Will there ever be a weekday night for racing offroad? like maybe Friday? or even thursday or wednesday but friday nights would work best. Who is/are the owners and people who run the track? can you post pics? or can we just come out anyday to check it out? is there open practice through the week?

Sunday is the only day for racing.

Matt Walsh is the owner of the track and Mr.Bill is the race director.

As of right now there will be no open practice, the track is not finished yet but hopefully by this weekend it will be. You or anyone else is welcome to stop by and check the track out.

Sunday - interesting.

Might have to get the Team to come out a take a gander.

So Mr. Bill is the race director too - see he is getting back into it again - that is good.

When do you plan on having power and maybe water out there?

Also any pics to post up here so we can see it?

Well tires are still a mystery for me and the other people that put the track together, we dont know what is going to work yet. When the track is blown off there is some great traction.

Sunday will be our race day we start at 11am.

I loved the track out there guy's it was really fun, I was the guy running the buggy .i am going to be there for sure next Sunaday can't wait , but i bought me tent cuz i was toast after racing was done ..haha .But one thing is for sure we need some water out there the traction sucked till' the end then it was getting to be okay .I understand the water thing is under works so it cool . I also wanted to metioned the one rule matt, or who ever brought, made it what ever it up i dunno, is the monster truck class I mean i have alot of my freinds race Monster truck and i they know how to drive and let's face most of the new guy's go out and buy a t-maxx or savage something like that. Lets not forget the how fun it is to watch the monster trucks i mean that what it is all about right ?fun ? and besides the extra class i would think would help out the track. anyways just woundering .
Thanks fot the fun Matt & bill .

The owners of THE TRACK have decided that if there is that much interest in the monster trucks that you can bring them and we will see if there is enough for a class to race them.

07-19-2005, 05:25 PM
the track needs more than just water they need a realiable race conducter ,better jumps .......the ones they have now don't even come close to the "other place ".and last but not least less waitng time inbetween race's i rember the frist time i was there when they opened i waited pretty close to two hours before my heat was up and there was only like ten guy's there wtf ?i guess this place just got off on the wrong track ha ha .. maybe they should have just waited a lil'bit longer to open so they would be more orginized,cuz you now what they say about frist impression pepole .Don't get me wrong this place has pontenial(i know i can't spell but you get the point).There is a couple of other thing i don't like about this track to but i am going to keep them to my self and hope fully they will iron them self's out and who now's in few mnths week's whatever it will be a nice place . robert

Due to certain unforseen circumstances, THE TRACK will not be holding any official races, until further notice.

However it will be open sundays to practice if interested.
