I need a list of people definately going.

1. Jason
2. Pat
3. Dan
4. Chad?
5. Mike?
6. Mac?
7. Kenny?
8. George?
9. Adam?
10. Greg? (Unfast1)

with 10 people, we are looking at about $30-35 each to ride. This covers track fee, EMT, and insurance.

I do have a back-up plan for a place just off College Park road for free. It is similar to the course we ran on 78. I know the owner of the company, and it is up for sale. He wants to watch us run, and see how things go. This can be a place to run in the future if all goes well. We just need to map out the course, and clean the area a little before we run.

Let me know what everyone wants to do.

Dan

P.S. Jason...did the swingarm bearings work in your mini?

I will call Rob Bush today (owner of elgin track).

I also have some good layouts for the local place in College park. We just need to spend about an hour sweeping and seting cones for the first time. After that, it will be a simple dusting off each time we return.

It's a no go on Elgin for this weekend. It was too short of a notice. We may be able to get it later this month with advance notice...more than 2 days.

I scoped out the track we can make just off College park road. In total it should be just at 1/4 mile in length, compared to Elgin being just over 1/4 mile. Clean-up should not take long. Surface grip should be great. "Skully" and I rode thru, and had no problems. The place does have curbs, so there is a risk of damage in 1-2 spots if you low-side. If we bring some tires to place on the curbs, this may minimize the risk. I think motards may be fun there also.

I plan on going there at about 10am tomorrow with broom and shovel. I would love to get one of the blowers offered by you good people. Call me anytime today @ 754-8158(cell). Dan

10-04-2008, 05:13 PM

dan, you know where i live, and if you don't, just follow the directions on the half pass link. you're more than welcome to use the blower, you just gotta come get it. i'll have her fueled up in case you swing by. i'll be up and running by 6, so feel free to swing by.

10-04-2008, 08:17 PM

Hey Mike what kind of trailer and what size are you looking for I have a 4x8 for sale it is nothing special but depending what you want to do with it, it should the job well.

Mike

Hey Mike what kind of trailer and what size are you looking for I have a 4x8 for sale it is nothing special but depending what you want to do with it, it should the job well.

Something about that size might be fine - enough to haul two bikes if need be.

mudrunr

10-04-2008, 08:25 PM

It is rated to haul about 8000 or so. If you go and run on Sunday we can talk more about it.

Hey, it was a great day for riding. The guys were awesome. I hope they get to do it again. 7 showed up=adam,dan,chad,jason,pat,george,travis and ray(without a bike) but, he did bring a really cool toy..a helocopter. It was really cool. I brought remote control bumper cars and everyone had to try.
