Chris,Wait. What? The race Ohio schedule shows two races per month. My calendar shows 4 weekends per month. Racing against a track in your own organization is flat out dumb. Yes I can see chili race this weekend is not part of the series but come the heck on... you pick going against Chili and not a pro race 250 miles away???
Talked to a lot of races that was at the fair race? The total rider count was like 64. And most of them were from people riding 2 or 3 classes. So that leaves what ? 25 humans?
Cancelling races because it may rain, or it rained on Thursday. Moving dates and locations for races when there are only 12 total races for the year. A web site that has not been updated since October...
The series HAS to do better if it wants to survive.
Maybe I will put off getting a new bike for the rest of the year.
Nick,First race was almost 60 days ago and still no points standings posted. OMA had the points posted Sunday evening after the TV Land battle race.

This post was made 4 days before the event and this is the first post I seen anywhere.
Connie and crew are the best!!!!I am going to be in Florida for the weekend. Matthew had planned on going to CTMX, but since mom and grandpa are in charge, they are going to stay closer to home and go to DMC.
I agree though, there are some things the buckeye series need to step up on. We have made a few trips north this year, and I really like riding those races.
Like I said many times before, Scott and myself can only promote the series the best we can via his social media and website. It is the track promoters that need to step up their game. I will start blasting them with emails to get the ball rolling, as this is not turning into the old southwest Ohio mx sh-t show series again, I promise you that.Exactly. Dirt Country who runs next weekend should be promoting their race last week and Treaty City should be promoting their race 2 weeks from now.
Kinda bummed with the Buckeye series so far. I made a commitment to do the series because, well, it’s what my buddies are doing too. Seemed like last seasons series went pretty well too. I know weather didn’t help the early rounds. But no promotion with any of the races so far and not much has changed from the earlier southwest series. The points thing is a little ridiculous too.
Hopefully we see some positive changes these next few weeks before I throw in the towel on the series altogether and just travel a little more instead.
Walker has been in contact with us, if some tracks don't step up their game they may be on the outside again looking in. just my two centsThere is the new track down along the river that would be a great addition and drop off another one in 2019

Hope you didn't break your arm patting yourself on the back, looks to me like the person that needs to step up their game is you. Website is never updated , points never get updated, you say you want to help the tracks with track prep but you show up to Buckeye Hills 3 days before the event expecting to get it race ready after it sat all year then blame the cancellation on circumstances beyond your control, what a joke, talk about a sh-t show.
Dont blame the results disaster on the the other tracks like you did on your FB page, I talked to someone at DMC and they emailed the results to you and Scott on July 16th, you may not opened your email till the 23rd but you had the results.
From the way it looks to me if you don't step up your game, YOU might be the one on the outside looking
