TxGuy Added a reply to What keeps me up at night. (Local racing in the south east)
3/10/2020 9:58am i didn't follow the sport from about '90-'97. When I dropped out, the classes were: 50 60 80 125 250 And that was it. I suppose there was a modified class for 50, and a EXPERT class for 250...but it was pretty simple. I remain completely confused about all the classes today. My kid aren't into moto, but if they...

3/9/2020 12:32pm agreed. But the reclusive nature of this sport is not helped by scripted stiff press events like this. Honestly, it comes off so cringey...if they won't change it....they should just dump it altogether.

3/8/2020 11:21am not a good place? After winning a race in front of 50k fans, this is not a good place to ask questions? 1. talk about setup specifically 2. specific sections of the track - what worked and what didn't? 3. Beef with riders, block passes, rough riding, etc 4. Team issues - how a teammate is doing, a manager is...

3/8/2020 10:11am that's sad, and your acceptance of it makes it even sadder.

3/8/2020 9:26am same reason that threads get clipped - cause they touch on subjects too close to their buddies. It's sad. SX wants to be a "real" sport like stick/ball...but the "press conference" is simply the media teeing up questions so that the riders can thank their sponsors. Think two drivers from NASCAR get into an altercation in the pits (on video)...

3/6/2020 3:50pm I don't disagree. Just pointing out the responses and reactions from event leaders. I have a bad feeling that this season is trimmed.
TxGuy Started a new thread Austin cancelled SXSW
3/6/2020 2:59pm ...and I bet you that we're going to be VERY lucky to see this season finish normally. SXSW is a huuuuuuuuge deal for Austin, and for them to cancel it over COVID-19 fears is a major decision. Putting 70k fans in a stadium is going to get questioned soon... hope I'm wrong.

3/3/2020 11:59am i'll say again - I think Marv retires. This stuff hits too close for him. She is gonna help him walk away while he can still...walk. I don't blame him, either.

3/3/2020 10:35am it's almost like a movie of working his entire life for ONE moment, and then he gets it, and then tragedy strikes. Ugh. Prayers to this kid.

2/29/2020 11:59am huh? I have several MJ signed things. I walked up to him and he signed it. Back in the day you could mail him a stamped envelope with a basketball card in it and he'd mail it back.

2/29/2020 11:13am look right above your post. Long term posters asking you to cool your jets.............again. I'm happy with lots of things you post - I will just never understand your fixation on talking down to your customers. Never.

2/28/2020 2:06pm that split section seems silly. There's a fast line and a slooooow line. Meh. I like the sand and the long whoops though!
