I love racing at sand moutnain but there are some things that have gone on that concerns me. First off is the beginner class, you had 11 - 12 bikes on the track last weekend. Personally that was too many on the track at one time and half the guys paid $30 to ride the track in practice and race for 5 laps. Thats a rip off some of them guys travel and hour or better to race and thats what they get come on now. THe other thing is tha youth class. There is a kid riding a Raptor 660 and in the rules it say 400CC and less and i emailed them and they said they would take care of the racer. Well they did for one week and then he was racing again last weekend and it was brought to there attention and they said they did not want to have to deal with i that the kids dad did alot for the track. Well guess what rules are rules and they shouldnt be lifted for one kid if thats the case i will send my kid out there on a 450 R and lets see what happens. Its not far to the other kids reguardless of who they are there are rules for a reason so why cant you abide by them?

First off yeah rules are rules. But one thing that you don't know is the stipulations surrounding those rules. That kid your talking about parents got w/ the staff at SandMountain they came to an agreement that the kid would race and not have any points entered toward the series. That kid is still coming in last even on the 660. He has no other bike as of yet and just likes to get out and race. He's not awarded any points from what I understand. So yes, I do stand behind SandMountain on this b/c there is NO disadvantage for the other kids. HE'S COMING IN DEAD LAST FOR GODS SAKE. As far as the paying fee to race... From what I understand it's the same fee to ride or race. So what are they getting ripped off on? What other place can you go to and pay $30 to ride 2 MX tracks, race TT, do tremendous hill climbs, and ride trails? And hey, did I mention the Sand Drags? That is the best happening place for us as ATVers and it's the HardRock of Polk County. Keep up the good work SM. I love you guys  . |

Well I am the person you can speak to about my son racing on a 660 Raptor. And if you would like to know just ask. My son is there to ride not to race. I asked SM to let him ride and either give him no points or last place points for your info. SM does not bend the rules.They are there for all of us to have a place to ride and have fun. By the way I spoke with Mads about this already. His brother is in the same class and was the one that was having to ride a Raptor 350 because his bike was broke. I could understand you or someone else being upset about this IF my son was running in the top 5 or better yet even finishing better than last. You dont have to worry about him riding a 660 anymore because he now has a 400. Its not like we are out there racing for money or anything. My son has yet to bring home a trophy from SM this season. If you would like to voice your concerns to me in person come over and lets talk I am usually parked by the staging area with a burgandy Suburban and white trailer.

What's up yall, well I think we are really blowing this way to far out, JUST let the kids race, they are only kids and we are the adults here. I am sure they are not taking your trophy in the powder puff class. It's not a issue because we will all go buy our kids z400 and let them come in 1st and then see what "they" have to say!!! Why can't we all just get along! GOOD JOB SM!!!! |

Thats fine but what are the other kids that race thinking. It should have been announced at the drives meeting. I have no problem if a kid wants to get out there and ride it does us all some good but if that what is going on they need to announce it so that problems dont happen like this. And as far as the open beginner class i just think they should do it how they did it last year.

Well it looks like another one of them things like umm YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!! I think that SM should not let anyone run in the vet class until I can race again because they will be getting free points & thats not fair.

If anyone has anything to say inreferance to my reply to Z400chic please feel free to PM me. I do not want to get anything started about Sand Mountain. This place has come along ways and I don't want anyone thinking bad of them. Sand Mountian has done alot for all of us. They have worked their A.. 's off building a place for families to come and have fun. They are great people and always listen to all of us. They go out of their way to make this place fun. Just think on Sundays when we all come out to ride they are all having to work to give us a place to ride.
Steve I hope you get some good news on Thursday.
Mads, I dont blame you at all for any of this. no hard feeling here.
Wayne

I think what is tring to be said about the beginner class is that people would like to try to go out there and race for more then 5 laps. I think they should look into the way they did it last year where they take the top 4 or 5 out of each heat or if there is more then 2 heat only take the top 3 or so//// about the youth class I think it was not understood from the get go by everyone in that class that your son was not getting points now that everything is squared away lets go racing |

The beg. class has grown alot. I do not think we ever had that many peeps in that class last season. I think maybe 18-19 last year. Which made it interesting.I think SM is tring to get the races done as fast as they can so that the others that do not race can have a chance to ride the TT track and so they can get all the points and trophies ready for those how place and get one. I am sure if we all get together at the drivers meeting and talk about this we can come up with something that will work. I know what ever is decided will not please everyone but we need to try what the majority votes on. I personally think the way we used to do it with 3 motos worked great. But when we have a weekend like we did a few races ago if we ran that format We would have never finished all the races before dark. We would have had to run 3 motos in beg,vet, and expert. that would have taken a while.

Well sorry if i offended you wayne but like fastltz said i was all misundertood from the start. i have problem with your boy riding but alt of people thought he was racing for points and thats what i had thought too. I just want evryoe to have fun and it to be fair. So hopefully you see my point of view on this. And with the beg class i think we need to talk to sm about it b/c i like the 3 moto deal like we did last year. I dunno maybe we could start racing earlier in the day on sundays. i didnt want to be the bad guy and sorry just didnt seem right to me but now things are squared with the youth class. see yall at the race.
