As fun (and easy) as it is to pile on GH it sure seems like most attendees left with a smile regardless of a few issues.
But negative critics don’t help but that’s part of anything successful now a days.
Riders had a good time but some negatives clouded the event. But accusing Lori of not caring is just wrong. I know what her mental framework was after the rider passing. Her questions about track layout and being Vet friendly the weekend before and changes she made against what Jody had planned for even up till Friday night. I known and worked with Lori for almost 30 years and she cares and be thankful she’s there. She will improve it and make it as safe as she can for everyone but it’s a dangerous sport.
I'm in total agreement with Mr. Info.
It was well organized, the only thing I remember was that the motos were short.
If I'm doing the math right and the GH promoters are pulling down 100k they could take a little of the money and add a day or two to the schedule. Or cap the entries to what the can handle for a single day and make sure it's staffed properly.
Really, they need 4 or 5 days to push 1000 riders through practice and racing, that's if you want to give the riders their monies worth, even if they had to up the entry fee a few more dollars to do that, it'd be worth it.
For most vets a 10 to15 Min moto is good.
Have the pros and intm practice day one, nov beg day two, pro intm race day three, nov beg race day four.
Day five is put on hold in the event they had to extend into another day to finish up all the racing.
Most riders would gladly pay a little more for a well run race with two 15min motos, than less money for a shit show with really short motos.
I'm sure they'll miss you when 900+ riders show up again and only 890 have a blast.
^ this is the attitude that creates a shit show
It happens to be 900 average vets that are the ones that pay for the show. Sure the few locals that live down the road are ok if their race day gets ruined by a unorganized / understaffed facility/ promoter. Turns into a ….joke.
If the race gets a reputation of being a joke why would someone train, practice, take time away, travel and spend the money to arrive and not have a legit race? And then be belittled and humiliated by someone defending their mistakes.
Pit Row
Referee was rem sat MX Frank
Transponders were used, I did not see any bikes without numbers, but I may have missed
People do cheat
They added a race after 30 pro was red flagged for 2nd motos
They had to cut sown laps or I would have been racing in the dark
Tech inspection? Really... I checked in and showed my drivers license
Staging well coulda been a little better, they’re we’re friends prepping and saving start gates for riders BEFORE they were called out of staging
Practice was out Of control many guys in practice that were not in that group
Organization was pretty good
Thinking they need to make it a longer event
Like practice Thursday start racing Friday qualifying races Saturday make main event (s) Sunday kinda like mammoth does
This was the first year I almost didn’t do it, but because of cost of entry, it’s gone up a lot and to me since I can race or ride here every week, if you came from far away I get it,
The sand bagging is horrific if your an event sponsor, or buddy of certain cliques, you can drop down and race the novice class every year, even when you won it every year prior.
My only real complaint is they completely over watered track for start of second moto,s I expect better. The downhills and uphills were a waterfall and as slippery as a greased cookie sheet.
Now the REM October cross the week was far more worth it, long practices long motos almost perfect track condition YET ROUGH, which I like best, and flaggers spread appropriately for the racers protection.
I'm definitely going back next year.
I know Friday took the wind out of a lot of sails and it hurts the soul to try and go on. I know how much it hurt Lori and not any of you saw it. This race was always to be to celebrate turning 30 and still racing and making it fun. It will be back stronger than ever next year and better they will see to that. Its not about making lots of money if it was the early discounts would never had been made. It was done to let those that can't afford a post entry to get in early and save.
I hope next year is everything I am hoping for. A man can dream can't he?
I wasn't there so you can ignore my input.
