i dont understand wh the nj pros dont race and the ct pro/am weekly race has semis every sunday ( out side the warrior series).

we will go where the competition is( thats what danny wants to do) thats the last thing i will say about it.

vinny said to me after the race… hey pass it on to your ct friends to come on down to check out the track… what should i say when they say does howell have a pro/am at their local??

they have no reason to come down on a sunday when they can stay there and have semis right there at home…

if its just the 17-24x class it dosnt make sence to run an extra class with the same exact riders you have in class…thats why the pros have to go and sign up then get the ams to do it.. they asked stosh and tim and co and they all said they didnt want to race… just practice. so thats why no ams went up. i asked dan if there was going to be an open and he said no that none of the pros were racing so the ams didnt sign up. why run 2 exact motos?( without the pros). i heard the announcement too so i know they did know about it.

he is 17 most of them are 20 and older.. jeremy would have been the youngest at 16…

[bmxmom156]

it was the kid who they kept saying “he is only 4 yrs old”

i think the last moto someone was cheering him on and he looked like he was going to ride off before the finish line…( to see his dad/ mom?) haha it was adorable they had to guide him to the finish line..

i thought he had a ghp jersey on…

maybe…. Dead

or too much of this the night before? CHampagne

would love to know…

dave hit the nail on the head…

the reason to do open is not for the $$ its to race faster guys and chase them down. when the younger guys finally turn 16 its such a big deal you have no idea. i hear some of them 14-15 now saying i cant wait till i turn 16 and can race the open. well how does that fare when they dont have one for whatever reason…

we have just been thru this personally so thats why i bring it up. its up to the pros to keep the spark going and have these races as often as they can… they should be the ones encouraging the faster experts to race with them… the younger up and coming kids should nt have to go around and BEG them to race week after week… it should be the other way around.

it benefits everyone esp the ones who have to get tuned up for that 17-24 ex class

at howell it could have been 3-4 pros.. plus 6 17-24x riders plus jeremy…thats 10 riders for an open( money or no money it would have been a great race)

you cant disagree with that???

[bmxmom156]

i didnt see any bmx on the show did i miss it? just put it on was it on in the beginning?

[bmxmom156]

he smokes??

no way!

[bmxmom156]

i will ask him but he is not in the position to drive to 2 races a weekend ( flem and cj) on a reg basis… i dont know if the commitment is there for the local pros its hard enough to get them to show at state races…( for the big bucks) most of them work at least 1 of 2 weekend days…so may be hard to get there…

seems simple enough/ less complicated just to let the experts/ pros run an impromtu $ open when they want to… whoever shows up… jimmy and dan spoke of this a few weeks ago and i thought they were going to try to get one going at every race( more for training purposes… the cash would just be a bonus) they had 6 guys in the 17-24x plus a few older experts said they would run it occasionally im sure rich would be up for it… oh and dont forget ANT DOG and CRAIG….

[bmxmom156]

i vote for rider of the month…your little ghp guy who raced at howell today… i dont know his name…he was like 4 yrs old or something..that kid was pedaling!!!

he was sooo cool! the smallest race pants i have ever seen!!

[bmxmom156]

go ghp…enjoy it while you can…

Huh Huh

[bmxmom156]

i doubt money is the issue here. maybe you can start a poll for the pros and see why they race sometimes and not others… with the price of gas who would travel all that way and just practice? when you can win some money( if money is the motivating factor)

[bmxmom156]

hahaha

[bmxmom156]

its contagious thats all i can figure out. once one says nah im not racing today then they all sayit.

i was under the impression you had to register to practice? i hate to be the sour apple but maybe if they had to register to ride they would race? even if its for 5 bucks come on????

this is not good for the younger crowd to see these guys practice then they sit there waiting for them to race and “what moto is the open?” oh they arent racing today…. thats just what i heard….

the ams have to pay for class and they are willing to pay to race open… the pros have no excuse i am sorry… just my 3 cents…

[bmxmom156]

now if we can only get those pros to race….

hmmmmmmmm….anyway to fix that ? suggestions? there were at least 3-4 there today and no go for an open….snyder sullivan deveko and another?? and no phil so whats the excuse ?

we have to get these guys to RACE. you older guys have to do that task… a few 17-24’s were up for it ,.would have been an exciting race for sure. a few pottstown locals came all tht way and no open??

somebody make some suggestions here please..im all ears…
