    North Carolina Practice Tracks? Were to go?

    I may be in Danville Virginia (North Carolina line) area sometime in March so looking for recommendations. Anyone been to Lake Sugar Tree or Birch Creek? Both are in Danville area, I stopped by Lake Sugar Tree and it looked pretty good. Also, NCMP is pretty close but I will head a few hours...

    Daytona / South Riding trip

    The Daytona SX and racing the Amateur is on my bucket list. Cameron and I were going to go down in 2014 but my daughter got engaged so all my vacation time and cash is going towards her wedding. Maybe next year

    OIR open Sunday the 13th

    I admit of not being able to support Dirt World this past year like I have in years past and yes a lot of this responsibility does fall on the riders but Dirt World was not really placed in a position to succeed. Look at the dates, schedule conflicts/competition, weather (which is all luck). I...

    Dirt World Race Cancelled 10-13

    Interesting, Malvern rescheduled/cancelled their GP for the same underlying reasons; too much competition and they would have lost money. Looks like I will be going to the Switchback Turkey Trot instead of the Malvern GP on November 2nd. Looks like the big guys are just trying to eat up the...

    Dirt World Race Cancelled 10-13

    I am sure this was a financial decision. Dirt World and other NE Ohio tracks are just not getting the numbers and this causes them to make these type of decisions. Because of work schedule changes I have only practiced at Dirt World a few times this year, which is well below my average, but when...

    Is this similar to your GP layout or would you recommend barkbusters? How long is a Harescramble?

    An open and candid discussion about GP Racing

    Sturd's comments are pretty accurate. 1) class structure is a non issue 2) TIMING is everything and for the exact reasons Sturd mentioned. It does seem that the numbers are improving and I hope that trend continues since I think the GP's are just what people want but they don't realize it yet...

    Messing up the flow?

    I have found that if you shift up a gear it smooths the landing out a ton. I think it has to do with the engine braking of a 4 stroke. I told a friend to shift in air or before jump and he was amazed at how much it improved the landing.

    Beans GP Round One 1/2 mx 1/2 woods

    I agree, I did a GP last year and really enjoyed it. I wanted to make a couple of the OMA GPs but they are not falling into place with my work/life schedule. There were a lot of riding options last weekend so I hope attendance improves.

    Battle Series by the numbers...

    Lots of good and somewhat different thoughts about racing and keeping Moto alive and well. I think race day is race day and practice is practice. If you want track time then its all about practice day, if you want competition (sort of) then its Race day. But I think practice days keep the...

    Battle Series by the numbers...

    Let me take this one.... please.... "Alienate the large group" guess what? Adding classes slows the day down, reduces track time for everyone, raises costs for promoters, promotes the "Everyone is a winner" bullshit mentality. Alienate the large group? your right, it alienates everyone else that...

    Battle Series by the numbers...

    Leave Vet Sport! For all the reasons previously listed and why it was originally added as a class. Plus, in a way, Red Bud Vet Fest does have a Vet Sport class, its the non points C Classes. I race at Red Bud Vet Fest because I drive 6 hours to ride an awesome track and drink all weekend with...
