I am going to hit this feaking dead horse once again.
Local races DO NOT have to run every freaking class that your have for Loretta Lynns! Have all your 40 classes for the qualifiers and Regionals, but at the local level cut the class structure back. Someone please give it a try! Also., the AMA should not allow people to race qualifiers in 3 and 4 regions. Make it one or two max, so that some of these guys go home and race some local races rather than qualifiers all the time.
I would like to see a track like Dirt Country go back to racing Saturday nights under the lights. Used to get there about 2 pm for 3 pm practice. Would give your Saturday mornings for other activities and other things that needed to be done, and your sunday was totally free also. Saturday night races were always attended well.
DMC needs to go back racing in the Dayton area. Like the track or not, their track prep has been decent the last couple years. They always had some of the best VET turn outs in the state. BUT......they made track changes this year, and I have heard people from B riders to Vets say they do not like the changes and wish they had not made some of the jumps like ethey did. I think some tracks turn people away because of the design.
Practice days..........NO Practice before race day. More show up for practice than race day. I get tired of hearing people say they need a million laps of practice on a track. Used to be we only had an opportunity to race some tracks because they never had practice, so you wanted to go race. Did Kenworthys ever have practice? Nope. Line up and race.
I have tons of ideas, but seems like no one wants to listen sometimes. How about the AMA, OMA, or CRA form a riders committee. A diverse group of seasoned racers that have ideas and opinions that organizations could discuss ideas and changes with? Maybe they would get some ideas to help grow the product.
