Atta boy. Hopefully this back surgery will go well and I can ride again. If so, sure would like to rip a fivehundy around the cliff. Time for another bike rebuild.Ok, I see we are on different ends of the spectrum again. How about a compromise. I will run what we should call Hybrid Moto or some other catchy named event next year, IF, I can get some major sponsors/event partners onboard to HELP keep the event in the black, AND If I can get this event into a position where as a business I feel it its the same risk and reward as my King of the Cliff event, which is our 3rd place race in the pecking order of event success, then Im in. If you guys believe in this event, I can try to give it the best chance to succeed with a solid and efficient race program on the best track possible. So here's an opportunity to support in what you believe in. Time to step up. CK-1, DHDS01, and anyone else that wants to see me eat crow on this, bring it.
I guess we will know when my schedule is released who talks the talk, and who walks the walk.

Since everybody is Thenlistening to this thread. How hard is it to get transponders? I would pay some extra for one on a practice day or race day. Would be fun for bench racing, counting laps, lap times bragging amongst friends on who swings the biggest pipe!
The RFID stickers are cheaperNot cheap. The receiver system is about 4k give or take and the transponder rentals are 10 bucks or you can buy them for around 150 I think. I would imagine having the Escore people there isnt cheap either. Motosponder can be done without escore but the equipment price is the same on the system but rfi transponders are about 5 bucks.
I like the sounds of the idea of the new event for next year. Jeremy, how about the event being planned between Regional and Loretta's dates, like last weekend of June - Mid July race date, as the one off for this event to get all of those serious riders getting ready for Loretta's to the gate and help make it a training event for Loretta's!!!! The problem that I usually run into when thinking about racing is exactly the complaints already documented.......... the day is Sun up to Sun down, about 5 minutes of 2 motos per class spread out over the 12 hour day. That doesn't help the 20 minute plus 1 lap riding that is needed at Loretta Lynns, so I can go Open practice and ride 30 minute motos for training and spend 1/4 of the time at the track to do so. But I need to get some gate drops in and run some starts that I also don't get at open practice.......
I'm very interested in this. Let us talk.Ok, I see we are on different ends of the spectrum again. How about a compromise.

Does everyone think it would work at the end of the season? I know a lot of people go to Mini Os so would it be viable to run it the second weekend of November? This way the guys going to Mini Os will get an extra race and you'll have the guys who want longer motos but I don't see a need to throw a ton of money at something like this the first go around
With more laps I think the only difference is going to be the gaps between us will just be that much more spread apart.
And - more guys blowing jumps / sections and being general spodes - because of exhaustion
