yah, i drank that Kool-aid too for a while. i've lost all hope with the Pro GRT ever going back to the "NORBA days" as i had originally planned when i started that series. USAC just keeps shooting themselves in the foot and taking the sport backwards in my opinion. Granted many of the races are an improvement this year, there are many that SHOULD NOT be a part of a NATIONAL series. it's not about the quantity of races, but the quality.

uggh...

Soooo.... am i the only one that notices that MSA overlaps the first weekend of Crankworx Whistler?
that means my truck & i will have to stay on the east coast & i'll have to fly my riders to Whistler.. yippie

idiots are making it harder & harder for me to schedule in the US Grand Prix every year!

maybe not.. just heard on facebook from Graeme Pitts mom. this potentially sucks

"JDD - Graeme and Heikki went to the riders' meeting, and that's where they found out that 60 riders would qualify. It was not seeding "

it's only 1 page of 3 it looks like, so he either didn't race (had a crash in practice early in the week) or just off the back. pretty sure it's just "seeding" not quali. but i donno for sure. hope it's just seeding.

Austin Warren had a big crash over the hip. broke his helmet, but he's fine (just sore).

Sweet.. Interbike is Sept 18-20...

Leogang World Cup Finals is Sept 21-22

yep, they will be the same event. apparently the Pro GRT asked if they could utilize the same event. NW Cup guys contacted me & i said it was cool w/ me

We were hoping to have CA, UT, or CO venues as well this year. unfortunately due to certain constraints, it wasn't working out.. so i decided to pull the trigger with 4 venues. Next year should be BIG.. i've already got a dozen venues intersted in hosting an event. I'm looking to make a East coast & West coast mini series for the amateurs (pros will have to do the whole series).

2 of the venues had to drop Super D this year, & we're looking into the others. right now, don't expect there to be Super D on the schedule this year. Disappointing for sure. but this will be a requirement for 2013

i miss damian! get your ass back to the states mate!

already ahead of ya!

Noah,
MTB GP should hopefully be announced next week. i've been holding off trying to get finals in CA, CO, or UT. so far, no luck. Already have about 20 events wanting to be on board for 2013 though! so that's a good sign!!

not sure about in italy, but at least in the US, i think the MTB div supports the MX div (so MTB is bigger)
