could - we’ve got people out working trying to get us a TV deal. If it comes to-
gether, great. If not, then we’re going to try look at some type of live feed, wheth-
er it’s Facebook or something like that.
Talking about the amateurs, the racers you want to draw in, are you mak-
ing any changes to the classes?
Looking right now, again going with just the three-race series and we’ve got to
get out and prove ourselves, we’re going to stay close to home. There’s a women’s
class and the over 35 is a great class as well. Of course the amateur intermediate,
that’s your bulk. The expert rolls into the pro class. Then the club class. That’s for
the guys, the normal Joe that maybe doesn’t fit into the over 35 but isn’t an ex-
pert-level rider. These club guys can get together and have their own class. I need
to live it this year and then wrap my head around it and look for next year to try to
grow the competitor’s side of it. I think that needs to happen.
What kind of numbers were the EnduroCross events drawing for the last
few years?
It seems that last year they got serious about putting butts in seats. It seems like
before that they didn’t care. I followed [the attendance numbers a little]. They’re
in the same buildings, same markets I am (as an arenacross promoter). I’d look in
there and think, you just don’t have a lot of people there.
We’re always still looking for more sponsors to come on. We’re getting ready to
have a press release with the ones that we’ve got already. n
