Well Knobbie, looks like I have to miss the March meeting. I have a function at school with my son. April is the meeting. Dave

 

[KDXruss]

Hey Dave, What's this about a MX course? I was at the meeting thur. and didn't hear anything about it.

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

Russ, please forget that post. My brother was toying with me. Dave

 

[KDXruss]

I'm up there just about every weekend during the season so you can't miss me. April 1st is my target first ride date.
I don't think you will find to much opposition to building a mx track. Keep in mind the soil type is very rocky and might prove difficult to build something people want to ride on. What's there right now is all loose rocks, no fun, crashed hard once, it hurt.

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

I noticed the soil there is very boney, but if we work on it I'm sure there will be someway to improve the soil. I noticed lots of logging going on, seems the area grows trees and rocks very well. Maybe I can sell the rocks to my boss for landscape projects. See ya soon, Dave. Watch the movie,I'm the guy with the beer, lol http://www.othgracing.com/Movie.wmv

Wow! you really are ready to go! I'm not sure how much snow is left but it can't be much. I'm near Sloansville and there isn't much here.
You might consider taking this time to toughen up for catra by doing things like letting your friends beat you up with baseball bats, climbing up a step ladder and throwing yourself onto the ground, run up and down flights of stairs with your arms out to one side simulating pushing your bike up nasty catra hills :)

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

Sloansville?? do you remember Chariot Park a motocross track in Dist 3 from the early 80's. Ah I fell down the stairs today, does that count? I just got back from Key West where I about drank myself into a coma, that may be good practice or I may just ride the womens stuff, lol.

I remeber that track but from the late 70's. Wasn't part of it on the flat track? I only raced there a couple of times. It was a 2 or 3 hour drive and I wasn't too impress with the track.

Since we're dating ourselves...has anyone raced on the SX track in the infiled of the Fulton County Speedwayin the late 70's? It's near Syracuse. That was a fun track that we raced on under the lights at night. Pretty cool for it's time!

Do you guys know where exactly this park used to be?
And did you mean the Fonda speedway?

I really don't remember but it was in Fulton. There was an oval track for the cars and they built up a SX track in the infield. It was 30 years ago and I think memory is the first thing to go...but I don't remeber :laugh:

 

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

[OTHG_DAVE_858]

I know you are planning next week, but I gotta get on my bike. Started 1 kick this afternoon, I hope I am as ready as it is. I will keep in touch, maybe next weekend weather permitting.

 

[KDXruss]

Cool. I'm waiting for some new rubber so I'm not 100% just yet.
Never heard of Ace, Where is it?
