Explain going to the Midwest Nationals to me like I'm 5. First time at a national event.

Explain going to the Midwest Nationals to me like I'm 5. First time at a national event.

We are still in our first full year of competitive racing. My son is a 8-year-old novice. But quickly moving up. We've only raced local races and double point races where they post motos on a board. Our first state qualifier is this weekend in KY, but have been told national events are a different beast.

He will be leveling up to Intermediate very soon (7 wins already and he wants to race a national as a novice before leveling up) and possibly expert by the end of the year being in Indiana and Kentucky.

We're going to the Midwest Nationals, and a few others this year to learn how the events work and get more involved in racing. As I mentioned, we're still learning everything.

The Midwest Nationals is going to be our first national event, ever. We have a place to stay already.

If you could, please explain to me how parking works, then finding your spot to sit, finding where to register for the event and then how to find out what motos you are in. I'm assuming his races will probably be "total points" or "3-4 to mains" and not featuring semi's and mains.

Looking for all the information you have. We appreciate it.

Suggestions for new sun glasses with similar style to KB1 by Electric

I've had these Kb1 by Electric (Kyle Busch NASCAR driver) for just about 15 years (late November 2011). I've bought replacement lenses over the years and I basically get a new pair of lenses every other year through the Fuse Lense replacement policy. That's why I've had these for so long. However I'm ready for a change.

I've tried Kyle Busch's new glasses through Shady Rays and I wasn't a fan. I tried on a few other frames they had and also wasn't happy with their lineup.

I love the thick sides on the electric KB1's and the really wide and tall eyes. These glasses are almost like wearing goggles where very little outside light comes in. And they are lightweight IMO.

That's the feeling I'm looking for more than anything. Very little light coming into the frame and blocking most of the sun out

Would love any suggestions you have. You can see how the KB1's fit on me in the attached photos. Polarized lenses are a requirement. Colored (Gold or Blue) lenses are a plus, but not required. I do not need a prescription lens set either. I just went last week to an eye doctor and I could use some readers, but my sight is pretty dang awesome.
