You can blame that directly on mmx themselves. Between them charging a arm and a leg to go there, and basically turning away almost every 4cycle person in the area they have made it well known we are not welcome.
First, let me say I like just about everything about MMX, we have a blast racing our Rotax there, and they do a first class job of running the races and facility. Plus the Juan Taco truck shows up for lunch
It is true that they are clearly anti-4cycle. They use noise as an excuse, but I can assure you the Yamaha cans are much louder than any 4 stroke, and I bet their concession karts are actually louder than most 4 strokes that are raced in Gold Cup.
I also understand why any facility would not be interested in Gold Cup races, because IMHO WKA are the only ones who -may- make $$ on Gold Cup weekends. When our club hosted a Gold Cup event we barely broke even, and we had a ton of free volunteer labor.
I think WKA did a good job with the 2014 schedule and tracks, and on going back to 4 races. I just don't understand why they can't schedule at least 2 races between June 1st and August 1st, when most kids are out of school. It would make things so much easier for parents with kids in school.
