I thought that the track was awsome myself. The folks who put the track together, and the guys that run the SSQSA are definately doing quite a good job. I talked to someone from the team, but i forgot his name and it was briefly. I brought a couple things to attention. This was my first SSQSA race this season, seeing i moved here from CT to attend MMI here in Orlando. I had some bike issues through the summer but i think she is good now. Its hard riding/racing on the college budget with bills and crap let me tell you. But besides that fact, i talked and mentioned that i heard there are a few "kids" running the big boys class. I heard number 13, on the black/black honda was only 12,13,or 14 years old riding a 450, actually a 490. Hats off to him for being able to run it, but i didn't see very much control and yea he did whoop my butt. He ended up passing me because he was knocking on my door and i felt actually threatened by him, because i felt he was alittle wild. Im not trying to start any fights here by any means. Maybe there was some in other classes idk. Like i said, im new to your community of riders.
I come from New England ATV, where back there we run the AMA rules and regulations. We have to buy AMA cards for the sanctioned tracks actually too. We are tear downs and stuff just like the ama national circuit. We are the biggest series next to the nationals, with about 300-500 riders in a weekend. We had to go to a two day event now since ive left because we would be ending when the sun goes down at night. We are talking 2-3 qualifiers for the C class, and sometimes 2 for the B class. No less than 20 riders per class.
Whoever i was talking to, it pisses me off i forgot his name, but i was talking to him about our series and stuff. He said he was adapting some of the things we do back home. I like seeing this. I also love the lower costs of the memberships and the class entry. Thats a hell of alot cheaper. Although the weekend went pretty damn well i must say, good control, kept things moving, and i liked that alot. I hope to see more from the fall/winter series. If the guys that run the SSQSA read this, i cdan get you in touch with Howard, the president of NEATV for further discussions and possible things. I believe if you guys try to bring out local shops and sponsors, it would help even more. We usually have Nacs, KandK, and a few other local shops back home selling things at the track to racers. Race fuel, goggles, tires, axles, whatever.
This series is heading in the right direction, im pretty pissed i have to miss the first one(ill be home for a few days for thanksgiving) but ill be back to run the others. Like i said, i didn't come in here trying to fight and start crap with anyone. Just trying to use alittle constructive critisism. If anyone has a problem, please reach me through a PM, i dont want to ruin a nice thread.
great track, great facility, and overall a great ass weekend and performance from almost everyone.
Thanks guys Alger #388
