I heard from somebody that maybe Judy did something bad to someone at some point, so what do you say we all boycott SMRA? Who's with me? Sounds stupid huh? Well, that's whats going on with Shane at Mustang. People's personal feelings are affecting other people who just want to race at a great track! We are out there w/ our kids to just race and have a good time! It's really disappointing to have your kid practice all week and get excited about a race and have no one else show up. Do you really think Fernly's track is better than Mustang? Give me a break! Especially the kid's track? Fernley's kid's track is 8 ft. wide w/ no jumps, no whoops and nothing technical, how are the kids going to advance when they have NO challenge. Mustang's track is super wide, technical, and safe. So come on and stop the MADNESS! Race Mustang! Instead of Hawthorne! It's closer and A WAY BETTER TRACK! Quit listening to everyone's B.S., Shane has been good to our family for three years! And a lot of OTHER families we know. Shane is the ONLY one who is offering any sponsorship and we feel people are being VERY unfair to him. Please come out and give Mustang another chance and race on SEPTEMBER 12th!

OMG this is the most stupidest thing that I have heard in a long time. Do you really think that Judy has anything to do with people not supporting the mustang track. I seriously don't think so. I'm sure that they all have there own for what ever reasons. SMRA has the sickest series out that i have seen in a while. ( the last time I checked Fernley was not the only track in the series) BOO ON YOU

If I read the first post correctly, I think the author was just using the Judy thing as a hypothetical situation. I don't think he or she meant to suggest that Judy has actually done anything wrong.

You misunderstood,
All we are saying is "Shane" is getting bad mouthed, people aren't showing up at Mustang and people don't even know why? We are just there to race! And to have family fun! Not to get caught up w/ the Political B.S. Yes, Judy is great! We were not saying otherwise. We were just saying that the "talking about people needs to stop!" Race where you want and when you want just show up to all of the races, don't Boycott Shane "just because someone said he did something!" Have a heart and form your own opinions, stop letting other people who are upset w/ Shane make you sway! Get it?
PS, yes I understand Fernley is not the ONLY track in the series, we were just saying what happened this past weekend, that was pretty sad.
Happy Racing:)

I agree. People should go and race where ever they want, regardless of what others say. In mustang's case, I think most people don't go because they've been disappointed in the track one too many times. At least, I've heard that from numerous people, not just a few. For me, it's a whole other story! Hahaha

Mustang needs new/more PR and A LOT of track work, unfortunately both cost money, I'd do both for FREEEEEE (lol) if I could, has potential! Also the price is a bit high for mustang, 45 compared to 35, doesn't sound big but its huge to someone like me;)

I don't go to Mustang anymore because I gave it about a dozen chances, and each time I felt like I wasted my money, the last time I went I didnt even unload the bike, The track was a tiny 1/2 track, muddy and narrow they kept my 20 bucks and I drove down the road to Fernley. I promised myself I would never return to be disapointed again. I was one of those that voted to see it myself rather than base my opinion off somebody elses, but eventually I came to the same conclusion.
"I voted with my feet" as layne would say.

Well in my personal opinion I think you are an idiot!!!!! SMRA is a organization that is here for the riders NOT THE MONEY.... not to mention ive riden mustang a hundred times and EVERY TIME IT WAS THE SAME!!! Rocky and the same track over and over and the guy in the water truck is a complete goof ive been sprayed by that truck more times than track has. THE KIDS TRACK AT FERNLEY IS FOR 50 AND 65 BEG RIDERS ONLY THATS WHY THAT TRACK IS SO SMALL!!!! LISTEN TO WHAT THE RIDERS ARE SAYING!!! WE WILL ALL BE AT HAWTHORNE NOT MUSTANG. I ride sierra for the fact that thats where all the riders are that i llike to race with and the simple fact that it is a family event and i enjoy every track that smra runs with...

IF you havent realized that no riders will show up then open your eyes and race where the competition is. Your kid will only get faster riding with other riders rather than racing themselves.. Good luck

I personally have not raced in a long time. But my son raced his first race ever at Mustang a few months ago. Our experience on that race night was great. My son had the time of his life. I have no loyalty with any track. I have rode Exit 28 many times. Some times the track is awesome. Some times it's less awesome. I guess that's just the nature of the business. You are not going to please everyone, every time. I have heard there is bad blood between certain track owners, ect. But when it comes down to it I think we need to think of the kids coming up in this sport. They need to have options, and a lot of them... My son would gladly race at any track because he just wants to ride. He likes all tracks when they are groomed and watered right... Every track is going to be different. And not every race or practice will have the best grooming possible. But that's dirt biking..... I personally think all the BS is hurting every track in this area. But there is probably a lot more to this story than the average rider wants to know.........

Motoguy1 -
I understand what you're trying to do and what your intentions are - you want more people to show up at Mustang so your son has competition. Legit reason to be unhappy. I'd be disappointed if my kid didn't have anyone to race either. But I believe you went about it the wrong way and you clearly aren't seeing the bigger picture.
One of the main reasons there is never a large turn out for Mustang's races is because Shane always seems to run on the same weekends as other local tracks, SMRA sanctioned race or not.
It's obvious that if you have to go on line, bad mouth a few people and beg for riders to show up then there's something about Mustang and Shane that people aren't happy with. If Shane truly was respectful to people and ran a good track, then he'd have a larger rider base. One person telling another how "bad" of a guy Shane is, is not going to keep hundreds of people from showing up to a Mustang race.
People go to Mustang, experience for themselves and make their own judgment. I can tell you that our family's reason for not supporting Shane is personal. He is a conniving weasel that has completely lost our trust and respect. And opposite from what you claim, very few people know of our reason for not supporting him.
As far as Shane being "the ONLY one who is offering sponsorship" - I think you're a little uneducated in this field of expertise.

I think Mustang can be fun, and has been fun in the past. For me, not my favorite place. Lets face it... the dirt sucks!!! This is my analogy: Its kinda like having a ugly girlfriend. You can dress her up, maybe a little makeup, tight pants never hurts, she might even be fun to ride. But at the end of the day "SHE STILL GONNA BE UGLY" ( try saying the last part like you are from Texas).... Cheers
