Maybe around here. Not everyone rides primarily in this shit hole area. In the mountains, I've been several places that the bikes have had to turn around.

whoa!

So Alex doesn't have time to build tracks, but we are going to have a quad-only passable mountain on the track, down in the hole by the bobcat is where you can ride motorcycles and there will be quads riding around the pits?

And raceday is moving, and the time?

Jakes is a busy place!

So is there an "official" decision on race day & time? Also will the trophy race change to Saturday?

We have had the same discussions about Letko. No matter what you do it won't always work out for everyone. Growing up we always raced on Sundays, so it allowed for Saturday to work on stuff, but if things got late Sundays then it made for a hard Monday, I moved here and really liked the 6:00 start time at blue vue, gave some time on Saturday and was like a party at the track Saturday night, then Sunday to recoup.

Let the racer count do the talking, Race on Sunday this weekend, but schedule next weekend for Saturday and see how your numbers are.

That sounds like some good advice. If the Saturday thing happens I'm out, do to my work schedule. Witch is totally fine, no worries at all.

Dustin runs a tight ship there at Jakes and does a awsome job. If a change happens I'm sure its in the best interest of the track. If I had Saturdays off the late afternoon schedule looks very appealing.
