Does anyone think that with talk of rescheduling the SX races still (which would mean outdoor MX is off) that Racer Productions isn't looking for a way to suck all the money they can out of us all still no matter what the timeframe is???? SX is not their deal but they are tied to outdoor MX, so if SX takes all the professional money out there for the year.............. that leaves Amateur MX as the next best thing!!!!

Push the regionals into July. There is about a one month buffer til the Ranch as it is. Bump the regionals back a month if you have too. Or as mentioned, run super regionals or two regionals per region, or possibly condense down the areas to a couple weekends taking the top 20 from each weekend to the regionals.

Plan A = what we are in now.
Plan B = must be racing by May, Regionals pushed back a bit.
Plan C = area qualifiers scrapped entirely, each region has 3 "Super Regionals." One for Youth, one for amateur, one for VETs.
Plan D = area and regionals scrapped. Lorettas week changed to 2 week format, one week for youth, one week for amateur. Qualify at the ranch.

Loretta’s is a huge money maker for all involved. We constantly complain about not having a place to ride. With that said taking out of areas and possible regionals would hurt the track owners a lot. A weekend of riders and fees might be a make a break type of event for the year. Tractor payments. Insurance. Etc doesnt stop. The events them itself is needed. Imagine taking 600 riders and 3000 spectators away from a track for a weekend. This could get hairy.

Showing up to qualify in would be brutal.
I wonder what the numbers would be like?
I have to think any of these options would be way harder to qualify in than the traditional AQ-RQ-Ranch.

I think plan C is actually a great idea. This would give 3 tracks HUGE turnouts in each region. Of course I would hope that they are ALL on the same weekend and would keep people from running several regionals. Of course that will not happen as they want as much $ as possible.
plan D would be a nightmare. IF you can get everyone in that place that would want to come, how in the hell would you get everyone out and the next group back in? This would also takeaway the “feel” of Loretta’s. The 3 moto’s over 4 days would be very clunky as there would be a lot of start and stops. Not moto’s every 30 minutes.
no matter the format, this will be a year like no other. This would be my first year of eligibility for the 50+ class and hearing anything about LL makes you really want to go. Unfortunately I am fat and don’t have a bike so it’s not an option for me. But no matter how old you get (or out of shape) it’s hard to resist the draw of a chance to win that damn race.
Hey, if they do plan d then more Ohio riders will actually get to race. Of course they still wouldn’t make the main. But at least they would get the chance to go.
Side note. Anyone remember the guy that use to be the head flagged? The dude had a handlebar mustache.... what was is name?
