I heard that changes had taken place at Shady Grove and I wasn't sure what to expect. When I got there Sunday morning the first thing I noticed was a brand new freestyle jump. This I had expected from the reports I got. The next thing I noticed was the rutted up track. I also expected this. What I didn't expect was the price increase to $10. When Charles was questioned about this he said that he had expenses to cover. We then asked if he was going to groom the track more often. His response was "I groomed last week". This would have been before the rains that actually flooded portions of the track.
I know Shady has never been a great track, but it was convenient, cheap, and open at the crack of dawn. Since I am a morning person, and prefer to ride before the heat, and dust, of the day. Shady was an acceptable compromise. Without some regular grooming I do not think the track is worth $10.
I live in the Mid-Cities, so if anyone knows of a decent track, open at daybreak, and within 30 minutes of DFW I sure would appreciate it if you would let me know where it is.
