How many races this year???

#1 Post by Iamdanjohnson » Fri Oct 07, 2016 8:09 am

So we have had the craziest year with postponements and that filled the fall up completely. I already have a complete set of awards for Chanute and I have already paid insurance for Chanute. I can transfer all of that over to another weekend.

The only possible date would be November 13. That would end up being three in a row we are on now with October 23rd off. That weekend many of us are racing a National Enduro in Oklahoma. Then we would be three weekends in a row again.

In my mind I think most of you would be ready to be done once we get Carbondale in. I know I look forward to November/December each year as that is when I get to ride the most all year.

Should we just do 13 races this year and call it enough or should we add one more in so we get to finish the full 14 for the season? I have a couple of locations I could go back to but I think I would be leaning more toward another Milford Lake race at this point.

I would really like to hear some feedback on this. Post here or if you don't want to share with the world then text, email or contact me in person at a race.

No....more....races....it's starting to really cut into deer hunting :lol: Can you transfer it to next year or does it have to be this calendar year is the big question?

First of all I'm sorry about all of the rain but I needed the extra time to heal. If it's any consolation I have requested that there be no more rain or snow storms on any of our event dates.


For selfish reasons only I would like to see 13 races this year. It seems that most of the 700 class was asleep early in the season which allowed me to get up in the points. It appears that the more races we have the farther I will get knocked back in positions in my class. The sooner the season is over the better for me anyways but I am a little different.


Just keep doing what your doing Dan and remember... It's all good.


Edit..........

I was not in my right mind when I wrote the above statement. After carefully calculating my points I really feel that I need to race a 14th race but only if it is at Big Springs. I urge you to vote Big Springs for a 14th race.

If 14 runs a year is the norm, then let's do it. It's all for fun anyways and these races are really the only riding I do, so the more seat time the better. If I could pick, another run in Orick would be awsome.

The only time I get to ride is when we race. The rain has ruined much of my riding this summer. I'd like to get in as many races as possible before we have to park 'em for the winter. Milford again would be awesome.

I'm with John and Ryan. This season needs to end . 6 weekends in a row is enough for me.
I tried to post earlier so this may show up twice ???

13 is fine, long season and ready to finish out the year with a few casual rides.
