Sharc's house was about a mile from my house and I drive by it 5+ times a week. It's very odd and sad to see someone else living there now.

Who cares who’s aloud to race the vet classes!!! Jesus quit crying about it every year. If you’re a vet rider and trying to qualify for Loretta’s you know you’re going to race ex factory riders!! Sound like a bunch of “snowflakes”!!! Lose weight, train harder!!! If you don’t have time cause you have other responsibilities then you don’t want it bad enough or you’re just not fast enough to beat them, walk away and focus on other things!!! If you’re ok with just making it to the ranch and placing midpack quit complaining!! This comes up every yr, it’s not gonna change!! If you want to win a vet championship at an amateur national, then sand bag and ride a vet b/c class that’s offered at an amateur national!!!

@Toddco327 Did this guy race at crossroads with you?
I am under the impression he has not raced a motorcycle since his parents quit footing the bill. The 'snowflake' term is relevant to our age group.

Yes! Not you, I know your an active racer. Its the non-active setting standard for active. Love these kind of topics for debate. No harm no foul.
It's quite like the topic of - "I use to race A. But took some time off." Did ya? Or did you just realize you weren't actually an A rider at heart and quit when you couldn't win anymore? One good moto doesn't prove you are great. That takes time and that's what these racers have invested in their program. It's not that the average 'vet' guy doesn't want to race them. It's fun as hell to race them, its quite the different feeling to be on the track with 39 other riders who you know have invested their life into this. So, maybe the solution is get rid of the +25 up classes for LL period. We aren't really amateur's anyway are we? Isn't that the heart of the argument - Why are ex-professionals competing in a amateur event.
The LL program has been around long enough to show that it attracts repeat customers, (I.E. people coming back with their younger generations of racers) But, its the same people. (pit coming back now, saying nothing has changed). WE need more new racers if you want cheaper facility costs. More people footing the bill will lower the overall cost per person. But that doesn't ever happen. It's the same thingggg on repeat for more money.
Ezra made a nice post, clarifying his DNS = Family first.

And he happened to post a pic on the gate when I lined up next to him. Lol. It was classy of him to do what he did. He also insinuated he had no intention on racing 2 classes at Lorettas, so he didnt want to take a ticket from someone else actively trying to make it by racing the 3rd moto.

Right about there is where i blew it in every start. Lol
I met arledge100 when i took Dakota to east bend in nc over spring break. He lives near there. We obviously ended up in the same classes, then after our trip we stayed in contact. We pitted together at red bud because there was a chance he was gonna be solo if his dad didn't come up. Great dude and he puts a ton of effort in. Were similar in speed so were always somewhere around each other on the track too lol.. Hes been a tic in front of me.
The best part about this sport aside from physically riding is the people you meet. He now has a place to stay in ohio and we have a place to stay in NC.
