I know a handful of racers are planning to run this series. Are local track Batavia Motorssports speedway I heard is trying to get a race with the series. With the price of gas and the EDT National series going to the no drops allowed this year I think alot of local tracks are going to see more action.

Hold tight I they are trying. I know they have been talking to the other tracks about getting a date. I dont think they knew about the races.

So you saying you enjoyed being able to use the drop races at the nationals like years before ???.

Ok, now put the shoe on the other foot & say you attended every event, made the effort, spent the money on gas & took the time involved for the trip out & back & then had races taken away from you at the end of the season.
If you attend every event, that would be saying you are dedicated to the series as a racer & then to have races taken away from you, then you just got punished for even showing up. All the moneys, time involved, wear & tear on the bike or bikes, time off from work, flushed right down the drain, wasted.

Yes i do like the idea of the drop a race. What happens if you can not make it to a race? You will get a O and no chance to win a championship. So why would anybody want to travel to all the far away races if they have no chance to win a Championship?

Here is another example say you blow up and have to push your bike across the line and take a low score. It would be nice to use that as your throw away race.

In the mini atv class last year we had 7 families going to most all the races faithful. This year with the no drop format I know of only 2 familes that will try and go to all of them.

I dont know of any other atv race series that does not have at least one race drop for the year.

Guess we will have to wait and see how the new format works out.

Hopefully we see a good turnout for NE EDT, wouldnt hurt my feelings to run a series thats all within 6hrs of me.

Until then, Im going to be running EDT, all but OK from the way it looks so far.
