Why did they take it down after CCS left on Sunday? This is the first time I've heard of Nesba not having out on Main since it was available.
Even though NESBA ran the day, Coleman Power Sports allowed riders to sign up with them and riders could sign up in any group. So what you say does not surprise meChrisk;286350 wrote: Now the bad...Way too many people in the "I" group, the starter counted 75 bikes at one point before the second session ( I thought NESBA had a 40 person limit per group?) it was just plain unsafe, half those people should have been in "B". I saw multiple people almost stopping in the middle of the corner. There were still people coming out of pit out as I came around on my first lap! Lots of crashing, probably from the numbers in the groups and people pushing too hard. So much crashing that the whole schedule got out of sync. I ended up getting bumped to "A" right after lunch ( thank you to Steve Broadstreet !) which allowed me to enjoy 2 sessions in the afternoon but never got shivered one at the end of the day due to crash cleanup. Did only 5 sessions all day, the first 2 were a joke in "I".
I know that to stay in business NESBA needs numbers at the track, without that they are losing money every day. I believe that partnering with local dealers will bring interest from new riders to try the track and that is a good thing, but there has to be a happy medium. I just hope that there were some lessons learned from this experience that will not be repeated in the future.
Yup. That's a real problem. 75 riders in I? If that number is accurate, that's insane. NESBA never used to allow overbooking like that. And no airfence? That's a shame...R1Baby;286360 wrote: Even though NESBA ran the day, Coleman Power Sports allowed riders to sign up with them and riders could sign up in any group.

I agree with the necessity of it but don't think it has to be an "evil." It's an opportunity for the club to display it's commitment to safety and organizational capabilities. Those could have come across much better Monday. I'm still kind of shaking my head about the lack of airfence, particularly in light of recent efforts to raise money for it elsewhere; if correct, it's kind of amazing to think one guy's retirement can bring the whole thing to a stop; hopefully he gets replaced soon. At least I avoided any bad outcomes and know to skip these events in the future.Mikey75702;286494 wrote: But it does seem to help with financials, so it's probably a necessary evil.
