It wasn't directed at your comment Liss. I knew what you were talking about. As far as Bri goes. Well lets just say I'm glad I don't have to race against her. (I will be trying to keep up with her before this year is over I'm sure.)

Now back on topic. I don't think that the track design has anything to do with trying to fit all the tracks in one piece of property since we had a few tracks last year that were like this one we raced this weekend and we didn't have a combined race. We all know that TORN is a business and I'm sure it's a business they would love to keep running for a while. So if you really want something changed I would suggest you talk to Cross personally and offer your suggestions. I'm sure he would be more then willing to take any kind of feedback he can get.

I personally don't see what the problem is, I think the family does an excellent job and this series has become our favorite. I think all of the racers are part of great families just trying to make every $$ count and there isn't a better series that gives you the bang for the buck than TORN. Free product is great nut I like the free membership better! Thanks TORN carry on...

Last year the 52B had a combine total of approximately 4 riders. Saturday we lined up 16. Made it intresting to say the least. However I do agree about the 4 wheelers; nothing against them I just believe they should have their own event. And as far as the trophy thing goes a piece of plexi glass (REALLY?)
I dont care about the big kids but the little guys will look back on this one day and I hope they have something nicer to show for it. Ya'll started it, and thats my two cents.

Really....you have to start this up again? You can't just get along? This series, just like all the other local series are a hobby for everyone. All of this racing is a money pit for you and your hobby, it is a business only for TORN. Before the QUADS, the track was still only about 5 miles for the bikes, so no difference. We on the other hand were use to tracks 8-12 miles long with ATVCCS, but hey, we know that is a LOT of gruelling work and the quads are just fat happy there is any venue to race. No complaints from us, just happy to be here. I have been doing this for 20+ years on quads, I'm tired, worn out and broken up, and have seen a lot of changes over the decades. The economy is really terrible right now so numbers will be down, its ok, it'll get better again some day, just enjoy your hobby while you physically and financially still can.
Thank you TORN for giving us a venue.

I was talking to a tucker rocky rep that was telling me that alot of the local support has dried up to help pay the top riders since the factories have slowly started to pull support.Prime example Bubba stewart is no longer employed by Tucker Rocky and that alone free's up a couple of million in there bugdet! Just my 2 cents But nobody seams to know how they will spend it yet.

#1 well id wineing if my friends stop racing with me too! #2 some people just change their minds on what they want to do with their time."I can't even imagine that"!!but they do! #3 I also think there would be more sportsman riders on saterday if they all raced then ,Like minnies,then proze then all sportsmen .#4 Then on sunday old people early (after we take our meds for our artherydious,apply bengay and so on) before it gets to hot (you know hart atacks,heat strokes)!I have been riding 40 years and seen alot , this is still a relativly new orgination(like my spelling)still working out the Bugs.So give them all a break and dont bug'em! its hard to put on a event like that over&over again and still keep everybody happy all the time.
Hope to see ya'll ALL again .Next stop T.C.C.R.A.and back here . Texas Ironman dont miss out !

Its funny. This went from just my opinion on having combined races to almost a pissing contest..lol
I have nothing against the people that race atv's or Curtis, Angie, or Cross I think they are very good people. I would like for this series to be around for a long time to come, but you also need to give people a reason to spend a lot of money on racing your series.

eh I don't think anyone turned it into a pissing contest. It's just that you could of started a thread about which is better a yamaha with a kenda tire or a honda with a dunlop. really there is no winner or better opinion. I am just glad you have an opinion and are not afraid to speak up!
