The turn out what turn out may be one or two hundred that paid for the day. The announcers could only see about ½ of the track and were boring.

I dont know, but isnt it a possibility that most riders are from the eastern side of the country and dont want to make the run over to California because of the time needed off of work and the distance to drive? And the vendors are the same way?

NO! We have no reason to travel 3000 miles to race the 2nd rated ATVA circiut.
Most all are going WPSA thus being forced to drive to Cali is not required now. I say forced because anyone going for points needs to be at the races, especially the beginning of the season.
The vendors were chased away with unreasonable charges for the right to vend.

I have a question for all you bench racers. :)
Greg Gee raced pro last year. This year he's racing pro-am (which is fine) but he's also racing 16-24. I thought that would be a no-no??
Nothing against Mr.Gee, he's a good guy.

Yeah my friend Ryan Sindt of Sindt Motors sold him that stuff. Actually from what Ryan told me, Chad told him that Honda gave him a $10k credit on Honda parts. I highly doubt Chad will go back to a Yammy. I think he should stay on the Black#44 for now. I have a feeling Chad is going to be in the top 3 in the end.....

Ride on peeps...........

Some of ya'll people talk to much about people's personal lives.

Let's just wish all the Pro's good luck. And we'll see what happens at the end of the year.

LT80 I due agree with you that it is second rate run operation. The bleacher were may be 1/2 full more like 1/3, last year they were 3/4 to full. This is the National Champion and they should travel across the nation. There should be a race up in the North West and in the Rocky Mountains area too. Then it would be a National Champion not a East Coast Champion

Hey everyone this weekend was full of ups and downs let me tell ya but that second moto I had the ground wire to the coil break off that second moto. Engine was running great try not to jump to conclusion that when a bike stops that the engine has failed that wasn't the case. Well just want to say thanks to all my fans and sponsors and the people who helped swap the engine 20 minutes before the second moto! Couldn't so it without you guys, I will be stepping it up! Determined to be on the top! Thanks again everybody.

I was poking fun with my motor comment at the guys getting all excited about engine builders. Good job last weekend. You and Tony Stewart had the same luck it looks like.

Great job to everyone racing hope to see everyone soon at the WPSA races
