Sam call me about dumont this weekend.

I hope you will race, Thanks for the help, I have nothing to do w/ the money part, we just have to pay when we get there. I will hopefully here back from the owner today to set in stone the date.

PhotoFinish, welcome to the forums.

 

GREAT IDEA!!! Man this kind of racing is what I have always wanted to do. I think this kind of racing is where the DS shines. Weight isnt as much of a factor as it is in hillshooting. So for us fatboys, this could get fun!! Now I just wish I had a DS, meybe by then, who knows!!

Good luck on getting this together guys, I know when we were putting DS Days together the first time it got to be a big headache from everyone wanting it done there way so my suggestion is figure out how your going to do it and dont change it till after its done and you'll know what to fix for next time. One thing about this is, the BLM cant shut it down!!

Mario be watching for a PM here in the next few days, been short on time this week. TTYL

 

I'm in annihilater if you guys don't mind a 800cc nitrous vforce taggin a long, let me know if you need help with anything.

 

rather then making 5-10 classes to fit everybodies individual setups you should set it up as a bracket race. If your bike runs 4.0-4.3 put them in a class, if they are from 4.31-4.6 stick them in another class and so forth. Otherwise you're going to have people second guessing what each has, fuels, ect and it just makes a mess.

Mid november is turkey day racing for a bunch of folks. That will hurt your turnout when people love going to glamis/pismo/dumont/ect.

 

Good idea on the brackets.

Nov 13 would put it 2 weeks prior. But until the owner of the track responds to e-mail we wont know. We will set this up to where it is convienient as possible.

 

Remember that bracket racing requires a good deal more officiating (for lack of a better word). It requires a qualifying period, a computerized system for light timing, and takes away from the head to head. A guy on a stock bike leaves about an hour earlier than Mario's bike. You kind of lose some of the "head to head fun. Once you have classes, and everyone is locked in, you just run the tournament style bracket. Also, depending on the set up at the track, bracket racing may NOT be an option, if the system doesn't support it. We're not talking tons of divisions, just 3 for adults and 2 for children.

Again, all is for not if the owner doesn't respond. I think that both Mario and I have emails to the owner with no responses as of 10:50am pacific. We'll keep you guys informed.

Not to panic, The owner has been very busy. I am confident we will have a firm date set by tomorrow evening.

This drag race is also for STOCK bikes as well, It will come down to rider skill, Set-up and tuning.
The classes will be set when the date is set.

To avoid all exuses we might require the Owner of the bike to run their own bikes.

 

nah, drag racing is run what ya brung. If you require the owners to ride their own bikes then that in itself is an excuse. The race is to determine the fastest bike/rider combo and it should stay that way.

As for the brackets, its quiet simple and it is the fairest possible way to hold a drag race. Go ahead and read my message over again. You stick racers within a .3 bracket with eachother. That way it isnt much of a wait at the light and is still a very competitive drag race. If you dont do this, like i said...you'll have second doubt's, you WILL have cheaters, and this takes all the problems away
