midwest nitrocross series

[mfanke19]

Mike, the race at Dirtburners we're referring to is the weekend of Sep 15. Well, at one point I thought it was a Roar Event, and then I thought I read it was a RC Pro event. I just now checked the dirburners website ( www.dirtburners.org ) and I found that the only big event they're advertising is a Roar National on June 26-29 which doesn't conflict with us at all. Then when I went to the RC Pro Series website I see that they have Midwest Division Round 3 scheduled for Sep, 15-16 at Dirtburners. Anyway, the point being, I agree with Gary and I don't think that the top guys being absent from our Round 6 race will hurt our overall expected attendance at that event. I expect our paid entrees at Leisure Hours to increase over last year, but I have to keep in mind that this is a young series, and I haven't gotten the attention of alot of people out there yet.

I have no intention of moving any rounds, unless forced to due to a later scheduling change with one of the tracks.

Matt, I know you right? you used to race at dirt dawgs, a revo from what I remember? Or am I thinking of a different Matt?

As far as the two races scheduled at the same time...I would explain that this is more of a "club" type of series and that your racers wouldn't normally go to STL anyway and that the racers who would go to STL for the RCPS don't really race your series anyway...
Or something to that effect....this makes it seem that your race won't take from theirs and theirs won't take from yours...

Nope, not me...I only have run one(1) Dirt Dawgs race so far...and that was last summer at our Midwest Nitrocross round at Daves track in Elburn. I never owned a Revo...ran a Hot Bodies Lightning Pro 2 buggy last year.

If I would have known their schedule when I locked in my round 2, I would have done my best to move my race. In all fairness...Lincoln is even farther south than Peoria, which we previously deemed a little too far for this years MWNX series.

Midwest Nitrocross Round 2, Saturday, May 19th @ Thunder RC, Elkhorn, Wisconsin*LOCKED IN*

Illinois RC Pro State Series Round 1, Saturday, May 19th @ RJD Hobbies and Raceway, Lincoln, Illinois

there is a world of a difference between Elkhorn and Lincoln, I don't see it being a prob

Tex, the problem is getting the WI guys to travel. How many have you seen at LH? These guys rarely travel more than 45 mins. to a track. With the exception of LH, all of the MWNX series tracks are within 45 mins. of Bristol.

Don't forget about Dirt Dawgs in Elburn, Illinois ( 2 hours from Bristol ), Rock Pile in Madison, Wisconsin ( 2 hours from Bristol ) and Nitro Farm in Jefferson, Wisconsin ( 1.5 hours from Bristol )

If we get higher attendance numbers this year, maybe we can expand next year to include a few places that are farther like the Peoria Track or up near Green Bay, or out in Monroe. I'm really hoping to see the attendance this year go up slightly. Heck, I'd even be happy to see the attendance stay the same.

I'm hoping we can bank some surplus money this year after all the prizes and stuff is taken care of...so next year we can get that Kenosha County Fair race taken care of.

Matt, Rockpile is 2 hours from Bristol?!!!! Nitrofarm 1.5 hours?!!!!!! The gas pedal is on the right grandpa! LOL!!! We get the Rockpile in less than two hours from Chicago. I guess the Wisconsin guys aren't only slow racers... LOL!!

I live in Kenosha...but once I get on the Interstate...it's about 2 hours to Madison ( going approx 8mph over ) plus then Rock Pile is slightly north of there? Nitro Farm takes me 1.5 hours once I get on the interstate...but I've been told I should be going west then north...not north on the "I" and then west. I dunno...I guess this summer I'll learn some faster routes! I lost my license four(4) times when I was younger...never a bad issue like DUI or anything like that...just 5 years of speeding tickets and being a dumbass I guess Anyway, yes I do watch my speed nowadays. Anybody here ever have to have "SR22" insurance? It's state mandatory insurance for habitual traffic offenders. It stays with you for a long ass time, and it makes your rates like DOUBLE what a normal teenage boy would pay I forget the exact amount but I know I was paying over $275 a month for liability only on a clapped out old GMC Sonoma with a 4 cylinder...I couldn't afford to drive a nice vehicle for years because of my insurance rates.

That's why I left Wisconsin. Too many speeding tickets. The worst was in front of Bradford Highschool with my Pro Street '68 Rambler American, 111 MPH over the speed limit. Sat in jail for that one.

Haha.... that's actually quite impressive.

The IL series comment was nothing to be taken wrong or anything. I guess th
