This event gets better every year! Sign-up was the only problem that I saw.

Trackside scoring and AMA electronic sign-up. move it a couple of weeks later so as not to compete against the Dallas Supercross and may have better weather too.

Thanks Don and Francene for all you do for the sport and the racers. And especially thanks for all you do personally for my wife, Chris and myself.

The facility crew did a great job! Some of the AHRMA crew was great. Some of the AHRMA crew was poor at best. I am a AHRMA supporter but if you can't score a mud race, get someone who can. I don't appreciate traveling many miles only to be told when my score is wrong to forget about it. The Friday feed was excellent! Bring back the Pioneer Women! I shall return!

Additional_Comments:
The track was great! Keep the Friday trials, Saturday vintage, Sunday post vintage schedule. I rode all 3 days. I missed the Pa system you used in 2006. Hearing "it's a beautiful morning" in the rain, in the dark, on Saturday was a highlight!  The showers are great. I shall return! I still need to ride the Train.

Diamond's is the best! I'm critical of nothing! He goes to the extreme efforts to give us the best show in the country. If something needs improvement, someone smarter than I will have to think of it! Thanks for everything Diamond and Francene!

It was a blast, and of course, Diamond Don and staff have no control over the weather or AHRMA rules and regulations, and sign up problems. Loved it!

I especially loved the golfing event--because I won it!

More PA speakers

Additional_Comments:
As announcer, I would like to announce near scorekeepers so I'll have more accuracy. Everything else was great.

I liked the radio broadcast of the race. The announcer should tell which race is on the gate more often. Where to wash the bikes? Practice separated by engine size or skill level. More announcing about where and when for the raffle and door prizes. A different color bungee for the race start. It kind of blended in with the mud.

Additional_Comments:
I will probably be back next year. I don't usually enjoy the mud but, I had more fun than ever at your event. I will recommend it to others. You do a great job!

I thought the facilities were excellent, however the event could benefit with more organization such as sign up and trophy presentation. This is my third event in Jefferson and Don did not let me down but I feel AHRMA could have had it a bit more together.

The AHRMA scoring was a mess! Other than that I would rate the weekend as a 10+.

You guys got it figured out, you go over the top to make this the premier race of the season. Of course I am biased but this is written objectively, you do have the best race and give the most back for the money.

I entered that the Ahrma staff was friendly and helpful because they were, with few exceptions. The exceptions showed some incompetence, but they tried to be helpful and were always friendly anyway.

In my opinion the NUMBER ONE problem with Saturday which affected things all the way down the line was keeping the muddy top section in the course.

The second biggest problem was allowing the race order to be altered on Sunday.

I do not see how things could get any better. No one should ever expect things to go perfect all the time. Now what fun would that be??

Additional_Comments:
In the early Texas spring, all roads lead to Diamond Don's. Thank you for all you hard work and dedication you folks have done over the years. No one should take this event for granted or say anything negative. You people do your very best at all times and no one should expect more. Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to have so much fun.
The thing I learned last time I was there is (some people wait to die to go to heaven, what a waste of time!!)

Let your staff assist the ARHMA staff on sign up and scoring!!!!!!!!!

Additional_Comments:
We had a blast and will do everything possible to be at every event in the future. We'll be up soon to do some shopping and visiting Jefferson as well as ride the train. Both of you guys as well as the staff are the BOMB!!!!!

Hire a better BAND!!!! Just kidding, Richie here with the MotoBand.....
I think overall you do a great job with only doing one race a year there...
The biggest problem is with AHRMA's antiquated sign up and scoring and setting races... Put the race order up and stick to it.. You can't please all of the people all of the time !!!!!!

Remember, this is not AHRMA's race,,,, IT'S YOUR EVENT!!! They just have the rules.. YOU RUN IT YOUR WAY!!!!

Keep up the good work and you KNOW we'll be there for you next year no matter what!!!!

Don, I spectated again this year but they were great races and you did another fine job of running them. I probably over looked, it but I did not see a link for - 2wheelcommunications.com - I just happened to hear them announcing to check there for results at the race. They have a good write up and a spread of pictures. Looking forward to next year. John

Hi guys - great event my hat is off to you. As a past promoter, I know what you were going thru with the uncooperative weather. I just wanted you to know we came from Ontario Canada and though you out on one hell of an event. Your venue is A-1 and will be on our list of must go events from now on. Regrettably my younger brother and I had to blast back to Canada on Sat night. In out haste we forgot to purchase event motocross Tee shirts. I need a double XL and my brother a large. If you still have these sizes left over please let me know and what method of payment you prefer. I have credit cards, paypal or ,US money orders. Please let me know what shits cost with postage if this is possible. This was my younger brothers first AHRMA race and I hope I can surprise him still with a small keepsake of his first race since the 70's. Again thanks Don for a Class A racing event. Your tracks and cross country course rock!!!!! Wished it was a tad dryer but hey that's old style MX for ya! My Can am's usually love the mud but my little Hodaka gave up after 2 laps Had a great time though. till next year.

Hi Folks...
Just a note to tell you how great your event was this past week-end...had it not been for the rain, it probably would have been perfect...the Cross-Country event was very well designed, and passable for even novices (very important to keep the new participants coming to AHRMA events...), and the MX was fun, too...I especially like the "woods" components of the track...

As usual, you did a great job of organizing and coordinating the event, and made my 1100 miles, each way from southwest Florida, worthwhile. With the present fuel prices, I've become very picky regarding the events I attend...and though yours is quite a distance, it's worth the trip...

Francine...as always...you were on top of it all...and more than congenial...and, I especially appreciated my "hug"...even though you were always very busy...

Thanks, again, for everything.

Great job!!!!

Bruce (Clark)
