Also in my opinion the tracks have to be made safer for less skilled riders.
In my area western Finland there are still lots of tracks but amount of riders has steadily decreased. You hardly ever see any 85cc riders at the tracks anymore. I can't blame the parents because insurance fees in Finland are stupid high and are only getting higher because amount of insurance paying riders is decreasing and injury rate is increasing. Faster and heavier bikes combined with bigger jumps and supercross style obstacles hasn't done any good for the sport safety. Jumps today are twice as bigger than they where back in 90's when I started riding and stock 450's are ridiculously fast compared to bikes from that era
Our location is even besides a golf club full of rich retired people and so far we have good connections with them. Sometimes you have to give in a little. For example, they have 2 games a year, those days our track is closed to respect that event.
You will always have complainers ofcourse. But the biggest thing is having someone who knows the legal rules/laws AND having the right contacts to get agreements on paper. I know for example that there was a track that held the MXON/GP's without having the proper licences on paper. Not that they don't WANT to have these papers, but you really need someone that is a good talker and knows how much power you can have with the right knowledge

We never really had landing jumps, only few doubles and the second was always smaller and well rounded. The 2 strokes didnt chase you down and impale you as bad either.
They actually hate mountain bikers too because of trails which cause erosion and water run off.
That's one of the biggest issues they attack us here on in my state of Washington. Erosion causes water run off which causes sediments in the streams and rivers. Which kills salmon which kills the orca whales.
The track is right at the end of a military air base runway. And the guy lives 1 mile away.
In Belgium most races are held by clubs who are driven by volunteers. Problem is it’s getting harder and harder to find those volunteers. And the ones who are volunteering are mostly old retired people...
Add the fact that most riders rather bitch and whine then actually doing something to improve the races or local track... I hate to be negative , butt the way how the sport has changed here the last 10-15 years, it doesn’t look very promising.
That person can then hit the remote control on switch for vivid flashing warning lights where a flagger would normally be stationed.
It is piss easy and ridiculously cheap to set up a remote control warning light system.
The remote switches and remote controls can be bought on ebay for bugger all...cheap but highly visible flashing warning lights on Ebay also..cheap as shit solar panels that keep second hand car batteries charged to power each station...
Not setting up a warning light system at your track equates to a combination of pure ignorance and laziness..
e-bikes won't be cheap anytime soon, and i dont think the oems have a mindset to create a standardised lower operating costs class to begin with anyway.
The one positive effect i expect from e-bikes is that it opens up a lot of high populated areas where noise issues have killed of tracks.
The Netherlands have a bunch of circuits (i think 75-100), but in the areas where 70% of our population resides we have i think 2. With e-bikes i would expect that in a year or 10 we have a bunch in those areas as well, which should increase our number of riders substantially.
And those crazy Dutch, even crazier than Californians... Gas cars will be illegal to sell in Amsterdamn after 2030.
Pit Row
1. Noise Some self centred idiot buys a house near a track an then complains about the noise negating the fact the track was there before him.
2 insurance
3. The pussifacation of the younger generation, “better to stay on my iPhone or PS4 than get dirty and possibly hurt myself “
