2-3 of my own classes one after another and promoters who insist its my own problem.

Tracks without flaggers on a raceday.

Bench racers who have probably never actually raced.

The list goes on...

1. Black boots (they look terrible, every time)
2. Elbows down
3. People that try too hard to scrub
4. Shark helmets
6. Low cluth/fb levers
7. Untucked jerseys
8. People that smoke in between motos: you suck at life
9. Carmichael's 'low bars'
10. When people call whoops 'rockers'
11. Low visors
12. Low goggle straps
13. When people take their helmet and goggles off at the same time, then leave the goggles on the helmet
14. People that aren't sponsored by FMF, but put FMF stickers over the Ford emblem on their truck. Yes, they're the same size. We can see that.

15. When people refer to RC as the GOAT: STFU

#13 Drives me bonkers...
I also have a Polaris RZR and when out with ATV riders this must be a right of passage because they ALL do it! I try to explain that it makes them look like a squid but I may as well be telling them how to split Atoms.... All I get is a deep emotionless stare.

BTW STFU NOOB!

Four strokes constantly on the rev limiter. And BITD, one of our local fast guys in the open A class would come to the starting line with a cig, puffin'away, all nervous looking.What kind of drugs you into? Dizzy

Just the general sound of 4 strokes at the practice track. Reeds bike at Super X in OZ sounded great (there are exceptions) but its so good to hear a 2 stroke out there.

People that spend endless amounts of money on their bike to go faster when they are too lazy to train! (These same bikes usually blow up every week too)

Spectators that dont watch the races! Idiots!

ok, i've got a few from the other side of the sign up booth:

riders who show up every week with the numbers 4, 14, or 3 .... knowing everybody else runs those numbers and we will have a duplicate number problem.

riders who always sign up after sign up is closed. this slows down the prep process between sign up and establishing the race order.

the mini dad who signs up, then wants a refund because the pee wee's bike broke, then repeats this process about 3 times before practice is over.

mini parents who scrunch their nose up on your class offerings (we only had 15 mini classes) because they want little johnny in a class by himself for a guarenteed win.

the rider who ignores the red flag when his practice session is over and keeps on riding

the grandma who bitches you out loudly in front of everyone because her grandson was scored 24th and he really got 21st.

the rider who changes bikes between motos because of a mechanical, gets on a bike with a duplicate number, doesnt tell anybody, then gets indignant when we find we have a scoring problem after the race


and my favorite ... the newb who shows up at the signup booth before it opens dressed in full gear and goggles and wants to know when his practice starts .... he will be back 5 more times asking the same question before signup opens

People who wear their jerseys to watch a SX
When they water a hard jump face
stupid track owners (I've been on both sides of the sign up table)
quads (If I rode a quad I would say bikes)
"hospital" jumps (If someone crashes there all the time, change it, duh)

1) Quads running the same day as bikes turning every corner into a no line, blue groove piece of shit.
2 )novices that sit in staging bouncing off the rev limiter like they are "clearing out" their 4 strokes.
3) electrical tape as numbers.
4) Thousands of dollars of extras and bling on a bike for a kid that rides mid-pack in the C class.
5) My buddies that always assume I'll bring more than enough water for the pressure washer.....or buddies that use the outside shower on my trailer for 15 minutes at a time.
6) spodes that throw some weak form of a whip/scrub everytime their bike is six inches off the ground.
7) Guys with pit boards for their buddy in the 4 lap 125 c class.
The list could go on but the good far outweighs the bad.

The first one to the finish line does win.

I dont bitch about any of it at the track none of it really affects me......the thread asked what bugged you......that shit bugs me. Sorry but anyone who can afford $50 to join a district and $25 to enter a class can scrape up $10 for numbers......Ever try to score a race with electrical tape #'s on a blue or red plate? Last minute numbers are one thing but week after week? I was ragging more on the dads who bling their kids bike like they are pro more than the kids who ride them. and Im sorry the non stop rev fast in staging is annoying to anyone that ends up staged near there.
Your right....I am fun to go to the races with.....and it is tough for me Cool .

The electrical tape numbers are a classic though, old school. LOL The numbers that make me perk up are the mailbox numbers stuck on a new $6000.00 bike. Have to laugh at those. Funny stuff.

Kids and even adults who race thru the pits. Making dust,throwing roost,and just plain flying thru the pits. Then they are the slowest guy on the track.Unsure

When people don't pay the box and I have to go out and collect from them. You would be surprised how many people try and rip me off for 10.00.

I hate it when guys rev the shit out of their bikes in the pits when warming them up. Especially if they are parked next to you.
