gotta love it…riders getting together to make things better 🙂 I will see if I can make it.
beautifully done. The best part is it shows REAL kids, not all getting huge air and doing stuff us mortals can’t do!
Bill, hope it goes well. I am all for more tracks in NJ.

If it did, more kids would do it.I find that most kids don’t even know there is racing in NJ…promotion 😀
Fair enough Bill, and the same could be said of the PA system if you think about it. Actually, the PA system is a good reason to have the trailer- to haul it around in!
I am happy we are going through with the grant and would like to make sure the whole thing gets used properly
I think running the championship adds something. Imagine if the national series didn’t require the Grands?
If you take the locals out of the state series I think it kind of lets the wind out of the balloon. Theres not much incentive for racing hard. That same logic could be used to take locals out of the Regional series and then what are you left with?
They could change state plates to NJ1, NJ2 etc and allow you to run them wherever. I think it would be awfully confusing at the Pres Cup if you could run a state number as it is today!
Bill, you mean 4 qualifiers and no locals count?
answered my own question…
seems 10 locals have always been counted. 06 really required nothing. 3 qualifiers only means you need to race at least one at a track other than your own. Reqional championship counts 10 locals anyway. Am I missing something? If we really want to grow the state series, doesn’t seem so bad.

Required: 10 Locals 3 Qualifiers
Counting: 10 Locals 5 Qualifiers
*All 4 Warnicke races can counted as local races at single points whereas before they could not.Anyone remember how many were required previously? Remember also that the state season was extended to Oct 6
I agree with Brett 1000% on the promotion idea. You can have the best of everything, but if knowone knows about/ shows up for the races, its a moot point. That is why I will continue to fight for those $$ going to promotions. Like I said before, if you were at the meeting, you know what and why the grant was proposed the way it was. I wish I would have had specifics on the promotional materials, but it was not available to me or (I assume) anyone else there. (pecial thanks to Brett for all that he has done to get what he has so far). Contact your track reps to insure that it will happen. (Will have it up soon)

still couldnt view it. said something about a bad public movie atom ??
Sorry to hear that Tidey. Sometimes you gotta let your kids pick their own interests. Colin is sort of the same way. He loves to ride his bike, but I don’t really think the racing thing is in him. I am sure if his brother and I didn’t do it, he wouldn’t. Good luck
