A lot of Angst, Anxiety and out-right crap is bein' spewed about the current Glen Helen situation and I wanted to offer up some clarity...
Coombs is guilty.
Yup.
He's guilty of tryin' to maintain an open line of communication with you, the "Moto-Head-Public"...
He's out of his head.
Somehow, the guy comes in here and tells you EXACTLY what's goin' on and you throw him under the bus for it.
Classic.
Btw, he and I have NO business relationship. I don't advertise with Racer-X & I'm not involved with MX SPorts other than I go to the Races and help some Teams find Sponsors.
We DO, however, hang out now and then and talk about Family, the industry and racing...like a coupl'a absolute Moto-Geeks. For a few years now...we'll have a beer after the day's done and talk about...you guessed it...
MX Racin'...
He's a walkin' Moto-History book. He's an ABSOLUTE MOTO-GEEK! He has been tryin' to pull off some events, for all of our benefit, that make ALL of us get a chance to be involved in this sport at the BEST Level(s) that can be ACHIEVED!
Anyone go to the Am. races at this years Daytona SX? I did.
(You WOULDN'T BELIEVE that Audacious things he's tryin' to pull off for the GNCC crowd...)
That's the thing: He does this because he's the goofiest-moto-fan there is.
He does everything with-in his power to make OUR sport better; because, he loves it.
Some of us would do well to put has much of oursleves into the things we truly love...
But, some of you won't even "get" what I've just told you.
And that's jus' sad...
(This is where some-one calls me a "Nut-Hugger"...)
See you at Hangtown!

From one of my own, too.
Oh, tha pain...the pain...
F'it.
I'm puttin' a new 120 on the rear and findin' you!
I can say I am totally bummed about Glen Helen.
I know it's business but I can still dislike the outcome.
The Shop
Can you spread that thought around...?
I might help this place!
Hey, the guy is American Motocross.
I've heard he could have cashed out long ago, for millions upon millions upon millions.
But he keeps sluggin thru the mud and B/S.
Why?
Because the guy IS American Motocross.
Denver doesn't fall in this category, and it is still on the schedule.
I'm not sure fingers have to be pointed, but if they do I would be inclined to point them to the only track that fell off the series...
Mid-week after hellish rains the night before, don't remember the class, friggin humid and hot and there is DC pushing a guys bike from the middle of the track all the way off to the announcers tower area with no rear wheel just a rim.....draggin through the thick mud.
No big deal made, no cameras and certainly no money in doing that....just a guy that loves racing helping out a fellow rider.
Took the time to shake my hand and chat for a sec before going back to work.
Say what you will about business stuff but the guy is moto all the way to the bone.
Pit Row
Is your glass ALWAYS 1/2 Empty?
I'm jus' laffin'...
But Lakewood has a lot of natural elevation changes. Most of the local riders love it. We'll find out what the rest of the world thinks after the MxDN.
I think (IMO) DC is the man who will take this sport to new levels. I know there are some of you who don’t want the sport to grow, and that’s a argument for another thread. And I would agree with what a lot of you would say. Like I said that’s another thread.
In regards to smoother tracks.......they do make the racing better and more exciting for people who have never raced a dirtbike to actually no how hard motocross is. And when I watch a race on TV, I would much rather watch a race where the guys are flying around the track racing each other, not worrying about how bad the kickers are going to be coming down Mt. St Helen for example. I mean yea the riders are doing incredible things, but you can't pick that up on TV.
And how freaking awesome has it been to watch supercrosses live as much as we have this year? I predict the nationals will be like this soon.....
All just my opinion guys......I know change is hard, I still miss Broome, like a fat kid misses cake......when theres not cake around…….I don’t know where I was going with that.
No 2 strokes, no Glen Helen.....what a mess AMA Pro MX is.
I can imagine that i am not the only one who he has done these kinds of good deeds for, a good guy in my eyes and a good business man also and i would know one when i meet one..
He tried and even Glen Helen admitted in their press release that there were negotiations not just singular ultimatums. All this bluster will mean nothing in a few months.
Hard to forget the crew at Unadilla knocking down the ruts and filling the holes at intermission a few years back. Fans were yelling and wondering why turn the classic track into a freeway. This is commonplace these days and very sad.
