I predict that sumo class getting smaller.. sorry guys i just call it how i see it..you got "Henry" which is a cool guy that works at "Demonmotorsports" runs the counter like nobodys bussiness, but dude alot of people did'nt think it was cool running that class with ankle weights? I know there was another question with another rider in the first sumo race, about the same thing weighing 10 pounds shy of 190 with gear? 180-185 with gear+(ankle weights)? Henry your fast,i just don't know why you ran the sumo class and rode as a novice at that? Not trying to bust your balls bro,but i'm just letting it be known that people did'nt think it was cool (9 riders to be exact) l just think you guys really need to weigh in, in front of everyone so no one has any reason to b!tch...whats next people are gonna start running open motors in the class?? LOL
p.s. I just don't want to see that sumo class go, cause i like to see them shake their "LAFFY TAFFY" around the track!! LMAO

You can't!!!!
Don, let it go let it go You cannot bring this up since you do not have a weight or motor class so please let it go.
yeah that's true..only the sumo riders have control of that class..would'nt matter to me, because if the class ends up with less riders they're just gonna have to ride with the lightweights..and they always make great lap traffic!! lol so see you guys in the lightwieght class next race cause i think alot of riders in that class are going to the lumpia festival that weekend!! lol
Sorry to highjack this tread, since it’s supposed to be about pictures, but my name was mentioned, so I will say what I have to say and try to leave it at that.
This is all a bit funny and annoying to me. Out of the so called nine riders only one really voiced a concern to me personally. Martin said, “Dude that’s not fair,” but in reality what’s not fair? Whether it’s added with weights or naturally, 190 lbs. is exactly that. Adding weights does not make me any lighter. And just for everyone’s info, I did weigh in before and after coming off the track for both the heat and the main, always meeting the requirement.
The sumo class was never created specifically for less skilled riders, nor is it a class for fat people. It’s a class for riders who meet a minimum weight requirement and above. According to all this drama though, it seems that my added weight is not really what the issue here is. Really, would there even be fuzz if I came in second to last? I don’t think people would be complaining then. The reality is that I came in second and that’s what most hate. What a bunch of B.S.
You know Giz, if you really wanted to race in the sumo and pack on the 40-60 lbs or whatever is you would need, you should have just done so. Unfortunately, with all this drama you stirred up, now you won’t be able to prove what you can do with the added weight. Its one thing to zip around as a light weight, but it’s much tougher to get up to speed with the added weight.
Now the only other concern that is somewhat valid to me is that of a safety issue, although I’m not really convinced that’s the case either, otherwise why are we letting a 50 lbs. kid race with guys weighing three times his weight? Of course there isn’t (9) guys complaining about that right? Anyhow, congratulations on teaming up and getting the rules changed; you-all got what you wanted.
In all honesty, all this B.S will not affect me, since all I ever wanted was for the chance to battle it out with my buddy Ted, and according to him I will still be able to that, since he plans on racing both classes.

DOH! Now I gotta chase you around too Henry along with all the other super featherweights! Just kidding man
I would like to say that I personally dont think the ankle weights are a big deal, but I strive to keep the masses happy, and when the masses say no extra added weight, I have to sit back and with the help of the boss-man (Matt) we need to analyze the situation and make adjustments.
I do plan on racing in the lightweight class next race also, I don't think I will do all that great, but one never knows, I guess we will all have to wait and see.
I guess I had better lose at least a few pounds, since currently I weigh in at 220 lbs.
Hope to see everyone out at the next race. The rule adendum should keep most happy, and I hope that it is a satisfactory change.
"HANDS UP" this thread just got jacked!!...well Henry, sorry to rain on your parade!! but dude seriously are you telling me that you could'nt ride with us (lightwieghts). you did before and you actually looked good out there for a newbee,but hey you ride big bikes that's you on your avatar aint it?? so what's a pocketbike? that should be a toy to you? and yeah there is a difference if you have weights on or just overweight...
1. If your overweight you have a belly, man boobs, etc. LMAO
2. If your not overwieght it's just like working out, with ankle weights,wrist wieghts etc.
So you decide?! like i said before i give you credit your fast.. but if it were any of my guys trying to pull that s#!t do you think they woulda even got to race in that class, let alone ride as a novice?? HELL NOOOOO! so please don't come at me like that, for something you decided to do? was it worth it? are those thropies hanging on your fireplace or on Teds fireplace? (sorry ted j/k lol) because i could have alot of guys not show up and i don't think your boss would want that? so please squash this right now, because you put this weight on your own shoulders, oops i mean ankles..lol So you could PM me your number and we could talk about this like men or you could be sour about the whole thing!!
You always have great 
You cannot bring this up since you do not have a weight or motor class so please let it go.
