Like the Hyper Pro/Am series but for the younger guys.

Dan i had suggested this, but maybe we can make it work. But x box is not the right thing, we wanna keep em outside, not staring in front of the t.v. Maybe i can talk to al al at cjs and see waht he can do to help.

I know my kid would tell everyone in his school if won a Xbox RACING .I’m not sure that he would get the same interest telling his friends he won a helmet or something !!!

It would be cool to stop the races and turn up the music like they do for the pro/am

everything glenn said– BUT– point the poeple that race and aren’t qualified– spoilers can make the championship very interesting–

and i like th eidea of the young gun open

Just to expand on what Chris just mentioned.

How about having a series for the little kids (an open class) in conjunction with the state races where there is a point system and at the championship they win an XBox or something.

Like the Hyper Pro/Am series but for the younger guys.

I will buy the Xbox (or something else in the same price range) if thats what it takes.

I think that would be good for the younger kids, the only thing that you may have to do is have someone keep track of all the points. With the Pro/Am all the points were taken care of by us and not the state, we did it this way to alleviate the extra work that would have been involved.

So if someone is willing to help with this, I say bring it to the next state meeting and present it to the board. With the success of the Hyper Pro/Am, it should be able to be done.

I don’t know what’s involved in something like this but I would be willing to go for it . If someone would be willing to give me some help to get going, that would be great!

I’m pretty invested in this sport already, even though we have only been into it for 2 seasons, I have 2 young riders, 6 & 7 so I would love to be involved more to help keep the younger generation of riders have fun and stay motivated!

Ok guys, Brett started a new topic for the “young guns open” so lets move the talk about that over to there.

Let’s continue on the topic at hand….How to improve the NJ State series.

I understand that this is part of improving the state series but I think it warrants its own place to discuss it…..Thanks

There are a lot of good ideas….let’s keep them coming.

I think you have to count at least 4 qualifiers. Its a state ‘series’ right? It could be less to get into the championship. I also agree it should be triple points for the championship. I know my 2 kids and I just had to show up. Nothing to gain or lose.

one state qualifier at EACH nj track.. including pottstown

[bmiddaugh]

I second that.

[RaidenHayden]

So, one qualifier at each track, best of three, champ finals count triple, and only five locals.
