When you say, "DuQuoin"...
I think. Flat-Track!
I know, I know...
I'm old.
I think Gary Bettenhausen an USAC champ cars.
Good luck with your race.
That's alright, I'm just as old because that is what I thought at first too.
This will be anything but a "flat-track" though.......hate to disappoint RV's grandpa.
This is the first time for this event but RPM does a great job with their races so it should be fun.
How did that go?
$60 per class?
Yet another cash grab.
As far as the pricing goes, everything costs more now......nobody is happy about it.
I'm not sure what else you can say about that.
hahah. No I'll be there. 1 class. I'm old as shit. We'll see what the lil bike can do. I'm not shutting the throttle off all day.
I notice now they are calling it a "park use/ camping" fee. So I'd expect to pay that even if using a hotel.
Pit Row
That's the fun of those RM smokers, twist it all the way and have a blast.
God I LOVE that kid ! ! !
If it isn't for you that's cool.
I'm sure there are good local races going on everywhere.
For the general thread comments:
Unfortunately everything cost more to do now, especially if you don't own the track where the race is.
When you own the property you can set whatever prices you want for camping etc...figuring costs/ upkeep of course.
Putting on bigger events has associated bigger costs.....again everything costs more now than it used to.
Price out a couple thousand gallons of diesel fuel and then realize that in a month it's probably going to increase by 4-5%.
Now I know that means every person racing has more expenses as well but that shouldn't stop people from trying to grow the sport with new events.
I remember them telling me,"You motocrosss kids are such PUSSIES! Gawd! Why do you ALWAYS slow down like a girl when you go thru a flat turn?"
Then they'd set-up some barrels and just RIP around them on YZ465s...then, make me get out there on my 125, Put a "Double-Leader front brake" on ALL my bikes. Taught me how to OWN the 1st turn at Saddleback and beat the hell out the Team Green riders down there...on my YAMAHA!
Really, Really...good times.
Damn.
Makes me really miss Steve.
