I will try to keep this short and simple. My son worked for TLC racing. He would often order parts, tires, ect. through TLC and they would deduct them from his pay. Two items, a rear shock and a head were given to him by TLC with no terms. They were items that they deemed inferior for their...

True. That is because AMA is the Father of all other organizations. Do you feel bad for AMA? Don't they would turn on you in an instant. No different than politics. OK, I am done. Bringing up too many bad feelings here which I have tried to put behind me so I can still enjoy going to the...

We are only looking out for you. I would not like you to lose your butt over a butt head. The guys are right, there are other ways to give this guy the hard time he deserves. Yes, according to the rule book the promoter and referee has the last word so look for ways to disqualify instead.

No we had an attorney and a very good one. When they seized our bike we were given a receipt in the amount of 5,000.00 for our bike. This did no good. Like I said, even when AMA was threatened by the District Attorney for basically stealing our bike, they disregarded it. It isn't that they...

Right, they can be asked to leave if they are disruptive but probably not barred from further attendance. AMA uses their right to revoke membership or license as leverage. I will briefly explain what happened to us. Our bike was confiscated by AMA out of winners circle over sponsorship dispute...

Again, be careful. AMA rule book is not a be all and end all in regards to legalities. We had quite the run in with AMA years ago. What they did was illegal as hell but we found we did not have enough money to fight them. We ended up losing our bike (dirt tracking) in the end or at least most of...

I see someone else thought the same thing.

I hear what you are saying and I am sure everyone would agree he should be barred but do be careful. Make certain you have the legal right to do so or you may end up in a law suit.

Really? I can hardly believe he would want to show his face at the track after that. No shame!!

I don't post much on here unless I feel moved to do so but this story nearly brought me to tears. I am so relieved to hear that he was apprehended. Even in our pit area things at times get a little heated but they are all adults and can at least fend for themselves but children should never be...

Sounds as if you are expecting the track to provide an awful lot of flaggers.

That isn't a horrible pay day...better than McDonalds and certainly more rewarding. I did not mean to imply that they should be paid according to turn out but if you are promoting a big event other than a normal race day they should expect to be paid a little more than normal. Sounds as if you...

You are right it shouldn't be just about the money. My point is if you want to create a regular crew then the pay should be fair. I am sure all of you have had bad experiences at let's say McDonalds. You received better service when it was teenagers and they were eager to have a job. Now it is...

Question....just what do flaggers earn? As a business owner I know good help is hard to find. That being said it is a pretty horrible job to have to stand there out in the sun all day....I wouldn't do it... but the safety of the riders is at stake here. I understand that for most of the local...

So it looks like there maybe qualifying heats, correct?

I am not sure I understand why there are two sanctioning bodies involved in this particular race. Can someone explain this.

I have a question that does not pertain to the roster. In regards to hook-up. Is it just electric or is there water. Last year we did not come in the motorhome and just parked alongside the track so don't know the program for motorhomes.

Larry agrees with John 250.

Now, compare that to what a ball player makes and although it is difficult to break into the field of PRO in any sport the chances are far greater for a ball player than a MX rider and is it any less dangerous or demanding?

Heard today that the Farmers Almanac predicts record heat and rain for the summer. It is not global warming, it is now called climate change.
