I ride the Diamond Dons vintage national every year, but other than that I pretty much never ride anymore. I'm kind of with you on the equipment part, I actually kind of enjoy doing the work. I was at Coops working on a water truck the other day and ... more »
Thanks guys, just the info I was looking for.
$8000 seems like a steal for the thing as well. Most of the grey market dozers I've found come with the swamp tracks, I don't think they would do much good for "walking in" stuff. I don't see many with the grouser tracks.
The hard pack issues are exactly my reservation. Some times I have to take the corner of the blade on a new Deere 650 to break up jump faces so I can resurface them. You have to be able to break the surface to fill up the blade. I'm thinking about building ... more »
I have access to nice big new dozers when I need to do a LOT of work at the track or a complete rebuild. Been thinking about picking up one of the little 40hp machines for maintenance. I have a buddy with a track who swears by them but I've also never

Crossland wants Bogle, not sure if it will happen.
I would argue that he never needed to get any faster. I would agree the odds are against it but a fresh JS7 might be dangerous.
A good friend who was in that race that day told me a story. He told me everyone pretty much hated Bradshaw that raced with him. He told me that he went up to Stanton on the start and said "Don't worry, if I get the start on Bradshaw there is NO chance ... more »
Good for you guys. We are still fighting similar issues here in Oklahoma. We had a neighbor that literally tried everything to shut us down, When they could no longer find anything to legally shut us down they offered to buy us out of our lease. We accepted ... more »
It's not all fun and games at Coops place. I mean it mostly is but not always lol [img]https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t34.0-12/11739541_959711737400726_741652166_n.jpg?oh=2a339799ee33404fc75e9b5797651e6a&oe=55A9F981[/img] Doing ... more »
In Oklahoma if you can get 100 entries on a local Saturday night race you've done pretty good. We hit 146 on our first one of the year then 122 a few weeks back. On Tuesday night practices we can get more individual bikes than we can for our Saturday ... more »
Have a few buddies that work for the team, judging by their FB posts I believe Tommy is in for the next round.
Personally I feel like RPM does an excellent job once they get to the track. Every thing leading up to it, not so much. I think last year was around 400 entries, was a neat race but felt like it drug on and on for not that many entries. I think the schedule ... more »
I've even had to explain that gate fees as a rider on race days are really just an extension of the entry fee that's paid at the gate. I do not want my gate person having to figure out who is racing and who is not, charge every one and move on. That's ... more »
I do not charge a gate fee for our day practice sessions. When we have night time practices I charge $5 non rider fee but discount the minis $5 to allow for one parent per rider to get in free. We take on the extra cost of lights, medics, and flaggers ... more »
I promote both types of racing so this one is pretty easy. The last MX race we had 323 people total come in the gate, the last Circle track race sold 15k in pit passes.
For the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would wear anything other than Fly gear. No other gear company puts more money back into local racing than Fly. I can't remember the last time I've seen a "Fox buck, or Thor buck" type promo at a local ... more »
This is spot on, The NMA has simply failed to keep up with changing times. The last 2 years they showed up to Norman and ran out of trophies for a 200 entry turnout............ Rodney at OMC works his ass off for that event, the NMA not so much.
