Tough blocks have got to go Second or third time this year they have been pulled / knocked out into the first turn. They have been foot peg bitters on take offs and caused injuries.
This again goes back to reinvesting or even caring about the sport. AMA and Feld only care about the number of membership and butts in the seats.
One fat guy in Ohio can identify tough blocks ar causing issues but the people in charge of the “show” can not?
Well here you go. Stop using hay bale sized blocks.... use something about the size of a parking spot bumper things. Or lower.
They will hate this idea BECAUSE bales are a massive profit stream. All that advertising and no need for the expense of making an actual commercial. I can hear their sales people now.
Use the bale sized blocks in areas to protect the riders. Poles, equipment, line the concrete walls with them. Next to the track use something a lot lower. 4 inch high max. If it gets pulled out in the track then it is easily riden over.
