that dude Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 malvern was always a fun track, i heard it changed owners within the past few years, and its better than ever? any thruth to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsjbyz22 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah the track is great. The new owners are really cool and are quad guys so Im a fan. They are running the motos now where the quads are all first one week or last the next week, so no one can complain about ruts. They started putting jumps back in finally.I will try and get some pics tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that dude Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 dot he kleins own it now?..quads always killed the tracks, why you goto ama tracks if you can. they typically dont run them both on the same day, or even at all..cra needs to follow suite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsjbyz22 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Killing the track???...Please. The AMA D12 decided to drop quads from there schedule. You should check out the D12 schedule this year...Oh wait there isnt one because there was no more rider turn out.Any track owner who takes 15 minutes to do a little track maintenance doesn't have a problem with quads on their track.I never understood why a dirtbike rider has such a hard time riding the same motocross track as a quad? No one has ever really given me an answer on that other than there mangina is bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandsjbyz22 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 But I paid the same money as you did to ride motocross...not dirt bike cross.But I will whole heartly agree with you on splitting the days up, and have had this conversation repeatedly with some CRA track owners, but it is not profitable from a dirt bike only or quad only day in Ohio. Amherst Meadowlarks tried it and it failed.I am currently working with a few track owners like amherst, malvern, and briarcliff to have a series like the PAMX where there is a full dirtbike series and full quad series.

ousley99 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Quads create a much wider rut and generaly when coming out of corners will be sliding sideways, therefore making the ruts impossible for a bike to follow. Not only did I race pro for many years, including malvern in my amature days, but I own 2 tracks and the maintaince isn't worth the time and effort for 2 quad classes when there are 28 bike classes..I'm not against quads, jus not a fan of them on the same days as ama races..district 12 was always a joke anyhow so any rider there complaining was just whining bc they couldn't make the nationals from dist 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the shitters had been cleaned in almost two years. I believe they went thru a divorce so that didn't help matters much...Honestly I'm not to familiar with D11. But the CRA tracks are getting close to 12 motos of quads now. That's alot of money to turn away for some whining, AND if you do like malvern is now, all quad motos first one race and last the next race.Willy Browning, Jeff Gibson, Zach Ames, and Mark Burkhart all love BriarCliff, and some quad loving guy owns that place...

sandsjbyz22 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I am for seperate days. Quicker days, no complaining from quads or dirtbikes, but unfortunatly most of the tracks don't want to do it. It is working out great in PA though with the PAMX series...
