| I have heard and read lots of feedback about the twelve race rule. Please be aware of the other series within the WNYOA. Consider riding the enduro series! I realize that our younger riders are not able to participate in the enduros, but for any adult riders who have not competed in the enduro series, it may be a good switch and an opportunity to ride some different trail. If your intimidated by the time keeping aspects of the events, join our club and we will help you learn the rules and apply them. We at the Southern Tier Enduro Riders are always looking for new members and we would like to wish everyone good luck towards a safe and fun filled 2008 series. |
| Regarding Terry's (#821) letter with the new change in countable races,10 to 12, I'd like to comment that this change might be a double edged sword. While benefiting those riders that are able to make 12-14 races per year,it really harms those that struggled to make the "10" quota. Most riders out there are competitive in their respective classes, and try to total their points for the best year end class finish, many of whom include a planned race to work. Now that some of us realize we can't make the "12" races,due to time allowed with other requirements during the summer,or even the cost per race (about $400 each race for our 3 rider team,not including bike maintenance or repairs),it really doesn't benefit some to give up all the time to work a race. I know how much time we donate each year to prep our clubs course(at least 8 to 10 trips to the course location,about a 40 mile round trip),work the three day race weekend,and then clean up on a few more nights or weekends after the race when time allows,all to pick up an extra 5 to 15 pts. that won't come into play unless you're able to attend the 12 races. I think with the emphasis being put on getting more people to work a race, this may not work to everyone's expectations. Thanks for past years races and good luck,safe riding and success in the new year. Riders Dan (#478), Nate(183), & Julia(907) |
I know this will prolly not go over well amongst all members...BUT, I also as a member have to address my feelings toward acouple of the rule changes for this year..First off, I agree with the change from being scored for 12 races instead of 10, I have always felt if it is a 15 race season you should be scored for the total 15 race season, thats my feelings, 15 race season ,your scored (TOTAL) on that 15 races, or whatever amount of races you race, no race, no points...My feelings on that..... Another rule change I DON"T like, the 1 per 4 rider award change, I know it saves Promoters alittle money, but did we not just up the entry fee $2 also....What do we as riders race for....fun ofcourse and seeing the friends we have made thru the years as racers each sunday...but come on, as a 44 year old, I still as a competitor each week thought it was still cool as a rider to maybe have a chance at an award too......with the change to 1 per 4 riders award change some of us will not have that award to look foward to after the race...which inturn takes away 1 of the reasons you travel to these great races in the first place...so with the price of gas and the upped entry fee and now less chance of an award maybe being awarded...that starts to maybe not look so appealing to some of our racers...think that may want to be looked at before the start of the season.....(NOT meaning to start a war)

There is only one bad thing about WNYOA Races… they are on Sunday.

| I will start by saying thanks to all who make it possible for our series to continue each year. Many of you make it possible for us and our kids to enjoy a summer filled with racing,camping etc... I have read the rule change, counting 12 races instead of 10. Kudos to all the guys and gals that can make all the races. Due to kids, work, house maintenance & whatever else comes up. I have a hard time making the ten.. I realize I am just one person but wanted to say, I would most likely change from trying to get the 12 races in to picking a few close ones to attend. I know its been talked about in past years. I respect the decision to change this rule. But wanted to let you know my feelings on how it may decrease attendance at some races. Thanks for listening, OPEN C # 821 Terry |
