Great video, my take on the low grids for Fab this year is the awkward calendar and no central tracks, just really far away. The good showing at practice days prove people are riding and the decent grids at Stretton are a good indicator too.
Yeah agree with Will here. Where we live isn't the best location for any track really (except Ellough). But there are sooo many kart tracks everywhere but only a small fraction allow bikes. I think a lot of people struggle to commit whole weekends + maybe a Friday to racing aswell with lots of gaps between sessions with so many other classes. Which is why Stretton grids are still strong, less classes and combined into 1 day. So maybe adding a Saturday/Sunday option only for FAB would help ? I think BMB already do this. Also for me personally, it's easier to commit to it if I can mask it up to the missus as a "weekend with the family" but we have a dog... which is another hurdle to overcome.
Brill vid mate, yeah just on numbers, 2 year back with nora it was 2 days (only 1 day pointed) for 120 entry with 15 to 20 min races, now its 1 day and 10 min races, a think with everyone have to watch the coin abit more now people have dropped from doing championships but still want to get out on the bike so a practice day every now aand again with no commitments suits also alot more time on the track for alot less, only way the championships can get numbers a think is make it cheaper with abit more time on the track but that depends on profits n how much there wanting to give up
Good, I dear, bud, yes, I will put that on my list of videos to do It will be basic tips though, as to do it in fine details I need you on track with me so I can see where you are going wrong, but if you want to set a date and a place we could always do that !
@@Pitbikesonic76 yeh sounds good every little helps tbf. i would take you up on the offer but i can count on one hand the amount of times i’ve actually been out on tarmac/track riding so at the minute i just need to ride the bike, i’d like to do that hot laps challenge you do i think that would be perfect if we was to do something like that!
Still haven’t finished building our pit bike yet but hope to get it to at least a track day or two this year. Not sure which championship to go for next year with my son, BMB or FAB but we’re Bristol based so it doesn’t appear to be the best location…
more track time on track days your their thursday working people cant afford to be their two days before a meeting your their all day for two races kids get bored they want to race

Fab will be back at whilton next season, hopefully that will help

@@onthethrottle9230 definitely agree with the option of a cheaper ‘Sunday only’ entry. Thet would attract more riders I’d reckon
Don't quit! Come and convert to Mx 😜 numbers are doing really well at Minicross Nationals championship
I'll never quit 😆 but I do need come have ago at pit bike mx

Life is just expensive at the moment, and track days are just more cost affective at mo.
I was at Blyton on the black 140cc m2r and I'm starting racing in bmb next year in the ohvale 160cc or 140 pit bike race
Nice one, mate I will be at bmb next season I rekon !
See you there @@Pitbikesonic76
hi mate, wondering if you could do a tips and tricks sort of video, just goes a bit more in depth about weight, body positioning ETC…
Good, I dear, bud, yes, I will put that on my list of videos to do
It will be basic tips though, as to do it in fine details I need you on track with me so I can see where you are going wrong, but if you want to set a date and a place we could always do that !

i just got a new symoto and it broke down 30mins on the track and still learning
That's not good, bud well. When it's fixed, there is a Rookies class at fab, so you're racing against new people as well 😀
Still haven’t finished building our pit bike yet but hope to get it to at least a track day or two this year. Not sure which championship to go for next year with my son, BMB or FAB but we’re Bristol based so it doesn’t appear to be the best location…
I would say come do a round of each and see which one you enjoy most
Clay Pigeon and Whilon Mill, I rekon are your closest tracks.
@@Pitbikesonic76 unfortunately we’re on holiday when you are at Clay Pigieon but we’re going to watch the BMB round at Whilton Mill on the 31st
Hopefully, I will meet you next season. If not, I will be at the last round of bmb at Red Lodge
I’m a shite bag basically 😂😂
Racing makes ya go faster !
more track time on track days your their thursday working people cant afford to be their two days before a meeting your their all day for two races kids get bored they want to race
