First of all Nothing against Reynard or the track(the track is normally sweet)  but Saturday was crazy and unsafe in many ways.... This was a OSCS discission to race Saturday and Sunday. I am sure that I wasn't the only parent that felt like the OSCS made us go against our better judgement in letting our kids ride/ race Saturday under the conditions that we did...When the track is frozen over, wind chill in the single digits  and kids can barely hold on to their bikes, we as parents were put into a bad situation. With no drop rounds this season, this puts alot of pressure on the parent when the racer wants to race no matter what the circumstances are for the points. This isn't a punt against the OSCS, but only a statement that you have to make better decisions for the safety and well being of our riders. I was very surprised of the turn out Saturday, meaning more were there than I figured due to the weather. But I am still left to wonder if the better dicission would have been to post-pone the race a week or two??? I have never witnessed a situation like this in the state series before and hope that better decisions are made from here on out.... The OSCS has a great series with a few great tracks and I for one want to see this continue while making this sport as safe and fun but yet competitive for years to come.

That's why we didn't go Mike, we felt like the conditions were unsafe and chose to stay home.  Ultimately you have to make the call...

There's plenty of other races we can attend but wanted to do state series!! Sorry for my rant but I'm one upset dad!!

First off I would like to say that  even though we made the trip to race at Reynard like most I was also disappointed that the round was not postponed.  I was suprised to see the good turn out. But next time there is a chance of bad weather coming in and I know it was known in plenty of time I hope the OSCS will use there better judgement.  I personally know of one rider that rolled his pickup on the trip home due to the heavy snow I am kind of curious to know if there were anymore accidents I hope that everyone else made it home safely.  Hope to see everyone at Watts with better weather ahead for a great season.  I hope that the OSCS is reading the concerns and will decide to give us one drop this year to help out with the riders that were smart enough to not be miserable and for the ones that cant make all 9 rounds.

Well  i for one would not be happy if they decided to now give a throw out.  We traveled a long way to come because there weren't any throwouts.  If you do that now you are just punishing the ones that did come and rode in the elements.
