2023 MERP Grand-Prix Series

Grears will bring 500+ entries......

I agree with that.
Just need to make sure he gets water on the moto parts of the track. Main track plus the big turn track and mini tracks. It was way to dusty to be enjoyable and almost dangerous as you couldn't see in front of you during the race last year.

No turn track this absolutely no turn track this year. Nope nope nope.

We’re going to be working closely with Grears to make sure we have water down and touching up between motos.

Why is that? Logan liked it.

I love riding it it’s just so hard to keep up with water. Unless rain helps us out I don’t see us running it.

Okay. I know Dave had plans of getting water back to it, when I talked with him a week or so ago.

Ahhh well if that’s the case that could change things. We’ll be rolling down there here shortly with saws in hand so we will have a better idea soon what the course is going to look like.

Also the pit bike or trail class during the 2pm race is for what ages?

Logan wants to ride a pit bike class, with his buddy that has an xr100, who hasn't raced at all. Doing the 8am pitter with the adults, then 9am 65 is a lot back to back.

Our Pee Wee classes are getting reworked between now and Grears

That will be on the shorter course - and we are going to add some ages to those classes. We have pdubs out there so I don’t think we can have it wide open to all ages.

I’ll let you where that goes and the website will be updated accordingly.

Need to have a meeting with the guys and get that hashed out.

How in the heck did this series get to popular so quickly? There's moto tracks out there that would be ecstatic to have that kind of turn out.

Leadership.

Photos are in the process of uploading. I know I got some adult class photos but mostly focused on the youth.

We had to break down C class into 3 rows of 30 riders…..plus a row of 31 sportsman riders.

 

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

How did you score them?

 

[Jack Bierbower]

How did you score them?

Same way gncc does - start each row then the scoring software adjusts to create an overall list.

 

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

So each line is its own race then, the fastest time is the over all winner?

As I understand it the first line goes off at 11:00 - then 30 seconds later the second line. So at the end of the race the second line gets that 30 seconds “back” and that determines where they finish. It’s adjusts based on the start time for each row.

 

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

Makes sense.

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

I think that’s the best part about these. Is multiple classes on the track at the same time. Racing the course becomes its own thing.

That never would work in moto with kids and stuff. But damn how cool would that be if it somehow

Right, there is anyways some one to race or battle with or latch on to.

Zach Peters impressed me a lot this weekend. Looking at my video footage he wasn’t anywhere near top 5 at halfway - he latched on to Andy France and Andy drug him around the woods for a few laps then Zach took off to grab a podium spot.
