What  about  on  site  camping  for  us  that  have  long  drives ?  It  would  be  nice  to  come  up  on  saturday  and  camp  so  we  dont  have  to  get  up  at  5 am  and  drive , stay  till  5:30  and  drive  home  beat.  And  what  about  riding  the  back  area  on  saturday ?  That  would  be  cool !

just my opinion you guys are hurting yourself bad  by not opening on sat.   atleast  the sat before a  race  alot of guys who take racing serious and  have a love for it  come out to test and tune ...especialy the open expert guys cause of the money class  if you cant open on sat i would say open a couple times during the week.Like bartow the make a killing on sat  they have 2 days i say open on sat just shut practice down  a few hours  early  to smooth the track back out   who cares what the mx  or the other tracks look like come sunday.unless your racing the mx track sunday just shut the tt track down a little early sat and  groom it  i think alot  of people (especialy next season)would like to come out on sat to test and tuen there bikes i dont know just  my 2 cents

[YAMAHONDAMAN]

I Agree With atvaltz and Quad32x !!  

[RTR_380/450R]

I agree as well.  Alot of the reasons for keeping a bike together and running longer is the ability to test and tune before race day!  As everybody knows, that has been a huge problem for me this year!  Open it for a short period on Saturdays or throughout the week! When you guys get lights then you can open on weekday nights and make some pretty good coin!  just my .0000000000000000000002 cents!

[redrider]

hey i heard yall will start racing on the mx track in the fall are u gonna have the same classes like u do on the tt track?

[LE450-RACER#77]

Hey I agree with everyone else. I also think the track should be open on Saturday. Atleast the Saturday before the race. Me personally I love coming down on the Saturday before the race so that I can learn a few new tricks for Sunday. Shoot if you don't think it works just look at where I have been placing & then look at last Sunday's results. 1st, 1st, & then 2nd behind Thacker.  NOT BAD FOR ONLY RACING 5 TIMES ON THE TRACK !!!!!!!!!  My opinion anyway.

If you don't want everyone on the track on Saturday just the people that race on Sunday have a practice day before the race.

Bartow had 8 riders there Saturday we had about 25 or 30 we only have races 2 times a month the track is open for pactice the other 2 Sundays is that not enough time. Let me know. we need more than 20 people out there to even start the equipment up much less the food and the flagers it takes more people to run the track than what shows up for pactice.
THE NEW POINTS ARE NOW POSTED ON THE WEB SITE Thanks for your input

[atvaltz]

lol  if bartow only  had 8 riders sat its  a new record i have never been there on sat  and saw less than  20 riders

ok here is  what i think sandmountain needs to change or inprove on for next season if you guys want to attract  and keep riders


1-Get a rubber band  i mean i set there and realy watched  the 3 open class starts and yes mr brandon thacker jumps everyone by atleast a bike length on the start that is not very fair he does it alot(yes you brandon) i got videos  of him doing it alot worse  than 1 bike  not only him but severel riders
i would be willing to pitch in to buy a rubber band so its fair again

2-change the format of like the beginner if there are 15 16 riders instead of doing a 2 moto race then a final moto  do like supercross  split it up into 2 heats   top  2 or 3 out of each heat goes onto main and run a lcq  alot less wear  on the bikes  i am saying this cause open expert next season will have about 15 or 16 people i can count racing in it ...so i dont think a single guy in it isnt running a built motor and  running 3 hard motos  a day is hard on a built motor i mean if you have to run lcq then u should have rode better ,etc it would be your fault as it is now you got to run   3 moto's  hard


these are just opinions  dont take them as i am trying to tell you guys what to do thats not it at all.I am just tryin to make sandmountain a place were  most of the fastest guys in florida run  it has came soooooooooooooo far  and i think you guys can do a few mor ethings and make it a magnet for  riders

Well I am a taker I agree with ever thing you said and I never liked the 3 moto deal Thanks for your time

[1fastltr450]

I dont think there needs to be a bubber band I think there needs to be a light. just my .02 cents. but on the other hand there is aalways room for improvement I feel the money I spend down there has been put to use because there is always something new done every time I go down there . so I also have toi say thank you for a great place to race and lets get that sand drag going

[TBR_Honda]

Brandon, bring them videos please. I video every race and I just went back and double and triple checked the starts. Even the one he and Carl took off on Dale's hand was coming down. So come on and show me the videos please. I do agree that a rubber band or gates would be better for the starts but just because that quad is coming out of the hole good don't accuse him of cheating. That is not very nice of you!!!

Dale

[RTR_380/450R]

Dale,
Brother man! I aint saying its every time, but he does jump the flag a little! I do it to (which is what Brandon meant by "other people to") so I really cant say nothing! But if you remember, we had a restart after he jumped! So go back and look at all your videos, Im sure you'll see what everyone is talking about, and Im sure you'll see me doing it too!! Why do you think that I always get a good Holeshot even when Im on slower bikes than everyone else.
I dont care myself, im just saying that Brandon is not trying to be mean hes just being truthful!  The way I look at it is "IF YOU DONT LIKE IT STAY YOUR WEAK AZZ IN THE BEGINNER CLASS"

HOW YA LIKE ME NOW BRANDON!!!??  [smiley=box.gif]

[atvaltz]

man jason why u got to  be sooo harsh   see i was gonna let you test the polonda  motor  when i get it from this guy  but man  i dont know after this abuse lol just messin man....dale bro lol like jason said they did a restart he jumped, its all god cause everyone does it i mena last time i ran out there i said to myself alright i am gonna jump on these guys  ...... but  when i get to the line i just cant  beacause it just seems weird  i am used to a gate start  or a start were  everyone   is released at the same time ,,,,,

was not pointed directly toward you guys  dale

geesh i guess everyone got crabby  since i last time i got on here lol  just bustin yall up

[Sandmountainspeedway.com]

So it sounds to me like that the time the flagers hand starts to drop some racers take off is that why the light is an advantage. If this is the case i will look at the lights we have and see if we can get them going by next season. Maybe some people think you should take off when the flag is all the way down and others take of on the movement of the flag. I print all of your ideas and let Dale know so this is all good.

   Everyone is chiming in on the starting issue so here is my thought...dade City flat track uses a traffic light to start their events and it really works because the light is either green or it is red and you can't predict when it will change. In the last several months I have only seen twice where someone jumped the start. The penalty is that rider then has to start at the rear for the restart.
  And one other thing...many of us are really tired of the long haul to Umatilla, please open Sand Drags!!!

The sand drag is next we opened the MX track way to soon we would like for everything to be ready before we open. We have a several traffic lights but we were not ready to put them up yet. I guess we are now. Thanks  

[1fastltr450]

thanks for looking at the suggestions we give you guys at sand mountain. it is nice of all of you to listen  and improve on suggestions

[LE450-RACER#77]

STOP SUCKING UP SLOWLTZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YES YOU GUY'S ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

ARE YA'LL PASSING OUT ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARDS AT THE BANQUET ?

[Sandmountainspeedway.com]

I will have to ask about that

[RTR_380/450R]

Do I qualify for Rookie of the Year since this series is the first time ive ridden or raced in 16 yrs?? [smiley=dunno.gif]

[atvaltz]

hey i am a rookie i have only been racing for about 10 months  


the light idea  isnt gonna solve anything u can still jump  a light unless you got it like  drag racing were u can redlight but since you  got so many guys that wont happen rubbe rband is better the pro's  use rubber band start for tt  it make's  it fair  for all riders.the light will still have people jumping i promise ya

[LE450-RACER#77]

People don't usually jump on a light system because you never know when it is going to turn. If they do jump you will really see it.
