By the way you forgot Zachary McLaughlin on your list. Also we brought poeple from Bensalem to cjbmx and nbl riders over to Bensalem. You say that you dont need facts, Wow that takes something to think your opinion is the only one that is not ridiculous. Talk about conceite.
Ok so some people do go. Big deal. That does not answer any of the other questions – WHY only 8 motos? Cant answer that can you? The conjecture as you call it is fact. You picked out the only thing in a very long post that was not absolute fact and made it seem as though nothing else was written.
Is the FACT that Bensalem gets 6-10 motos conjecture?
Is the FACT that Blue Diamond gets 6-15 motos conjecture?
Is the FACT that Bensalem resigned their ABA contract then got a national conjecture?
Is the FACT that both sanctions decry the other sanction at every opportunity conjecture?
Is the FACT that the ABA only had 3 nationals in the East this year and that 2 of them were at these 2 tracks conjecture?
Is the FACT that Pottstown wants to be part of the New Jersey series just conjecture? come to the meeting in January to find out.
Is the fact that both tracks are close to closing just conjecture? Just ask them, I DID.
Is the FACT that the New Jersey tracks closed for close nationals just conjecture?
MY OPINION IS NOT NONSENSE!!!! BY JUST RELEGATING ANY OPINION TO THAT FATE IS NOT ONLY RUDE, IT IS ALSO SHORT-SIGHTED. THIS IS TGHE SECOND TIME MY OPINION(AND BY ASSOCIATIONMYSELF)WAS RUDELY SLAPPED AWAY. I AM DONE ! SORRY BRETT
Yes. Ant should also be sanctioned.
I agree, both should go. I’m tired of it. It is like a car accident you dont want to look, but you cant helpit. The last series of posts made my eyes bleed. I could also feel my IQ going down.
I figures that i would have to defend this.. so…
1) I dont hide, so my name is mike mclaughlin-so now you know who i am. I can be found at Cjbmx, bensalem, bluediamond and egg harbor for anyone who wants to speak to me.
2) it is not total nonsense, while speaking to the track directors from both tracks i found out that the reason they both stayed ABA is becase they got nationals. Bensalem got even more(redline cup?). Neither track gets more than 15 motos on any given race. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN>>> 15 MOTOS. Usually it is more like 8. Do the local riders come from Severn? Bensalem, Cedar ? how about from 1st State? NO. Blue diamond even tried to change when they race. It did not help.
3)Where would they get riders? There are a lot of riders from south jersey that would go to delaware. Flemington is not an option for most south Jersey riders, but Blue diamond is only a “quick drive”. As to the idea that Jersey riders wouldnt go there. Think about this. The state has to close tracks because so many of the Nwe Jersey riders travel to nationals. HMMM… How about the locals who supported Mullica hill? Blue diamond is closer than egg harbor.
Bensalem on the other hand is surrounded by NBL tracks. Flemmington is less than 45 min away, Pottstown, Central Jersey is also close. If you pull a total of 20 racers on an average race then it could not possibly hurt.
I have never posted anything that I could not support. Caveman, Please change my mind. I know you are a loyal ABA guy as is lead sled. I get that. I dont think that one sanction is inherently better than another unlike some others here. We like some things from each one. I only think that there should be ONLY 1 SANCTION!!! Given that this probably wont happen soon I took that idea and used the Delaware Valley as a microcosim(SP?) of the country. More tracks are not the answer, we cant support the ones we have. There are 4 NBL tracks and 2 ABA tracks. They dont help each other, in fact they take every opportunity to degrade each other. How is that helpful? If there were only 6 tracks from one sanction then, I believe, it would help. Maybe that is naive.
I know that the modus operendi of people on this site is to rebuke any idea that they dont lagree with without supporting their OPINION with any logic or facts. That is why I take the time to advance MY OPINION – ridiculous or not – by using logic.
By changin all of the local tracks to one sanction, it would help the riders from Pottstown. They want to be part of the New Jersey state series because the parents have to travel 4 hours for a state qualifier. Having an established track in Bensalem Couldnt hurt.
4) Now, why change to NBL and not the other way around? First, Better to change 1/3 of the tracks than 2/3. Also, in the east there is NO doubt that the NBL is bigger. Why change to a sanction that only allows 3 national east of the appelation(SP) mountains. That does not make any sense. I know, I know, who cares about nationals. Wel let me put this as bluntly as I can. Apparently a lot of people care because they close the state for any close national. Also, if I am ridiculous, then how does anyone explain the fact that there were 3 ABA nationals in the east and 2 of them were at the tracks in question? I know, maybe its coincedence.
Being part of the ABA scene at both delaware and bensalem, it seems that the ABA has a solution for concerns, throw them a national. Case in point, Bensalem and blue diamond both resigned ABA contracts this year, and poof they both have nationals. I think that it was a mistake. they would have had a better chance for higher rider count if they both switched to NBL. I dont mean to imply that one sanction is better than the other, just that in this area, 6 nbl tracks would have more leverage than 4 NBL and 2 ABA(1st state is too far to be considered close.)
Hey, I said it before, there are only 24 nj riders that race aba(boys). Bensalem is in real trouble if they dont get more riders. You think it is bad in NJ? Try 8 motos on Sundays. Blue Diamond is in a similar position. Oh and Pottstown runs the same time as flemington. I tried to call all of you guys out to help over there but no one answered.
farside win, win
jeremy smith win, win
talor farside went second on sat
i know i am missing some main makers, i will get them
we didnt do well but there is always lexingtonzach and I will be there.
my son uses them. they are great for balance. Although it takes some time to adjust to them. He started with 3 min steady followed by 30 second sprint then 3 min cooldown. then he worked up to 5 min 50 seconds 5 min.
Say what you want about pro designed teracks, but having been to over 40 nationals the last two years, this was by far the best pro racing i have seen!!! 4 wide at the finish line. 3 wide down the second straight. man that was awesome!!!!
I agree, Zach was able to beat the 12x aba world champion in the semi because he flipped the gate. hey we’ll take it any way we can
zach made his main on sunday and went 6th. He missed on sat by the diameter of his front rim.
we’ll be there. looking forward to it, Zach likes blue diamond
We’ll be there – watch out x class
