three-race series at a good part of the year and show everybody what we can
do. Then we will return in 2020 with six to eight events.
Are you making any changes in the format or the way you operate?
One of the changes that we’re going to do is the evening performance. You
and I would know it as a three-moto format. We’re going to call it a triple crown.
The way that it works is the people who qualify in the main event [night] show
for the pro class are going to run three motos. They’re going to hot lap during
the day. Their times will be their pick for the gate in main one. It’s a sixteen-man
starting gate that’s eight up front, eight in the back. Then how they finish in
main one, we’re going to invert them for the second one. When you really start
to think through it, it’s pretty neat. Now you’ve put the fast guys in the back. If
you’re a fast guy you think, ‘I can’t screw up in moto one to try to get myself a
better position in moto two. So I’ve got to win moto one, then I’ve got to deal
with moto two.’ It’ll be really interesting; that will make it very entertaining. Then
moto three will just basically be your results from moto two for gate pick. We’ll
use the Olympic scoring system - whoever has the lowest point total at the end
of the night is going to be the overall winner.
Do you have Shane Schaefer building the tracks again?
Yes. I’ve worked with Shane for well over twelve years at my [Kicker] aren-
across events. Shane does a phenomenal job. There’s no change there; shane is
on board. Mike Hathaway - Mike’s been with him forever. Mike’s on board. Eric
Peronnard, he’s on board. Lance [Bryson] is with Moto America now. I like Lance,
