Message: [QUOTE="wardy, post: 631240, member: 16710"] I will make this an easy one for you. Very simply put, District 17 is a Club Council. That means the tracks, clubs, and promoters are the boss, they vote for the rules, the rule book is very easy to understand. So if the tracks wish to only run once in a while and have "big" turn outs, thats fine, lets see which track asks for that? Riders gain experience by racing competition, they have the most tracks, most races, and levelist playing field in the country. Compare our riders with anyone, anywhere. By the way, Martin, Modjewski, are D-16 riders, not 17. Course why do they come to this district all the time? Maybe because there are alot more opportunities here? We had a vast number of riders move up in class this year, that expected for some reason to stay in B, so of course there are a few riders that are not happy with D-17 ( or me) which ever it is because of advancement. Wonder how many people would be thinking things are not run correctly if there was no advancement or a structure for that end. Been to a District lately that has no advancement, they also don't have many tracks either. How many tracks do you like to ride at, how is their quality? Think if the District "forced" riders to one track, or two that the competition between those tracks would be improved? Now tracks have to compete with each other for your business, what happens if they don't have to? Its very easy to change things, the meetings are in October, and November. Rules are made in October. Go up to the next referee at the next track you are at in D-17 and suggest they only run once in a while and ask them to propose the rules needed to that end. Be interesting to see that response. There are alot of riders out there, almost 3000 in this district that race motocross, lets not judge our whole district and its performance by the "top" riders. I see a whole bunch of riders in D-17 that are not A but are tops in my book. Lastly, we only have 2 tracks this year running SX. Joliet and Mendota. We don't run on each others nights, so why or where is SX a problem>? Motocross has at times 4 tracks running, very rarely 5 and most of the time 3, not a whole lot different then lets say 16 that has two running. Remember one thing, tracks are a business, which business's should be the ones to "cut back"? I seen in here a while ago a very cool and fitting saying, in fact it's in oldguy's signature line........ "motocross doesn't build charactor, it reveals it." Boy how many times does that one fit. no offense taken wardy [/QUOTE]
