Regionals are definitely pulling a bit from the battle series.
Ktm contingency is gone from the series, that was HUGE in years past.
PVR is goofy to have in the series. And that track could be 3x as cool without that concrete start. I won’t even race there unless it’s a regional or pro/am because I know it’s going to cost me a $100 tire. But hey MXtire is right on site for ya.
Most everywhere I’ve raced out of state pays out the vet classes. I’ve grown to really appreciate that and really lost all interest racing for nothing anymore. Would be awesome to see that come to the OMA.
The combination of that stuff is why I’m out for this year. Not really complaining, just some reasoning from my point of view.
If there was contingency or payout on the line, you can bet I’d be doing a smokey burnout on the start at Pleasure Valley come August.
Also, I am assuming the battle at Chillitown will be their Pro/Am they mentioned, that is my draw there. I’ve yet to see that confirmed though and the clock is ticking.
These little bits matter, even if I’m just one person bringing something up, it’s stuff to consider from a promoter standpoint.
