HaHa. Dan has a bad ass ride for sure, but I guarantee he is spending and has spent more than most MXrs with what he is doing! I have drag raced and spent a s**t ton of money in MX with my son.. neither are cheap hence why we aren't doing either any longer!

Everyone would like to see more Mitchy's and wants their kid to be a Mitchy; he is an awesome rider. Out of the top 25-30 kids in the 65 class right now, Mitchy is 1 of 3 or 4 that goes to school everyday in that list! All the others are home schooled (and ride almost daily) and most live in...

Yes it will be very small.. But remember, outside of the West Coast riders IMO it is like a mini LL except in some classes there will be 70+ riders and you have to qualify for the gate spot. You have riders ranging from Key West, FL to MA & Texas and all the states in between coming to Red Bud...

Generally, if you're serious about LL stuff, you will chase big gates. CTMX events are becoming well known for the events and gates, I have heard from several out of state racers that I know are coming.. I think the Motoplayground #1 track in Ohio draws some attention as well... We were in...

Georgie, if this guy can't weld it no one can. He is also in North Royalton and his name is George too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Frame-Oddities/111085058954172

IIRC, didn't mxsports also change the number of entry positions around this year? So it used to be 7 for mid-east and surrounding regions but this year it is only the top 6 positions, then added those entry positions to the Western regionals? Maybe that is why Cali number all of the sudden...

John, I don't know what anyone else spends.. But a KTM 50 new costs 3k-5k (which is crazy to me) . .. Then parts out the wazoo because they break all the time.. With going down south a few times and winter I put almost 21k Miles on my truck for moto last year... at around $3.50 a gallon for...

As a newbie type dad to the sport (i never rode). My son's last year on 50s was last year, he has now been riding for 2 years... IMO the limiting factor is TIME and Expense. For me to take Jr. to practice once during the week its minimum 45 minutes one way, and probably easy 2 hours one way to...

Someone sent me this a bit ago...Here is what it looks like right now....

Here is another one on OSU campus. Looks like catering from $19-$30 dpending on what you want....The big ballroom is $5250. So for 1k people that would be roughly $42-$44 per person cost..? (no tax or alcohol included. Also it appears 20% included on top of bill?).. Not sure on Hotels close etc...

Not Sure on catering prices, but this place has seating at tables for 1250 plus a bunch of other room etc. http://www.sawmillcreekresort.com/public/business/conference-facilities.cfm

Colubmus Renaissance is big and has rooms to stay in... https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cmhbr-renaissance-columbus-downtown-hotel/

I was at Chillitown and overhead a parent in staging telling another about his sons new helmet and how he bought it one size to big so his son can wear it longer.....I almost said something but didn't want to start trouble.. I don't know if people are really hard up for money or are they just...

LOL. Hey i have two 2013 50s for sale if you can use one, I will make you a good deal!!

Yea mx is definatley cheaper. My little guy has two expensive bikes but in the grand scheme its no where near the expense....I guess it also depends on your program too. I came from Drag Racing...Racing a sportsman class and traveling was 40k-50k a year expense assuming normal wear and tear...
