Do you know what that sounds like to a promoter?? Your priorities are f****d up. Too long of a day? For you guys or us?? But I will be honest if you guys would be willing to pay the same price for 1 moto, I’m all ears.
BINGO. Every race I've been too 40 or 45 plus has been at the end of the day. OMA or Buckeye series. I had planned to race the mid west shootout this weekend. They are racing one moto Saturday afternoon, and one moto on Sunday. Its only 35 or 40 minutes from home, but I have some where else I have to be Saturday night at 6pm. So I guess, I am probably out for the weekend. They are running practice, then one moto, then one moto sunday. 3 lap motos, but the are like almost 4 minute laps, they combined two tracks.
On a local race level, we do not need to run every class that is offered by MX Sports.

13 motos. That is all we need. This is taking 10 or 11 motos off each moto, 22 for the day. Fill the gates up. No one needs all those other classes.
Who said anything about one moto?
And listening to your target market is important, You hear the same thing over and over in every mx market....long days. But you want to argue with customers about what they are giving you. I can't say I know any successful business owner that calls his paying customers "f****d up". Lmfao....maybe youre starting a new business trend. Insulting customers to increase your profits and build your business!
How the hell did a post about missing some really cool tracks turn into something that literally helps tracks get closed ???
Vet261 posted about Breezewood doing one moto, and that it is working. Its shutting down PAMX and MDRA or whatever, and that we had better wake up!! I'm all ears.
Go back and read the responses from the John's!
The last race at BC was the latest I've ever been at BC for a race, and I blew off racing the last moto because it was going to be another hour, then loading up, etc. Couple others blew it off also.
Usually with normal weather, JO is done earlier than any other tracks. I've been one of the last motos at BC before and hitting the road before 4pm. Hopefully the next race gets back to that again.
You are correct, it wasn't typical for us. Id say the new layout, gnarly 1st set conditions, and Pw's on Sunday all added up. We also didn't get started till 9:30. AND the first class (collegeboy) got called down repeatedly......repeatedly. guess who isn't going first EVER again. We will do better next time. We normally do.
Why repeatedly ? Call then down 2 times wit h a start time. When that time comes you drop the gate. It's pretty easy.
Honestly if you are going to a big name large event, including any battle series race, you should expect a long day. That's a given. It's when you go to a standard run of the mill local Sunday race and they can't get 200 riders done before 6pm that is the real killer.

Yes......been almost last at every single race this year!!I'm pretty damn sure if 40+ or 50+ were first they wouldn't need called twice or more! Connie Sickels take note! ha ha!
No, the point was just that I missed racing some of the tracks on the shirt that were super fun. Thats all. Miss racing some tracks that weren't in the OMA too. What happened to some of those tracks.... not a bashing session, just reliving some fun times View attachment 61429
I just looked too - What part looks cool?Looking a Breezewood online, the place looks very cool. I would like to race or ride there. A little fat for me, 352 miles away though. If I was close I would for sure check it out.
Dammit! It was honda907.....you we’re right before him, guilty by association then!I didn't post anything about Breezewood. I don't even know what that is.
Paved roads and cabins are cool, look at Loretta’sI just looked too - What part looks cool?
