Seriously though, sounds like a cool series. Lincoln Trails is a rad track. A lot of those Mid-West tracks are pretty epic...great dirt and plenty of room for fun layouts. Wish it wasn't so dang far away!
The Shop
one time in 2 years, other wise, its a HmmHmm "Blue Jeans Crew" type
track. It is what it is, but there are def better tracks in the area, but not my
bizz. Hope the series as a whole is very successful.
We just took this track over three years ago and it is the only track around that is open all the time. You can ride anytime you want. No it is not ever race prepped. Some weekends I water and till and that is it. The rider numbers have more than tripled in the last three years.
The the qualifier? We had 18" of rain the three weeks before the race and over 6" of rain on Thursday and still got practice in on Friday. We couldn't even use our biggest parking area, we had to park everyone on the side of the track that should be for workers and member/helpers. We had the whole track covered in great dirt from the silt pond only to have it washed back down in the pond the day before the race.
The good news is we are starting to haul sand. We have tried mulch, saw dust, good black farm dirt, etc etc. But none of that has helped break up the clay base. I have talked to two soil engineers and both of them said the only thing that will help is sand. So that's what we are trying next.
Turning a junk yard into a motocross track has not been ease but those that have been riding here for the last 15 years say it has never been as good as it is now and I will keep making it better as long as I can. But I'm very willing take suggestions and will take all the help I can get to make the place better.
Some of that is equipment. Dozer Dave and Matt will make sure we have the equipment we need at each race to get the track in great shape.
We have plans to buy some motocross specific equipment that we will use at all of the tracks in the series.
