2005 Proposed changes GNCC

[Pappy]

There might be a few changes for 05 that were discussed after the banquet....

Pro Riders:

new entry fee $100

maximum 4 gallon fuel tank

possible radio system between rider and 1 pit member, however the radios will be supplied by RP only

the creation of technical obstacles to enhance the fans ability to view more of the riders abilities

AM riders:

only one 2 stroke class for next season is on the agenda


Youth riders:

5 confirmed races, 8 am start time ...45 minute races


these were just some of the highlights discussed and proposed

Radios have been talked about in the past, motocross as well as the supercross bike guys have asked for radios for years. AMA decided that not everyone could afford them and second there might be frequency problems with so many riders riding at the same time.

It's a very interesting thought though, one question, why just one member of the team? Would it make sense to let everyone hear? Maybe only one guy talking to the rider would be a good idea, teams could make up their own rules.

If you gave me a radio to talk through while I was riding all you would hear would be little girl screams and someone talking to themselves the whole race. Also, the sound of someone trying like crazy to catch their breath. You could throw in in a "This is going to hurt!!!!!" every once in a while too.

You might get better race action out of me from a 1-900 number.....

"the creation of technical obstacles to enhance the fans ability to view more of the riders abilities"

??????????

you mean they might have us go through mud, ride up hills, go through deep ruts, go over rocks and logs, and ride through motocross courses? funny, thought we already did that.

just gotta get out of the parking lot if you want to see the riders abilities

Amen to this post.

To add:

Pro riders will receive demerits for crappy looking pit areas. "Get 5 your out of pro row"

Race footage DVD/VHS will be sold in a 3-race package deal. You get the first 3 races to watch instead of waiting till year end, than get another set of 3 etc etc etc to watch until you have the whole race series.

I mentioned wanting on line registration back. R/P will investigate.

102-decibel sound limit. Will be strictly enforced.

Generator noise at nighttime will be enforced.

A request to have registration open earlier was suggested.

Womens class to start independant of other classes.

Do not show up Wednesday and expect to get in the pit area. Gates open at 9:00 A.M. Friday.

Actually this in not a bad idea to pull more spectators and let any future series sponsors get a place to watch the race from besides the woods. I think they are only looking to add areas like this to tracks such as the Ironman that does not have a high speed field section or MX track nearby that a spectator could listen the PA system and still witness some technical racing.

I am all in favor of the 360 loop option lane... As long as they have a safety net..

So does that mean the 400ex fuel tanks won't work because they are 4.3 gal?

[465Stroker]

The 4 gallon rules is for PRO only.

What is this?

[465Stroker]

It is just an idea of a man made obstacle. Basically a roller coaster type loop...
