Re: YEM topic Offical Race Sweepers

Great idea !!!!, Will really help the promoter, the officers and the racers. As a promoter my problem is everyone I know that rides a motorcycle and has half a clue how to get around the track is racing, If we has seasoned riders sweeping they know how to get out of the racers way, know not to race ...

Re: YEM topic Gate Fee keep same or increase?

I think $10 is not asking too much, It will allow the promoter to have a little more free money to invest in his race. If the promoter makes a little money they are more excited for the next year and will give you a better race. We pay $5 at the gate to go race, but most places I know charge $20 to ...

Re: from Crossroads Hare Scramble

Thank you Gould family, GREAT RACE !!! we all had a blast. Some of the best battles of the year. Race went off great. And I too have always been shocked and thankful for everyone picking up their own trash and mess, it sure does make it easier for the promoter, Great group of racers

Re: Input & meeting info for members

I like the idea of every rider must become a member, Now I do feel $80 is way too high. Any other series you go ride makes you pay a membership fee, except Danny, but Danny is structured a lot different than the Arkansas series and others. The series too has to cover expenses during the year, and ye...

Re: Input & meeting info for members

Thanks for thinking of us Preston,and you are right, as a promoter we cant exist with out all you racers. It takes all of us to pull an event off. I see the riders side that cant make a Saturday practice, I really do. I see it more for the lower class riders ( C,D and schoolboy, not low class riders...

Re: Proposal on Pee Wee Race Start Time in 2015 Season

I have to say, I was the one that suggested this change, and I too do not own a peewee, I have 15 year old B open rider that at time has peewee thinking moments hahaha, I really do love seeing these little guys ride, and yes, make a circle track in field and they will ride it all day. But if I am re...

Re: Input & meeting info for members

As a promoter I am for it. Some of our promoters struggle to break even on their race. Saturday practice give them a chance to re-coop some of their expenses. I swear I am not fussing, but it takes a few thousands to put a race on. Depending on what the promoter chooses to do. We have to buy trophie...

Re: The Best Hare Scramble Race Bike for 2015?

We are kind of the odd balls on Hondas, Last year Noah was the only one in his class at several races that wasn't on orange. We have had great service out of Honda, I have 4 ranging form an 05 up to a 2014. They are tough bikes, We do adjust valves around every 20 hours, change engine oil, filter an...

Re: Input & meeting info for members

I am like Gary, I see both sides. I do think the AP is a great tool, and should continue to use it, but not as the only tool for advancement. I too have seen riders moved that were being beat off the podium, ( this discourages riders of all ages, They feel I cant get on the podium in B and now I hav...

Re: Proposal on Pee Wee Race Start Time in 2015 Season

We ran into the same deal at the race we had a few weeks ago. I had a separate track for peewees but only had 2 show up, So we put them in with the kids moto yet still scored them as peewee. They did great, Had 1 sweep rider in mid pack, and 2 following the little guys. I has one spot that I was wor...

Re: Input & meeting info for members

I agree the AP is a great tool, and is needed, and does help in advancement, But I feel it alone should not set the standard for advancement. The AP is not a 100% fool proof system. I do feel the advancement placement needs to be tweaked, not real sure how to do that but it does not need to run off ...

Sounds a lot like mine. Did a valve adjustment, It did crank but ran like the main jet was plugged up. After chasing and replacing EVERYTHING, it was a bad stator.
