This why Maico 400s were made.

@DaveLightsracingstories 3 күн бұрын

I'd have to say after racing against several 490 and 500 Maicos this year. You might be right. They got pulling power.

That's a beautiful track, agreed 100%.

@DaveLightsracingstories 3 күн бұрын

Thats actually the kids track which is fairly big. I thought it was a perfect match. Better than sending them to the big track and destroying their bikes.

Leaving the grass high is horrible for the spectators. You can't see the bikes, you can't see the riders, you can't see the battles. You can only see from the rider's mid chest and upward. Most times you can't even see the handlebars. Last year I left early from two events because there was nothing to see.

@DaveLightsracingstories 19 күн бұрын

All valid points from a spectators point of view. I was out at this track watching my buddy and there was some of what your saying for sure. You kinda had to pick your spot. I don't see it as a problem on the tracks we've been too usually. As a rider it wasn't bad. It definitely helps if the track is on a hill and you watch from the bottom. Good points . Thx for the comment.

@@DaveLightsracingstories Yeah Dave, I have bad knees due to Lyme Disease and was on a walker for 2 years. I am currently a lot better and walking for the most part without any devises, but I can't walk far which limits where I can watch from. Ironically, I can't walk very well but I can still ride! BTW, I love your on-bike videos! Thank you!

Yeah, Ashcrafts was pasture. This was more planted hay style. I like how they just mowed the track. Brian couldn't do that with his unless he planted. Your right tho. Great track.

Dave, What a touching opening to your video. Obviously I didn’t know the man that you are speaking of, but with your words I feel like I did. May he rest in peace. At 59 this August, my friends and acquaintances over the years suffer a few losses every year. It makes you reflect on what you have done and how little time we all have left to get the things done that we haven’t gotten to just yet. Ride on! Mark
