Why do you not allow chase dads.My son is more than capable to navigate the course on his own.This will be his first race,and it would make me more comfortable to be with him.

Nothing personal,.... but you'll get in the way of others racing. Last year my son did his first race as a mini by himself. I started 3 rows ahead of him. He was fine. Had a good talk about not riding over his head & he got his finish. I'm sure your son will be fine & will probably really surprise you. Good luck.

racers cannot have a chase rider following them, it is an unfair advantage. can you imagine if everyone had a chase rider?

Yeah not gonna lie chase dads suck. Nothing against you at all. This past weekend at the Dirt Diggers race I almost hit a girl trying to pass her and her chase dad at the same time, and it happened twice with 2 different girls and chase dads. its hard to pass 2 super slow people at the same time, trust me and someone will end up crashing.

My first race in 20 yrs.My sons first race ever. GREAT event, fun course. I now understand why chase dads are not allowed and they truly are not needed.My son is already making plans for round 3. Thanks
