that the weather plays a huge role anymore , way more now than back in the day
This is something I don't understand. When I raced in 2005-2007 every weekend, we raced rain or shine. There were times it poured buckets during my moto. Why did this change? Why are races now canceled with just a slight possibility of rain? I just don't get it. Why the sudden change? Is it the pussification of america? Just curiousWe were talking about this exact thing this week after having to reschedule our race at Treaty City this past weekend.
I don't understand either! I raced 1979-88 never seen a race cancelled! Imo it's a combination of generation of riders and track owners,maybe a four stroke thing! I did here Red Bud cancelled Vet Vest after first Motos! Does anybody think they refunded 1/2 of entry fee?This is something I don't understand.

So it is a four stroke thing? You don't have to tell me about football been an official 20 years, seen the changes first hand! I can tell you this football has had changes to make it safer at all levels, which is something I can't say about motocross!A nasty mud race, is that really much of a race? It is survival, not racing. And with the cost of a new bike today, and rebuilds, it is not like the old days, blow it up and rebuild it the next day. The sport has changed, just like every other sport has changed from 25 years ago. I am very involved in football, want me to start a page of the hundreds of things different in football today from 25 years ago?
I was thinking the same thing about 4 strokes. Not saying they killed the sport but they may have played a roll in changes. I do agree that in the early 2000s it was cheaper to rebuild my 125 and I did rebuild it between races. I can say that I have never blown a bike up in a mud race or felt that a mud race or two really took a toll on my bikes lifespan. (Of course they were and always will be 2 strokes).So it is a four stroke thing? You don't have to tell me about football been an official 20 years, seen the changes first hand!

So what is the"product"? Pymatuning or motocross in general?even at a discount, the consumer does not want the product. Odds are the product is no good.
Never been there. Just speaking purely from a business standpoint.So what is the"product"? Pymatuning or motocross in general?

A lot of tracks in that area by looking at the map so the product (track) must not be as quality as others down the street.
Plenty of businesses have a sure fire product that they just know is going to sell well. A few months later they are selling all their inventory to Big Lots
Ok so you have never been there then why post a negative comment about the track??? Other people posted bad weather or kids going back to school. But you always go the the glass is half empty!!! Can you explain why???Never been there. Just speaking purely from a business standpoint.
