| I don't think anyone said anything bad about what you guys do or your track, it is one of nicest places to go to. I think we were just saying it wasn't good to cancel sunday.

| | GREAT JOB HEMONDS FAMILY!!!! I can only hope they want to continue building this event each year! I can't believe the work that gets done between each race we attend there the Place is a First Class Facility one of the best in the States (and yes I have been to all of the National Tracks in the US of A) and this one rates right up there with the best!!! 5 stars from me! For the people who are whining on here about the money they have spent..........well we all have spent a lot of money to attend, it isn't cheap anymore and since when has any racing sport been cheap even when I was racing in the 70's and 80's it cost me most of my paycheck each week to attend but having looked back on it I never regretted it even when races were canceled because of bad weather....oh yes they did cancel races back then! And stop your bitching about not getting all your races in because back in the 70's and 80's in NESC you could travel all the way from Northern Maine to Southwick to race and have to run qualifiers just to get to do your motos so if you didn't finnish good in your qualifier or LCQ you got to do 3 maybe 5 laps and go home not having even ridden a Moto..........as for the people who say they are not going back to Hemonds MX park.......to bad your LOSS! I would have loved to race at such a fine facility that has HOT showers........how many tracks in New England have that........after a long day of racing or out being on the track like I am it is nice to ride home cleaned up.........Clara and crew in the concession stand do a great job every weekend we are there....putting up in the cold and heat in that kitchen isn't any party but they are there every morning that I climb out of bed and want one of those MX moto muffins.......Porta potties that are pumped out every day of the 2 and 3 day events and they offer to pump your motor home, wow what a service!!!............... Oh and the barbeque for $5 ribs, chicken, and corn on the cob.........name me one restaurant that you can get that at todays prices oh ya Kudos to Rosco for braveing the cold and rain to do that for us he is fired up for next year already,, wants to run that special all day woo hoo! DJ one night and a Band for Saturday night all for the price of your ticket. I understand everyone wants to race and no one wants to be called a Sally but they did everything possible to run the Classic in a professional manner and the rain gods didn't cooperate....get over it and get your entry in for next year because even with all the bashing being done the Hemonds will step up to the plate and continue to produce some of the best motocross on the east cost because of the love of the sport from the Hemonds family is why we have this excellent facility. Also another KUDOS to the moto x families who were there all week working to make this an event that all of us Motocrossers in the state can be proud of and the refs who showed up to help!

| | I'm not here to complain but what I would like to know is what is a "riders meeting?" is it only for the riders to decide if the race is to be cancelled or everyone. Again not to complain we were almost to the tall grass in the field towards the track and when the announcement was made that there was going to be a meeting we did not hear the announcement, so there were quite a few riders who did not get the choice to vote or spectators if they get to vote. We do appreciate the hard work everyone does for this race track but you do have to understand where some of these riders are coming from |

| alright theresa. i just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't bashing you, mike, serae, or anybody else. you guys have one of the best tracks around, and i was impressed with the stuff that was done in preparation for this weekend. it seemed perfect until sunday was cancelled, which obviously some people are going to be angry about. I just think that there should have been a different approach at the problem of how the races are going to go down, rather than just do we want to cancel or not. Next time I think you guys should just try to figure out a different way to go about it rather than cancel, because everybody I know was really disappointed about not being able to ride. The track looked terrible but if the dirt is there, it's ridable. My first race ever was with MMS at Valley a couple years back and the track was definately muddier than that, and I loved every second of it.
If people don't wanna ride on a muddy, rough track, then you either don't have the heart to be a racer, or you should just grow a set and get out there and ride, not vote to cancel it.
I love you guy's track, and I hope you don't think I started this topic to get these replies from people, if anyone should be upset with anyone, it should be the ones who didnt get to ride against the ones who decided they wanted to go home and watch tv , or take a nap instead. This is motocross after all.

| also, i've worked with a friend at another track around here plenty of times and the past and I know the hard work that goes into the track and entire facility to get ready for a regular race, nevermind a race with that many people. I just wanted to say you guys did an awesome job getting setup, and an awesome job throughout the weekend.
good job.

I dont care if every person on this earth hates me after this.but. screw every rider that has complained about our track. i dont know i you have ever payed any attention while you were at our sign up trailor..but theres a nice little saying about an old man a young boy and a donkey. read it next time you come up..if its in your tight budget or one way mind. moral of the story is..you cant please everyone..no matter WHAT you do. and just so everybody knows..my parents have put their retirment money into this business. over $600,000 ok? does anybody understand that..retirement money. my parents are both self employed and i dont know about everybody else but its not an easy lifestyle. my mother...Serae..she works her *** off to keep this place runnig. if she wasnt a part of our businesses there would be no such thing as Hemonds moto-x park. she holds this place together 100%. yes i live under my parents roof. i work for both of my parents 7 days a week. i see the hard VERY hard work that goes into our businessES our FIVE businesses. and not to mention my BROTHER. HELLO??? has anyone ever met him..well his names Micheal Hemond. hes 23 years old. works about 100+ hours a week. barely has time to spend with his girlfriend or his family. Every second of daylight usually sees my brother on the track. Im not sure if anyone noticed the fact that we now have the biggest track on all of the east caost? yes please thank my brother for that.....he deserves it. My sister too...shes works 5 days a week here at the track...she has 2 very young children and a husband to care for..yeah i know she should be able to do it all..just like everybody else in the world. and lets see..im part of the family too. i dont really do much not going to lie to any of you. but the emotional stress of living under this roof...none of you have any idea what its like NONE OF YOU. i work for my dad during the week running after parts..yes easy job..i work at the track on the weekend and during the week if it needs my help. my job at the track is the starting gate. would you like to deal with all of the people that have made posts on here...or allthe parents that try ripping your head off because youre the colosest person to them at the time? no i dont think you would. my job isa little stressful. and you know what..Ive learned not to take ANY **** from the riders. or their parents. rather than the majority of the people on this rediculous post bitching...they should be thanking my whole family for putting their LIFE into this business..nevermind the money that all of you think we have tons of. NOW how about everyone that has bitched about the way we run our business goes to another track...goes to another state...goes to another organization...go ahead...race there for a year...come back and tell us what you think. as far as i know and from what ive heard we have the best racing facility in all of New England. take a look around. what other track has perfectly groomed grounds...grass parking(and plenty of it)..water hookups..undercover area to watch the races..full time employees working all week everyweek to keep the place looking as good as we can make it..can somebody tell me who has all of that?...oh and not to mention we're trying to open a restaraunt...which will cost more money...that we have tons of according to some of you imbeciles. does anybody realize how much it costs to run this place. if we were in it for the money we would have quit the day we started. were in it for the love of the sport and the people(usually). Oh and not to mention the riders meeting we held to decide if we were to run or not. I was there..in the flesh with my eyes open. and guess what...over 70%ofthe people there were RIDERS not spectators like you know it all riders have been saying. Ok..if somebody is wearing their street clothes that means theyre a spectator not a rider. because when you ride you must wear your gear ALL day. hello have you ever done that? no its nice not to have to wear your gear all day. there were plenty of peole down there without gear on that were riders.how do i know that? i have to see every face that rides a dirtbike when they get onto the starting gate. now a note to the genral public: go ahead and try to bash my family again. because as you can see it really pleases me. not to mention my mother father sister and brother. come on over the month before the next new england clssic. take my place if you wish. i just would like you all to see what it takes. and how to deal with my parents in a VERY VERY high stress environment. and yes i have thought about everything i said in this post..unlike some other posters. think |
