The point is fun and I have just as much fun if not more at a TD. You kiss your sister?? Weird.. Lol.
Let's be honest we can ALL race as much as we want and spend the money but in the end it means just as much as a track day in the end. Unless your rockin AMA folks in the top five you'll spend more than you make any day of the week. And if you head with the right group to a TD minus the starts it's just as fun.
Though I see many complain td's are useless, boring etc.. But yet they are there on the weekends.

then your not riding with the right people.. I've never bitched or moaned about being passed close & if you ride with the right ppl then that can happen because you trust them & know what or how they will handle it.. again i have more fun doing this at track days with my friends and ppl i trust rather than some guy that was just handed a race license because he passed an extremely easy class to obtain one :notsure:

lol yea they are expecting it alright, ask jeremy how much he was expecting to get slammed into because a dude was in over his head.. we have quite a bit of fun out at the TD's and the passing is just as fun if not better

Exactly why I don't race. An I rider admitting he enjoys stuffing just because it's racing.

Yeah, those CR's. They're just in it for the pay.
Back to topic.......
A limitation in this thread is that there's probably A LOT of midwest riders that don't pay attention to the nesba forums anymore.

You are making me blush....I don't stuff people at track days. Hell don't even stuff people during racing unless it is Bill or Joe. I am overly respectful of the other's ability levels or lack there of.j_fuggin_t;255119 wrote: :haha: he's not an

That was a concern I had when I started this thread. That's why I asked for people to spread the word to their friends that might not be on here. Ideally, NESBA could send out an e-mail asking the same question to the Midwest membership to guage their interest/support.
I know there's more to it than just having people interested, but it's an important starting point. You have to have a customer base before any venture can be successful. I just wish I knew what it would actually take, or who I can start talking to (at NESBA, or the tracks) in order to help this process along.
Did we burn bridges last year? I don't honestly know. However, from my years in the Navy Seabees, we could always repair bridges, no matter how many times the insurgents blew them up. Surely we could work on trying to fix things. Maybe it's a lot cause for next year, but what about the year after that? Or, is it just wishful thinking overall?
This thread was not to debate whether track days, or racing, is more useful or fun. It's just to guage who would come back to NESBA. Racing and track days are different, and that's why we each have the freedom to either choose one, or do both. Each one has it's pros and cons.
Carry on...

nk140 is only a NESBA "I" rider because the region folded before he got his bump (though it should have come at the BHF event we attended). I've raced and ridden with him enough to know he is far and beyond a great rider who isn't riding above his head ever.

I think our definition of stuff is very different from what I've seen and had done to me at TD's.
Bill came up the inside of me in one turn that stood me up a little but not any where near what Granzow did to me at BHF on the inside of 4 (turn after the bus top).

And I realize this is going far and beyond but what did you mean by "I rider"? I take it you meant it in a derogatory manner which is uncalled for in respect to his opinion. Maybe we should all post lap times to make our points more valid

So even if there are a lot of people that want to come back, what options remain for tracks? Aren't Gingerman, Grattan, and ACC exclusive with the other major org? Blackhawk now has CCS and JOS filling in our previous events. Putnam and a few Road A weekdays seem all that remain. I thought S** would be sold out with NESBA gone in the MW, but I was at multiple events that were far from sold out this year.

I think ACC is setup with the other org but if Motoseries and WERA can get dates at Grattan and Gingerman I would like to think any group can show up.
