TNT is about 140 miles from Greensboro. 85 south to 77 south is probably the best route. That is a bit far for one day.

It takes me over 90 minutes to get to TNT and I have been known to ride there 3 straight days and go home each night :)

It isn't a beginner's track either...not that I am an expert by any means...just be prepared to jump some scary stuff (or roll over it).

They are in the process of building a beginner / atv track. It is looking really, really, really nice.

I will probably end up at archers where every jump is rutted to hell and has a huge kicker, but its good practice. TNT is too far for me (my parents have to drive me and they wont) Riedsville.. I will have to see how far away that is. Where is eastbend?

 

[dell30rb]

I may race with you Ivan if they have an 80D class and it is not over 1.5 hours from my house.

Possibilites for (my) weekend riding:

Rolling Hills: Too far
JMX: ?
TV: A mabye
Archers: Always an option.

It still looks like I will end up at archers.

They have an 80D. It is a large class usually so sometimes they break it into 80D Sr and 80D Jr (dependant on age I believe).

Check out www.jmxracing.com

My wife and I reserve a parking spot near the track where the bikes exit. You are more than welcome to bring your parents and bike over and pit with us. I don't have enough room for an extra vehicle but there is plenty for your bike and others who want to get a close up view of the action.

Well aren't you special?? :confused: I don't often drive 140 miles one way to ride.

It's good to hear they are building another track down there. I'll have to check it out on Saturday.

Hey CR Kid we should go to Easbend somtime it's close for both of us btw eastbend is just about 15 minutes from winston salem, and I'll think about TNT when they have that beginer track lol

 

[dell30rb]

Is eastbend 15 minutes to the East of winston salem? If so, I could make it there this weekend.

With the exception of the JMX racing (45 minutes) and Strawberry Hill MX (45 minutes but costs too much) I have no choice. There is nowhere else legal to ride around here.

I know...I was giving you a hard time. Kinda stinks that you (we) have to ride so far for decent places to ride. I used to be able to walk out the back door, hop on, and ride....but those days are gone.

CR-For-Ever, I've been to Eastbend a couple times, I suck there for some reason, but I'll always go back. Practices are on Tuesday and Thursday if I remeber right. If that's right, I could possibly go on Tuesday the 16th (if my bike gets back) or Thursday the 25th.

Dell, Eastbend is not far out of Winston. Reynolda Rd. in Winston turns into Highway 67 (I'm pretty sure it's 67) and goes out near Bethania. It's right off that road, the track is right beside an old drive-in movie theater. You'll be able to see the big screen across a field.

no weekend practices there? :(

 

[crkid]

I found the info sheet I got from there. They do have practice on Sundays from 12-6. But there is a race this upcoming Sunday, so can't practice then. Sorry bout that.

I also have directions coming from Raleigh if you would like them.
