How about any race series that is televised?! The WPSA was great and something like that needs to start up again, but not compete with the nationals. They need FULL support from the racers, factories, and fans for anything to succeed, I believe that is why so many pros ran the WPSA. Bottom line the factories need to step up instead of back out!
They need to follow the lines of the WPSA with the utility racing to bring in a larger fan base and expose them to the excitement of atv motocross. I am sure alot of guys who ride utilities watch bike races on tv, they just need to get the exposure.
But in my opinion even the bikes have a long way to go. 1 hour to showcase a pro outdoor nationals with commercials, just does not cut it. I would like to see a nascar style event with pre-race reports, rider interviews, ect. And how about showing the whole first moto instead of high-lights? The one hour format for supercross seems to work okay, but they are shorting the outdoor series. Plus the longer it runs the more advertising $$ can be brought in, thus the growth continues.
I dont think you are giving the pros enough credit. If they were to be able to race sx then they would all start practicing sx and eventually figure everything out.Quote:

I think we need a pro, and pro lites supercross series, if the tracks are as wide as the bikes, we could adapt. The quads can ride pretty much the same tracks as the bikes, we ride with a pro supercross bike team, and can do 99% of the jumps, and have set up our quad for the whoops and tighter turns, just like they do. I think if we are going to go main stream, we have to get the average guy involved, and put on a good show and the rest will follow. There would have to be a large advertising campaign, not like the ama puts a 2x2 sign by the track, but like the bikes do, real event info available to the public for at least 2 weeks prior to the events. To go way back, the mickey thompson series was successful, with a lot of the right ideas about how to get the crouds to come. Also the montreal supercross they have bikes, quads, and sxs, which has been very successful.
if you had a regional how far would you drive? how far is to far for a regional?
5-6 hrs
Lol 5-6 hours is nothing. I drive at least 5-8 for all my races and it is just a local series
We average 15-17 to alot of ours ..:ermm:Quote:

The only one close is 8 hours .
TV time is EXPENSIVE . Id love to see our sport on a good channel ,not on some channel thats a "part time " channel that one knows about or cant view . IT would be nice to see someone with a FAT wallet throw our sport into a channel thats gets good views.. dont know if we will ever it that happen though .:(
Ive seen some prety cheesy stuff on Speed,just cant figure out why we cant have a stab at it .:ermm:
if it was a good series with a virety of classes including hybrid... i would say 5-8
thats what i was thinkin, i still think they would need there own track and own series or it wouldnt workQuote:

they could still make it a great track tho, just designed for quads. one thing quads can do that bikes cant is powerslides. if they had a huge nascar like turn in every sx race that would be sweet to watch. and they can still have big jumps, just move them out farther from the turns.
