I think the pros could ride a supercross track. That be the dream series. Quad supercross on tv!!!!
Pretty much the WPSA series. That was the best thing to happen to our sport. It branched out further than the east coast, and went up into New England, where so many racers are.
he probably has a suzuki lt250r 2 stroke race quad. made in the 80s 90s, just like a honda 250r or a tecote 250r, a fast liquid cooled 2 stroke sport quad. the honda is a 6 speed too
or it could be hybrid:huh
but then i just dont understand why...:eek2:
The WPSA was a great step for quad racing and was taking the sport in the right direction. There where alot of new sponsors that stepped into the series and alot of fans that showed up at the races.Quote:

1. TV Coverage - with it comes the sponsors the sport needs and more exposure to fans and future racers
2. New ways to get amateurs involved with the nationals.
3. More Contingency for Am's
4. I would love to do FMX demo's at races. Maybe it could help bring in more spectators. If not FMX, something else needs to be done at the races to bring in more fans. Concerts, activities, factory dealer demos, something....
5. A supercross series would be great, but filling a stadium to watch quad races would be hard at this point in the sport. When ATV motocross gets the exposure and coverage it needs then it could move to a stadium series on it own. Until that happens if any stadium series where to form it would prolly have to be with something else that draws a huge crowd like monster trucks unfortunately. There is no way the quads could go on the SX tracks the bikes do. Only way you could utilize the SX stuff would maybe try to schedule a few rounds to alter the tracks after the bikes race and have a race the next day or weekend.
Back to the WPSA days I think we all forget that they had the 4X4's in action. Now that is something that more people can compare to in the real world. We ran a few WPSA's races and yes it seemed like there where more people at the fence for the 4x4 stuff than the 450 stuff. It also opened the door for more manufactures to get involved. Factory Arctic Cat trucks and Can-Am where involved. That might be a way to fill more seats, and get more aftermarket stuff to the table. It was fun to watch that is for sure.
the 4x4 and sxs racing where great parts of the WPSA series
I'd go back to old days when you had to run TT and MX to win a national championship. Plus, I'd spread out the races so they're not located out east.
Those days where great, but in order to win a national championship you needed to spend more money to have two set ups for one machine or have an mx and TT bike.
In this economy any extra $$ signs you throw out there scares people off quick.
In the current state of the economy the only way to get ATV MX racing to grow is to do the same thing the bikes have been doing for years. Have Regional and Area qualifiers. Turn the Loretta Lynn race into a 4 day event and run 3 moto formats. The travel expenses are killing the national series. Rich kids keep winning cause they can get to the races. Well not all the Rich kids win....but if you pay attention most of the kids that travel the series and win C and then B run out of money by the time they get to A class lol and just can't run the entire series.
Run qualifiers, you could take each national race and make it a qualifier so not much would have to change.
TV coverage will never come into play as long as we only have 13-15 pros on the gate. So they need to give the top 10 in pro-am production a pro license each year. Much more appealing to sponsors and helps to clear out the pro-am class from year to year.
So I guess to answer the question, my dream series would be one that is similar to what we have but has qualifiers and allow quad racers to stop having to travel the country so we can support our local series' some.
