Pathetic turn out of lights riders.....not even enough to fill the 2 qualifier gates.

We need a onslaught of 125 riders !

This is a direct result of the location of the race and the normal conditions = Mud , along with the fact making the night show hardly pay's for entry fee's let alone some gas money.

Funny how that works. People expecting to get paid to risk life and limb.

I agree, why make the trip all the way to Seattle for a potential payout that would more than likely not even cover the cost of fuel?!?

The purse money has got to change soon. The payouts are a joke for both the lites and SX class.

In another thread someone posted the turnout for the Lites class in Seattle for the last 5 years. Each year there were less than 40 riders.

(edit, okay some years they had more than 40)
Here we go, from Derpin' DJ:

Lites Entries for Seattle over the years:

2005: 40
2006: 35
2007: 34
2008: 36
2009: 44
2010: 38
2011: 34
2012: 33
