Bring back the KJSC!!
That way there could be some other good racing going on. That was an awesome program!
That would have been good for this year since RV wrapped up the title already in this years Survivor-cross Series....
Anyhow, just an and idea.

Like that idea newmann!

Think about it this way, the craigslist prices for 2 strokes would go up and that would mean less finds for restorations
And I already have plenty of restoration projects lined up so I have purposely not been buying anything else. Resto projects have already gotten a good bit out of whack from a price standpoint. Some of it has even gone bizarro crazy pricewise...

let me start the ball rolling here
"Even if we are missing the Woman's race from this event, you would think there was time, but ..... "
1. Highpoint is a really long track so those 2 extra laps at the end just mean it's not possible,
2. It would not be fair to the Manufacturers who have already increased the size of their race teams for the 6 round WMx Event,
3, If we did that and it kicked ass and everyone loved it, It wouid really create problems.. ( Oops I said that out loud, Sorry ).
Not my best writing, I am sure their are better ones out there.

And to stay on topic i would love to see the KJSC! I did anaheim 1 in 2001! I had blake bagget and nick paluzzi (along with some other top ams) it was a great experience. Sadly if i remember right the reason for it ending was how much feld was charging per round to do it... I could be wrong though.
Nick Paluzzi 45
Eli Tomac 17
Daniel Blair (I believe the very first winner) 125
Blake Baggett 12
Mike Alessi ???? 800
Killy Rusk 84
Who else?
I don't think the 85 Super Mini would be a great idea because there is serious risk of injury on a Supercross track and although the KTM 50 is a powerful machine most of the kids are still just kids and happy to be there and wouldn't be pushing themselves hard enough to sustain a major injury in the event of a crash.
I can't think of one accident off the top of my head that caused any real injury during the KJSC...put Superminis out there and there will be a new one each week.
The KJSC was great. I loved it when I first saw it in 97 and was so happy that my son got selected in 2006 and had the opportunity to participate, even though the main event got rained out. It was the best $5,000 I've ever spent because the memories are priceless.
Supercross pretty much sucks ass these days. No Semis is one thing, the daytime quals being gone.....I pretty much hate going...but I just can't force myself to skip it. I can't wait until the day comes when I no longer give a fuck about Supercross because there is nothing Super about it anymore.
They began saying no doubles after one kid did it at Anaheim
The $5,000 came from round trip business class airfare for 3 from Atlanta to Seattle, rental car, 4 nights at teh Red Lion on Fifth Avenue and then just random spending. I can't remember how much we had to pay the KJSC folks, but it was only $250 or less for the experience and he walked away with new riding gear a new helmet, and memories that will last forever.
It was amazing. I let my son's mother be the "Mechanic" for it and it tickled her pink! Here is a Slideshow that I made for it. I tried to include every kid in it and it rained out the main so I only had limited things to work with.
My son was #13
