First of all, thanks to all of the guys here and who emailed me on making sure we don't have any more problems with drop-offs moving forward. I got some really good suggestions, and here's where we're headed.
- We will be using smaller banners (likely after Millville because the track is already built) so the jumps are not as big.
- Secondly we are going to work on changing the angle from 90 degrees to something like 75 just in case someone does roll it, we just need to make sure it holds.
- And we have made warning signs like you see with construction in the middle of the track to put out after each moto that reminds track personnel they are there (as we saw with Doc, anyone can forget).
- We will also continue to wave a green flag on sighting laps and first laps or practice to remind riders that they are there.
Thanks for the (mostly) constructive criticism. Next week's topic?Figure-8 tracks and circles-o-fire... Just kidding.

I mean how does someone forget there is a drop off on the track
You have to put up warning signs and wave flags you got to be kidding me
Hope this is a joke because it is pretty funny
Crossover marketing "The First Alert ring of fire" has potential, outside the industry sponsors even......lol.

Anyway, glad you got it situated DC.
it's a motocross track for chirst sake. might as well take the triples and woops out so C riders and mules can make it around the track.
you people will bitch about everything.
DC, please chain an alligator to the drop offs. Therefore if someone makes a mistake and goes over the bars there, they get eaten.
After all, this is motocross. No pussies allowed.

It's a huge mistake to allow us message board yahoos to think we have any pull in this industry.
We are opinionated enough...we don't need industry types actually listening to us. No good can come from this!

Big time industry types participating in message boards is so "back woods" and "small time". How can this sport expect to be accepted as a big time player in professional motorsports when the big time industry players are asking for, and then "returning and reporting" to a bunch of know nothing internet yahoos?
Message boards are bad for professional motocross when the industry players pay attention to them.
