It wouldn't be huge but you know it will be cool.

Ya the weather looks good for Saturday, there is forecast rain for tonight but doesn't appear to be heavy rain. P-hill drains and dries out fast so it should be good to go by race time. See ya there.

Yea Lee we kind of need some info. I was planning on trying my hand at oval tonight. Sounds like we should have a pretty good turnout.

Hey Aaron I just finished building up my bike a couple months ago from parts I bought off of ebay. I used to have a full suspension freeride/dh bike that I loved for jumping and stuff like that but then normal riding it was a pain. So now I have a full rigid 29er with sram x9 rear shifter and single speed up front and avid 185mm bb7 disks. Now that is a light ass bike. I figured if I was going to do more extreme stuff I would ride my bike with a motor.

Well, we are putting the finishing touches on the track and welcome all of you down for racing tonight. 7pm start time. I will be drag racing at Heartland but will be a phone call away. Come down because we need some cars to run on the oval and get a groove going. We are here now, no ammenities so bring drinks and food for yourselves. Sorry.



PS. Offroad for sure this winter, yes it is a hobby for now, businesses don't just happen overnight, we are lucky to have someone like Jake who can afford to have this as a toy, if we were trying to do this to make money it would have already died. How's that for a sentence? Jake knows what is coming and is planning accordingly. Do you think we don't want to sell you parts? We do. Hang in there and enjoy your summer, it only comes around once a year. We aren't mad at anyone for anything they choose to do for their summer. Now, if you drive to KC this winter, we'll be pissed!Just kidding. This is a good time sport, let's all go have a good time wherever. The oval thing is basically market research.
