Message: [QUOTE="honda62, post: 631649, member: 29549"] The SX series is fine.plus like you said theres only Mendota and Joliet. Theres no one that has a problem with rider advancments that I know of though.Me personly im a C mid B rider and I feel the same way I understand that this is there job and every track is out to make money. But for instance take Michgan for an example. RIght off the bat there turning out sickining fast riders left and right and every one seems to agree on the 3 reasons why. 1. the schedule, they race log road one week, Dutch the next, then red budd and there will only be one and every now and then 2 othere tracks racing that same day. so that forces riders to go to a perticular track but the following week that track wont be racing. That way we dont get what we lovingly refer to a "byronites". Byron races every week and theres that group that only races there cause they know that there is a LL regional or area qualifyer and the the ponca city also. So they have a added advantage.They essentily become track masters that cant ride well at othere tracks. Ive personly seen it witha few friends that race there all the time and do good but they go to say Casey and they get smoked. plus buy dividing up the tracks they make as much or more money cause the rider turnouts will be higher. I mean red budd and dutch get on a regular basis 500-750 rider turnouts. so let do the math a track runs every othere week and they get say 500 riders and at $10 gate fee 10X500 thats $5000 But with the scedule now a track gets about 200 riders avg thats 10X200= $2000 maybe even $2500 if theres 250 riders. so at a busneuss point of veiw they could actully make more money. 2nd. this is more aimed at the tracks. YOu go to anywhere and by 3:30 4:00 your packed up and ready to leave.ANd the races are done for the day. MUddy creek, daniel boon millvill, log road, ect. Here its not run as smooth, most of the time People dont get to leave till like 5:00 6:00. immean the last 3 times I went to casey memorila weekend was the worst by far though. I dont know about you but its a 3 and a half hour drive to casey for me and they didnt start the 2nd moto TILL 5:00 PM half of the racers left and took a DNS part of this problem and nadien at LTM agreed is the tracks dont care after they got there money and after every 3-4 motos they stop and prep the track. And the only track in ILL that dosent do that is Walnut. TO get faster you need to be able to ride ruff choopy whooped out tracks. mich, tenn, WI groom the starting area twice and then prep the track only durning intermission, the only thing they do every few motos is water it real quick and that takes 15-20 min here thats more like 45min cause they disc it and everything. You ride those tracks fast then come here and it so much easier cause its nice and smooth. If anyone complains the track is to ruff they shouldnt ride. I mean Red bud get breaking and acel bumps that look like mendota's whoops. there were a few A riders from here that I was talking to at dutch last week and they said it pretty straight forward. why do you think you donts see horton or the martins up here all the time? Cause every time they come here like us we get our asses handed to us. If you can run up tere with them you can win down here. All because those tracks are ruff and to ride fast on them you have to be on the gas a have good form and get better every time you ride or you finish last, get beat to death by the track. Ruff tracks = faster riders. It may seem like im just B*tching which I feel like I am but these little things here and tere will make a big difference in the depth and upcoming of riders for years to come.It's not bad or horriable but it could be a lot better. Thank you for your time MR.Ward and actully taking the time to read this. Im looking forward to talking about this more and hearing your response. [/QUOTE]
