JoeyC Added a reply to Logan Karnow
3/9/2025 8:38am As a father of a privateer, I have some insight. Many of the privateers that occasionally qualify for mains or consistently make the night shows, have sponsors for most of their expenses. This is the key to being a successful privateer. Sponsors cover your expenses and you make money from the race purse money, gear/manufacturer contingencies and team bonuses if...

1/22/2024 8:38am It says a lot about AP that everyone wanted to congratulate him. It was such an overall feel good moment in the sport. He and Josh have known each other since they were young children. Josh also got in on the celebration!

I’ve been going to SX races since the first one at the Coliseum. I can’t think of any race where I was more happy for the winner.

My kid finished 10th overall in both 65 7-9, and 7-9 limited at LL this year. Best moto was a 4th. Completely stock bike too, didn’t even touch suspension. Even ran the stock maxis tires on the bike (except for the 3 mud races when I put a mx14 wheel on). He goes to normal school, and we just ride. Don’t do any training. We do go to a Monday night class thing at a local track with like 10 other kids for 3 hours, but we only do that once every 3 weeks or so on average. He would...

Yep, still doing it together at LLs since 1984. And then it starts all over again.

JoeyC Added a reply to Has Amateur MX become a rich family sport?
7/12/2023 1:37pm My wife and I both have professional Information Technology jobs. I always assumed everyone at a motocross track had more disposable income than your average family. The "rich family" phrase is relative. How much defines rich? We were fortunate to have a lot of vacation time, which helped immensely. Josh's 8 year old year we did the entire AMA AX...

Become? I’d say it’s been a rich family sport.

JoeyC Added a reply to Fastway with Ankle Savers - Why Not?
6/25/2023 4:36pm The person (Tom) who invented them in his garage in Tennessee is a friend of mine. I forget what year he created them, but my son started using them once he moved to big bikes in 2010. At the time, Tom had not designed any for mini-bikes. My son used them throughout his amateur career on all of his Yamaha's...
JoeyC Added a reply to Ankle Saver pegs
5/8/2023 12:07pm A vet rider from our area in Tennessee (Tom Crain) invented these pegs years ago in response to his ankle injuries. They became popular for vet riders in our area. Tom was one of our sponsors and my son (Josh Cartwright) used them on all of his big bikes as an amateur. Josh also did a lot of GNCC and...

4/10/2023 8:49am I was in the stadium most of the day from about 11:30am until the end of the last race of the night. I watched all of the practices and the LCQ's. When I entered the stadium for the start of the races it was super hazy. I thought it was maybe from the opening ceremonies fireworks that I missed. I...
zookrider62! Liked a forum topic Most stacked field ever
4/3/2023 8:00am
We hear this at the start of almost every season, and we hear some reasons why, but rarely do we see any statistics behind that. I wanted to do my own analysis on it to determine going into A1 (or wherever the first round was), how stacked the field really was. The criteria was pretty simple, past champions add to how "stacked" the field was. 450 SX/MX received 3 points 250 MX received 2 points 250 SX received 1 point Riders would be assigned points based off whichever their highest points they had acheived at that time. As an example...

3/29/2023 12:49pm Both facilities are open-air multi-purpose stadiums. If it rains, both will be terrible. The TN stadium is about 24 years old and NJ stadium is about 14 years old. Neither are overly impressive compared to the roofed stadiums like AT&T stadium in Arlington. I attended an SX in NJ a few years ago and it rained. And it was cold...
