is everyone arguing about bumps? who cares? if a sponsored driver/faster driver starts behind you and there are bumps well maybe he was having a off weekend. matt olsen started behind me last year in my mod main and he didnt get past me and if he did well he deserved that spot cause he was faster. im pretty sure we both bumped but i dont remember. but even if a person started dead last in the mains cause he had no quals and bumps to the A well good for them cause thats where they belonged and would of been if they were there for qualifing or if they didnt have a bad weekend. I cant belive everyone is arguing about that? lol i thought there would be more arguements about entries closing so early. racing is racing guys see yall at motorama.

I can tell you that running triple a mains and bump ups is a scheduling nightmare. Technically you can't run any of the Amains until all the lower mains are finished. Races of this size with this many entries and triple mains almost never have bump ups. Unless you have run the scoring software you have no idea about this.
Welcome to motorama. You pay three times the amount for an entry fee and get similar track time as your local club race and it's really freaking cold.

It's an awesome event one of the largest in the world.... Price is cheap for the size of the event... It's a basicly sold out already and sells out every year.... People cry about practice time... I typical run 5 runs each per class plus 3 quals and main... Well worth the money.... If you don't like it then instead of complaining just don't come.... It will still sell out... Scotty is the best in the business and runs and awesome show instead of complaining applaud the efforts of everyone involved so we don't have to travel across the country to race in premier events... Rant over bring on Motorama 2015

I guess the only thing that may make this format suck is if they run some lower mains on Saturday and you can't bump, there is a chance you wouldn't need to show up on Sunday (if you are like in the J-main or something). This kinda stinks since you you pretty much paid for the whole weekend plus all the out-of-towners have hotel reservations and what not. I know I bought a Sunday ticket for my wife...look for all the low finishers in RC out scalping admission tickets on Sunday morning!!

Plus, it's more racing for the $ (if you make it in the A).

Guys, I spoke to Scotty and told him we need to address your concerns. He was travelling and just got into the US today. I expect something from him tomorrow.
The bottom line is that we are trying to make this a more enjoyable event. Not just a race. If you come to Motorama strictly for the RC Race, you're selling yourself short.
The past 2 years, we had so many people that we were there extremely late every night and no one got to actually enjoy the event. I think I saw one moto race and I was looking forward to it. The goal now is that we can finish at a reasonable time, let everyone experience what Motorama is really about, and still have great racing. You do realize that we are still going to have close to 700 entries over 2 tracks.
Now about bumps. This is NOT official, but my understanding is no bumps except the B Main. This is something I have asked Scotty to clear up. As far as the lower mains on Saturday, I believe ONLY the B mains are being run on Saturday. Everything else is on Sunday.
Again, this is my opinion, not Motorama's, not Scotty's. It's nothing official, and I may be totally wrong.
The bottom line is Motorama is about family, fun and motorsports. If you can't understand that or don't want all of that, then maybe you are better off not coming. ( I would HATE to see that happen though)
Thanks,
Bob

From post #1:
WITH OUR NEW SCHEDULE, WE WILL ALSO BE ADDING A BIT MORE EXCITEMENT TO THE PROGRAM. WE WILL BE RUNNING TRIPLE A MAINS! WE WILL ALSO BE DOING A BUMP UP FROM THE B MAIN. THE TOP 9 QUALIFIERS WILL MAKE THE A MAIN AND WE WILL TAKE THE WINNER OF THE B MAIN TO FILL THE 10TH POSITION. WE WILL RUN THE B MAINS ON SATURDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH SOME OTHER LOWER MAINS TO GIVE THE SPECTATORS SOME RACING ACTION ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
Guess your not bumping from the C on Sunday to a B that is being run Saturday
