Yeah, a little quiet this year. 1st, the OMA does very little promotion at all for any of their tracks any more. Why? The battle series should be promoted by by the OMA starting in March. Posting once or twice on FB doesn't cut it. I follow all the tracks and the OMA on FB. I never see posts unless I go to the page and search. Nothing on here where people in the area are looking for info. Scott regularly posts all over FB (Not here so much) about all the race Ohio series stuff.Kind of like the last couple years, no promotion. No hype. Nada. Nothing.
Lol.....promote the crap out of it like you did when it started. That's the only difference between attendance then and attendance now. Over all, MX is up but if riders don't hear the hype, they aren't going to come.I’ll admit I have not had a lot of time. Traveling all over for Kinsey’s racing. It’s getting pretty tough to balance it all. I think this might be the swan song for the series. This would be the tenth season, maybe it’s time to retire it. I mean after all you guys aren’t happy with it, right??

Who ever said they weren't happy with the Battle series? The PA round was the only thing I heard about the series racing that wasn't positive and that's been fixed. Only other complaints have been organizational, not racing.
There you go. Perfect.For the last battle series season we will have umbrella girls, 6’ trophies, and free beer with every 3 sign ups!!
Agreed, and it started out that way. So what has changed? Marketing hasn't kept up. Props for trying different things for sure. But the last few years the marketing for the OMA has tanked. We know about it because we race it, but it's not advertised for people to see. Out of sight, out of mind. It's not a lack of riders, that's obvious by bike sales and all the other races turnouts we've been to this year.Umbrella girls. Coors Light. I am gonna be like the old Nascar days. Start and park!
No one is complaining about the series. Total opposite for me. I think the battle races should be the biggest most well attended races in the state. No additional cost like regionals. Hell most regionals don't even draw that many people from the immediate area they are in. So every rider in Ohio should want to attend the battle series. They could be the biggest races of the year in my opinion.
I'm way busier, I'd say that's the most significant change.Agreed, and it started out that way. So what has changed? Marketing hasn't kept up. Props for trying different things for sure.

Understandable. I think the world in general is, it's important to have priorities. Family is #1!I'm way busier, I'd say that's the most significant change.
