Great to here. IL. Has some really good tracks, track prep- Loam is spectacular. I used to race the nuclear series at Byron IL. In the late 90,s.

Yes. Full gates even in the 50 class. Maybe kids are discovering dirt bikes again.
Well there were plenty of open gates in the +50 class, so where were you, Scott?
I had some fun battles with John this weekend. Good times, for sure!

That's awesome. Curious to see what we get at Englishtown this weekend for the 44th Annual Kawasaki Race of Champions.

I've been getting the itch to come out of retirement and go race 30+ there. Last time I rode there after a 2.5 year drought I felt right at home in a few laps.

If only the promoters here in Texas could actually work together and give us a good series...Texas Winter Series is awesome, but aside from that there aren't any prominent MX series worth while.

Off road on the other hand has awesome turn outs!

All the stick and ball sports were cancelled this year. More time for the kids to ride!

I was at a big annual event last weekend. Place was packed more than a usual year, no masks, people acted normal, life was normal for 3 to 4 days, a lot of money was raised for Road to Recovery, and everyone stood and respected our Flag and National Anthem! Thus proving this is the best sport period!

This is just awesome to hear.

I thought video games were going to the the death of this sport, but it appears that parents area actually teaching their kids how to ride a dirt bike.

My kids wear their KTM and Honda logo tee shirts all the time when they go out and get lots of questions from other kids that seem interested in riding.

Maybe this sport is not doomed after all...
