Each class is different. Please see the flyer attached in the first post for your class and the laps for each moto. Most of us try to ride two classes each night. Great Falls is approximately 2mins a lap for pro's. You can judge your speed off of the pro times versus your ability.

Wednesday nite is just around the corner!! Cleanup off the dust, change the filter, fill the tank - let's go racing.
Honestly, a fun class for every rider and ability. Track has some changes, we have been testing them from a week, good reviews so far!
May 18th, 2011. Hope to see you there!

That conflicts with a previously scheduled Helena Wed. night race. Probably won't do either of us much good...

Hey 35.
I understand your concern. Last week, we had 49 riders at the race, 0 from Helena. We love you track, and from what I understand, 3 riders from ECDR attended your race in May. It was heavily considered to cancel this date all together. Ultimately, we figured 25-40 Great Falls riders was better than no race at all. We are not trying to step on your toes, and apologize for the conflict. I hope that the die hard riders from GF and Helena will forgive us. Our events this year are designed to grow the ECDR membership for riders not participating in the HCMA yet, and our work committees.
If you have additional thoughts, I am always open to bringing them to the board for consideration.
Keith

Keith:
I realize there was no one from Helena at your last wed night race. That's very unusual, probably due to the weather forecast. Typically, there is a large contingent of us that make the trip, primarily because we enjoy that event. I understand your hands are tied due to factors outside of your control (weather), I'm just disappointed I won't be able to make your race.
No worries, there will be others.

June 1st Race:
Cross your fingers!!! The rain has stopped, and the Track is wet, a few puddles in the typical places... If the Sun comes out, we will be able to Race tomorrow night. I will keep everyone updated through this site and on our Website.
If you have questions, please let me know.

No excuses local motocross riders!! Helena is perfect, Great Falls is perfect. If you want a fun time, in bed by 10pm, pick a city and show up!!
Helena and Great Falls try very hard not to compete with Wednesday nite events, and for the remainder of the year, we are on different nights.
Good luck to everyone, hope to see you at a track in Central MT!!
