Quad Only MX Series

[mudnuri]

Um... if you are talking about the "Quad Only" series, we have not implemented the one day series yet. It was discussed and voted on because of such low turn-out. A lot of people do not realize the expense in hosting an event. This will be changed back to a 2 day format when more quadders come out and support what has been created for us. This is a BRAND NEW thing here in Florida. Anything new is bound to need refining. I hope we get a bigger turn out next year.
As for MX, I don't know. After this thread was started I began researching Motocross here in Florida. Lot's of courses throughout  this state. More courses than rec riding areas. Seems more MXers than XCers
Happy Easter

I'm sorry I was not very clear. I was speaking of the MX series. I just think trying to run all the bikes and quads on one day limits the growth in the MX series. I thought we was talking about MX racing.
I am all for any series that promotes either MX or TT quad racing.

I agree with the quads and bikes running on the same day being a bad idea. the bikes create different lines and ruts that make it very unfun (if thats a word) for the average guy who want to try racing.  i for one do not like spending all day at the track just to get my turn and have to ride a beat to death track.

how does it cost so much money to have a race anyway? the way i see it is the track owner has to staff a few extra flaggers a medic and a few people to keep track of the gate drop and placement! big whoop! they are bank rolling off a race day. they are bringing in no less than 6 grand in a day. thats alot of cheese so whats the problem?

6 grand a day, more like 16 grand a day.

Classes sound great, how about some age classes as well, like a 16-24, 25+, then like a 35+. That way we could all run 2 classes and get to race more throughout the day. Let me know if any help is needed.

Id show up and race.....

and I think the MX track at Sand Mountain is awesome, I dont understand why no quads show up to race.

There are plenty of other tracks that are "easier"

Personally, I like that feeling you get the first time you clear a big jump you were a lil intimidated by.

[CJ321]

I would race it...

o yeah and i do and dont agree with the sound limit on bikes, yeah i think 98 is a little on the low side, why not follow national limits?? what are they like 102 or 103?? they should be enforced though, i mean who hasn't lined up next to an old tc shorty pipe thats like 2 inches long and have it hurt your ears, thats kinda a little loud for me but whatever, hope to see this quad only thing take off

Hey everyone.  Time to update and give some more information.

The meeting in Naples went good.  Everything is falling into place.  I have a meeting to get a web page up next week.  It will have the dates of the events.  Will not have all the tracts listed because I am still waiting to hear from some of them.

Good news is it looks like Waldo and Bithlo are in for sure.  Much thanks to them.

This thing is going to happen cause there is a need and yall want more seat time.  Starting to contact companies for sponsorships so we can have a good year end banquet.  Also looks like it will be a 7 race series.

More info later.
Talk this thing up and lets make it happen.
 

First Date:         SEPTEMBER 17, 2006

ok, change of wording in the classes.  All the kids classes that said limited are supost to say production.  Sorry

[WOODY_450r]

im 15,  so that means i cant race in "c" with my 450r?

if not what class can i run?

[53yfz450]

none you must be 16.

[Trend-Setter 731]

 The arguement was getting good . But I love the idea, this would be great. I'm all in with you. Will the pipe noise still be a issue? Someone let me know.      

[LostCause]

As of now the pipe issue will not be a issue.  Things are looking good.  I hope to be able to post all the dates with the tracks after this weekend.

One other note:  We are also thinking about making this a qualifier series.  The top 3-5 in each class are going to qualify to go to 1 national race against other series.  As of now it looks like the series in Alabama and in North Carolina will be part of the series.

[LE450-RACER#77]

I say we make the races go to tracks in the south east instead of just staying in FL. Thats my opinion !!!!!!!!!!  Keep us informed on what tracks are running .............

[T2]

Not everyone has your money Stevee to travel out of state , So I'd be happy to stay in Florida only for now until we see how this takes off.
