I race worcs and worcs only. Way too many issues with Big 6. They are put on by desert clubs, volunteers. Not saying they are bad people, just not always professional in my opinion. I just finished this season in worcs with my son and a bunch of friends. We talked about doing big 6 next year just to change it up. After talking about past bs, we are going back to worcs next year, no contest.

I wanted to chime in as I've raced Big6 for several years and have never experienced any issues like you mention.

Are you sure you're signing up for the right class/lining up on the right line? Have you tried speaking with anyone at Big6 or protesting the results while at the races? Have any GoPro footage of you winning or passing these riders that are showing up ahead of you? Or perhaps making a post over at the D37 message boards instead?

With them using moto-tally to do electronic scoring for the last few seasons, I'd be very surprised if what you're saying is happening is truly the case, though if it really is the case that is some serious cheating and should be addressed obviously. Non-regulars win races all of the time, so I imagine there is some sort of misunderstanding somewhere along the way and can probably be cleared up easily with one of the Big6 officials.

Never had any issues with scoring results as Tactic stated since they have the MotoTally system. Although I have had some miss scores day of the race but it was corrected by contacting the GP steward. Seems it would be pretty hard to cheat when all of the lap times are recorded.

yes, little things like signing up then a half an hour later they have no record of it. Being shown dead last then a week later fifth. Issued a number then told I have the wrong number. The sign up guys drinking coors light...

Moto-Tally is great...but there is still a ton of user error. My local series uses it, and errors are VERY common. Not so much about which class riders are in, or their number...but often-because technology isn't perfect-someone's time won't register at the check or something like that...and it shows them a lap down in the results or something.

I would like to speak to you about your issues with the Big6 so please email me. Thanks

Worcs is definitely one step ahead big 6. The tracks are always usually maintained better than any big 6 race is also..

That sounds like a transponder issue, not a Moto-Tally issue.

I've had transponder problems at big 6 races. 1 E-mail to the stewart and they check the hand scoring and correct it. Done!
