Well that is not too wrong if you know tyrone.

John would west Olive be too much of a drive for the club even if the land owner was willing to put up a building next year? I did'nt think that Grand rapids to West olive would be too bad 30 or 45 minutes west on m 45. Maybe my reality is different because I drive 30 to 40 minutes to g.r. to race or an hour + to kalamazoo. The reason I ask is because they probably won't build a building without the support. I think they are going to do an indoor dirt anyways because in the holland and west olive area there are enough off-road racers to support it. Like I said before they are not looking at making any money they just want to make a place to play. But it would be silly to build something that no one would use. Just a thought. NOW can I get directions to where we will be racing this winter?

Your not the only one Rainn. I just saw an oppurtunity to get something going and not have to look for and move to another building every year but it does'nt look like that good of an idea anymore, I guess. Oh well.

Hey scotty how is it going man? :wave:

The problem is scotty they don't want to waste time and effort to build something if no one wants to race there. I think that they do want to build an indoor off-road though. And I think they have enough racers in the area to support that. Just not enough on-road racers to make it worth building a carpet track.

psycho02
10-02-2002, 12:19 AM
Yes John directions please.

psycho02
10-02-2002, 12:51 AM
So I guess that i will take it as a hint John that you were on here for a half hour after I posted this and I could'nt get any directions
from you. Does this mean that you don't want me to race there this winter?:confused: :rolleyes: :devil: :cry:

10-02-2002, 01:37 AM
the place is off 28th street on thornhills dr. i belive.....
if you take 28th street east past riders for about 4-5 miles you will pass a meijer on your left keep going east then a walmart on left keep going east, you will pass a strip mall on your right w/ wendys and family vidio keep going east, the next light, there will be a D&W on your left and a bank on your right, that light is thornhills, turn right....... the building is like the second drive on right.... big building and parking lot.......if you go to far 28th street ends at cascade just turn around and go back to the first light and turn left........

So, I take it that Cadillac Jacks isn't there, either? Bummer.... Not like that would have helped my racing anyways.....

So, now that I know where it is, what day and time are we working on this bad boy? Lemme know......

later.....

Rich Chang
10-02-2002, 03:16 PM
Ugh - it is farther down 28th from last year's track? I think 28th street was the longest part of my trip. :) I guess the building off of I-96 and 28th street fell through?

Would there happen to be a quicker route than taking 28th street?

KawadaKid
10-02-2002, 03:18 PM
no, it is like right off of 1-96. Just take the 28th street east exit and its up the street just a little bit.

KawadaKid
10-02-2002, 03:20 PM
i think thats 1-96...???

nitrorod
10-02-2002, 03:42 PM
Yes comming from Lansing or Muskegon you would take the east 28th st. exit off 96 and you are about 2 miles from it.

For those of you interested in stopping by the new building,
we'll be there Thursday (tommorrow) evening around 5:00 or so.

I'd like to see us racing this weekend, even if it's laying the carpeting and leaving the tables and etc. for later!

John,

Can you call me sometime? I would like to discuss some ROAR racing things for next year. Maybe a ROAR Race in February?? I am 90% sure all the Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin racers would love to have another big Carpet race!!! SOmething like a Regional? Our new facility can more than handle a hundred or more racers. 15,000 sq. ft!!!

Thanks,
Ray

Yep, but that'll depend on how many people show up to help. I was thinking that if nothing else, we could lay the carpet out, put up the drivers stand, layout a track, back the trailer inside and run races like we do when we're outdoors!

10-02-2002, 11:45 PM
So now you want me to come and give you the carpet bumper huh?


What you have going on Saturday? I could maybe come then. But I know I could'nt make it during the week. We have practice tuesday thru friday 6:00 to 7:30
