this makes me laugh.... people that didnt even race, are bitching about it. don't you think that if the Hemond family could wave a magic wand and it changed everything they would? of course!!! if you really think that Serae is sitting at home counting piles of cash.. rubbing her hands and saying yes.. yes.. my plan worked great!!. i think not. that family loves the sport just as much if not more than us riders. does anyone know where the 10,000 buck came from for the pay out??? it didnt come from sponsors.. it came from the hemond bank account. yeah we are all pissed... yeah we are all dissapointed. i got 6th after slidding out in the new section up top. so no trophy or plague for me... so yeah i am pissed and dissapointed too, but im not blaming anyone but myself and the weather. as you noticed.... its pretty late sunday or early monday.... my point is take some time and think about it before typing on here. yeah maybe the site laps sucked on sat.. but the whole thing wasnt the hemonds fault... thats my 2.67 cents 
I said I wasnt bitchin but am troubled by the trend of rain cancellation!!! Im not sayin it again. If you read all the posts I think that most of the guys that are unhappy were supposed to race but were not given the choice. So maybe your right, people that didnt race are bitchin' because they didnt get to race!! Matt |

| beleive me.. i'm very upset about the past weekend. all i wanted to do is ride my bike and get some good laps in. i was looking forward for this race for a long time. i wanted to race too.. even if it was raining buckets. but i just wanted to voice out that it wasnt the track owners fault. maybe things coulda ran smoother on sat.. or faster?? but the rain was bad, it woke me up sat night. i too was glad to know it was overwith.. cuz i was gettign cold and wet and cranky i hot shower and a nap is was i needed, and got. i hope next year the weather goes in our favor.. i mean how long did we go with rain. now it rains every day??? maybe since the race is postponed next week..... and the hemonds are going away.. they could get the staff together and hold an open practice... free for NEC racers only :-) now that would be sweet

| | I think the voting system is flawed. All of the people I spoke with were dissappointed not to have the opportunity to continue racing. I was not racing Sunday b/c I banged my shoulder up a little, but I was prepared to get wet and muddy helping my friends race the mud. I know the big track was in really bad shape. I heard one person have a good idea about switching everyone to the old track for short shootout type motos. I don't think we should vote, I think the promotors should do everything possible to finish the races somehow. Most people don't look forward to racing in the mud, but many times it's the race you remember and look back on fondly. Mx is not NASCAR, it's about racing in all conditons. This vote system is not going to help grow the sport in Maine. If riders think races will get cancelled because of rain, they are not going to show up on Sunday. It's Summer in Maine, there's a chance of rain almost everyday!

| i agree i think the promoters should have finished the day instead of asking us if we wanted to finish there should be no question if we wanted to finish. the entry fee says no refunds but it doesn't say anything about if they cancel. We left hemonds and went to mx207 on the way home they had a four wheeler race there. they said it pour there too. but they still kept it open and after they let a few races out the track was dry. if we would of ran the big track yesterday there would of been only one line around the track bt it would of still been fun. I think they should give us an open practice to make us happy. I only got 2 out of the 6 motos that i was supposed o get. i love riding in the mud because im good at it. ANd im sure a lot of other people are too.

| All I have to say right now is that we did the best we could with what was delt us. You will be hearing more from me later, I am absolutely sick about what people are writing on here. We thought that it should be up to the riders wether or not they wanted to continue, that is why we gave them the choice. The majority ruled. 
At HMXP our best is the least we can do. |

| | the only thing i don't like about that, was that it was kinda obvious that the majority that ruled was spectators, which of course are going to want to leave rather than stand in the rain and watch people ride dirtbikes. i only saw like one person with their gear on in the whole group inside. you guys did the right thing, but i don't think enough time was given for riders themselves to get down to the meeting, rather than the people who were already in the area that just walked a few steps over. the track was trashed but i've seen and ridden much worse and it would have gotten much better within a few motos. still, i totally understand why everyone on here's pissed off about not being able to ride more than one of three motos, if I was riding I would have felt exactly the same.

We thought that it should be up to the riders wether or not they wanted to continue, that is why we gave them the choice. The majority ruled. but the majority were not riders!! but i think it shouldnt have been up to us. it should be up to the reff and the track owners. dont give us the chance.. make the choice for us. cuz i voted.. and still lost. so whats the point. either way you cant change it and it is what it is. i hang my heaf saying damn.. that weekend kinda sucked, but what can we do about it... other than bitch on here. the weekend wasnt the best... but it wasnt the fault of Serae, the Hemonds, or the workers.... just mother nature, that bitch!!

| Everyone that voted to cancel was parents or spectaters. and the riders who voted to cancel aren't die hard motocrossers. I think the only people who should of got a vote was riders not parents or spectators.
