Have you ever thought of what Andy and his family have to sacrifice to run MWXC? They certainly don't do it for the money.
Land owner meet and greet Gas only to drive $60.00
Time they spend just to find the land $150.00
Getting track ready layout 40 hrs $1,000.00
Remember they have to take off work!
Gas for chain saw and bring trailer $300.00
pay sign up people and track workers
I would guess it takes 7 of them $700.00
Insurance $1,200.00
maintenance $300.00
track markers $200.00
total $3,910.00
130 rider turnout $4,500.00
There not getting rich, but I will tell ya one thing Andy loves to see people smile and have a good time, and if he can make a little money Great... I'm sure I have overlooked some cost, but my point is Support MWXC on the site and the land the provide us to race on..
Just Think About It,would you give as much time as Andy and crew does and NOT RACE....

i read somewhere that feed back is welcome on forums.
well,i`m trying to help,same as i helped this series years ago with feed back and i advertised on forums.
it was 30 bikes,now 75.u all can thank me by keeping ALL bikes coming back for more.
it`s not all about 4 pro riders.it`s about getting new riders in a beginner class riding a course that is rideable .there is where ur money comes from.
you could have a tax write off buy giving military
riders a $5 discount.they risk their life for nothing.

i agree with tree a discount for service guys and make courses for mid level riders so what if the fast guys do more laps itll still be a challenge for them theyll be going faster through stuff and have to dodge the lapped riders but the first 2 races werent bad just the weather screwed us and there is nothing that can be done about that and like someone else said that when you pull up and people are getting pulled up to a parking spot with a tractor its gonna be muddy itll get better itll be really dusty then everyone will complain about that cant wait to hear it see you there

Gary just because some one owns a graphic design company doesnt mean printing is free. You think I own $50K worth of equipment, nope. Everything we print and I mean everything has to be paid for. The only advantage we have is I do the design work and prepare the files free.
Has for cost of a series there is such much people have no clue. Anybody that starts a series thinking they are going to make a lot of money is going to be disappointed. As a series gets bigger, cost go up.
