Your characterization of DC is at odds with anything and everything his whole family has done for moto, and all the risks they have assumed over the years. And I'm guessing most wouldn't have assumed those risks. And the risk continues.
"The lack of Stella at the races"
That's unforgivable and I'm with you 100%
Ive watched gp's for as long as I can remember, the series has clout, it's a damn good show, it looks good, it's got a far reach, it goes to a lot of places and has riders from all over the world riding for factory and factory supported teams. That's what a World Series should do. Could it be better for privateers? Yes, but so could MOTOGP. I'm sure some can see this.
And no I'm not Geoff, this has always been my view.
The Shop
He's saying he doesn't make money mowing the grass, pushing bikes out of the mud and running a tractor.
I'm not sure anyone thinks he would make money on those things, but if the track is profitable from the entire weekend that would translate into a profitable series for the future. I'm certainly not against DC making millions, I'm a business man also.
I have realized the riders are to dumb to ever make money from the 20th place thru 50th
The riders are split between more classes leading to a field which is less deep.
Young privateer/amateur riders are forced travel to more races because it is a point series not an individual race championship costing more money.
Manufacturers sandbag the lower class by keeping kids down. Did anyone pay attention to roadracing around 04-05? The manufacturers only contested the classes they knew they could win. Suzuki superbike, yamaha supersport, kawasaki superstock, and honda formula extreme. It would be the same way in moto.
Amateurs still dont race locally because they want to be healthy for the outdoor amateur series.

Where's the STELLA?!
So you don't make any profit from moto? The mag and website has to fund your moto interests? You lose money being affiliated with the running of the outdoors?
What's our PAY OUT versus the GPs? - Money / GP . . . .
How many PRIVATEERS RACING OUT OF THEIR VAN are there at the GPs? - one for sure
How many Weston Peicks in the GPs? - one for sure
How many "Support" or REAL "Privateer Teams" in the GPs? - one for sure
The "one for sure" won Lommel yesterday, If he makes the top ten at Unadilla he'll make more money !
(than he did at Lommel)

Question is though, who is Luongo's nemesis at Feld? I see SX series and GP series as money making ventures where big profits go to the owners - this is good and bad, not the debate here. Luongo is the guy behind MXGP and the unpopular guy who looks good with devil horns on his head. Who is running the show at Feld and why is he/she not in the public eye?
There have been numerous winners this year in both classes, high drama, 7 different brands racing, and an amazing variety of terrain. The speed over some of that ground is amazing.
The product seems pretty great right now for the fan.
The real difference is single day format vs multi day format not gate size of the pros.
You know how we like underdogs, and how just about any pro who wants to try to make the show for the 40-rider gate can give it a shot?

Some of you guys complaining , how about this and that , grow a set and meet up with Davey and voice your concerns? I know damn well he'd listen to them , and if it's a great idea , who knows maybe it'll work out. If it's a crappy idea , I'm sure he'll tell you why it won't work.
And to Davey himself , brother I hope you keep doin' what you're doin'! I don't care how much money you make from doing everything you do , whether it's a $1,000.00 or a million...all I care about is if the riders get taken care of the best way possible and I get to watch my damn moto's Saturday night after I get back from roostin'.....I couldn't care less.
And the GP series had a god damn privateer take the OA at possibly the worlds hardest track this weekend....
Haters on promoters for me is dumb, think you can do better? It's all right there, go take it, hell there's even a dedicated and switched on fan base that's accessible immediately via the web....was it the same when the two largest promoters of mx started? No. Yet here they are, successful and helping the sport, and some of you shitbags think you are owed.....
DC, keep doing what you're doing.
You too Luongo.
