We should give them their "Own" moto.  Some of the younger 30+ dudes get pretty aggressive.  NESC double gates the 50+ with the 30+ sometimes and it kind of blows.

i saw that too and was like... really? just dotn knwo why they would put em with the 30+? wouldnt the 40+c be better.. or closer to age? or is it that the 50+ can run the 40+ also??? if they double gate it.. that would be better. either way im not worried about.. just thoght it was odd?

thats my .03 cents worth. (gotta get one up on d-rock)

The thinking on that decision was that they would be double gated and the 50+ guys should be able to handle working their way past the 30+ kids because they have way more experience!!

At HMXP our best is the least we can do.

kids?? is the 50+ gate first or second? and if you dropped em with the 40's couldnt they handle that too?? can we work on any other double gates too... how about the 50cc 4-6 and the 7-9???

There is always some guy, who wont eat red meat, works out, and is in awesome shape, with talent. Then we'll find some guy's who want a thrill, and get the balls to race at a later age, more power to them,but the 30+ C (second gate drop) is the most logical place for them. Keep in mind that if your at that age and racing, you should have some sense of respect for the danger and your fellow riders well being.You do have to go
