I know you are competing with devices and changing life styles, but millinials don't think they are getting much " value" for their 40 bucks.
Needs a total make over and make it a show like SX. It needs to be a better value for younger people cause the boomer crowd is getting old.

I like the track a lot. The whole section leading up to the finish line is awesome. Uphill double and then a rhythm section of doubles or singles depending on how you did it.
It would be a shame to see it go.
Good for them. I've been around this sport since 71, racing since 77. I have never ever seen so much desention with the sport. I especially like and agree on the concepts of naming the teams, the lack of information released on riders, attendance, pay, the costs of amateur racing ( both in money and strains on families and getting an education), etc.
These things need addressed soon. Boomers like me, are the backbone of the sport. This is upside down! It's a young persons sport, but in my area we have a series called MastersMX. It sometimes gets thirty 50 plus A guys . That should be the Open A numbers, but there are no significant numbers there anymore.
When these guys get 60, the sport is going to be saying "What happened?"
I've heard we can't compete with devices. I get that. Then you need to develop a better product. We need more info out there and that is easy to do. Provide info since all those young people are on their devices. Get a good promotion company. Get info out there to those kids devices. The Prez does it everyday.
I've attended 3 national this year. Mx 338 was the only venue with spectators at the fences all the way around the track, like it should be.
But I digress. Maybe the TV numbers are so great and are hurting the live attendance. But if those numbers aren't significant, there is a real problem.
To see this place shut down, Lose his national, would be devastating. The nail in the coffin that ive seen the sport demise to since I left in 86. Sad.
Ya, DC, I remember you & your family from D7 days.
Beasley, youll prob never read this, but what you do, have, and provide us all with, God Bless You & we locals cant thank you enough.
Please Don't Go Away
Would hate to see the place go.
Some great times as both a rider and spectator.
But eh, I don't know if I'd deal with it like Beasley has, for so long.
I understand, it's the family farm.
But think of the money he could probably pull, even if he just sold the motocross and parking part of it to some developer.
Keep the dragstrip, cash out, pay off the parasites that have latched on, become a millionaire, enjoy life a bit.
Wouldn't blame him a bit.
