Blast from the past ... 2011 headed to Loretta Lynns.

People are already headed that way from all of the USA for 2018 AM Nationals. Good luck to ALL Racers!

Are they going to livestream it again? Will Vital have a link to it?

Live stream was mentioned by one of our racers. I am debating hopping in the Pilot and flying low for a couple days.

Just heard Jett Reynolds is out with an injury; bummer

Will definitely be sneaking in motos on the live feed from my desk at work next week!

A friend that raced there in 1982 wife just sent me this picture. That 1982 shirt & hat should be mounted inside a glass case!

I've still never experienced Lorettas in person yet; however it does seem like it wouldn't be a weekend at the ranch without the weather keeping things interesting.. Hopefully the weather passes as scheduled isn't any kind of weather related "equalizer" by the 2nd and 3rd motos

I know Reynolds got injured at the California Classic or whatever at Pala, but why is Stilez out? I don't go to local amateur races anymore. I just pay attention to Lorettas

I don’t see why Loretta’s gets a bad rap, it’s the pinnacle of amature competition in our sport, the amount of time and money these kids and parents put into this is up there with any mainstream sport. It’s a long hard road to make it to top 40 in the country in any sport, especially moto. To grow the sport this should have more coverage. My .02

I've seen some really good media come out of LL and with social media and marketing being what it is I think they should keep doing that to bring more interest and exposure into the sport like Troy Adamitis.

Great weather, usually the humidity is extreme here this time of year and will suck the life out of a person. Lumpy...Not sure from reading your post, but are you able to make it to LL ?

The people bitching about the idea of a C class championship

it's a "dry" county, so if you want any adult beverages you need to bring them in with you.

there is a river there you can swim in also.

if you bring a trail bike, you can ride across the river up a graded road into the mountains.

Some of the absolutely best races are these kids who are at the top of the heap, it’s what made me love the sport, just wish it had more exposure is all. Maybe a 2 hour show on MavTv with the best races regardless of age. I don’t care if it’s 50cc stock or Vet just cover good racing to bring people into the sport.

I will not be there this year.


Same area (first turn) as 2016 but on the "Creekside" of the road (Creek access for a quick cooling off etc.). Blake & Baylor are there along with Dick & Tyler. Bruce knows what there rig looks like and #43 KAW.


I need to qualify next year so I can keep my qualifying going for another decade... that would make 4 different decades!
