oh yeah I do wonder too?? anyone?


S

Don't know...but I remember checking out that site and reading the guy's plans for it all. Didn't exactly seem feasible on the scale they were talking about.

Taken from Pro Ride.




I know what's going on.

I'm not sure who you know, maybe he worked for the grading contractor, but the project is moving along according to schedule. I wouldn't be in miles of trenching laying out water pipe in 100 degree heat and missing Mammoth if we were months behind schedule.

Explanation on the website:

The updates have stopped going out for two reasons,

1. Even though the project is approved through Federal EPA and US Fish and Wildlife and the Tribal jurisdictions required, local environmentalist groups do not want this project to be built, we do not need their approval for this project. However, every time a new photo was posted with a bulldozer near brush, they would call the EPA and say we were brushing land and disturbing sensitive habitat, hence we have a very large biologist bill to prove we were not in sensitive habitat at anytime. The updates were causing headaches for us, they were awesome for the rider base, but by providing info to the motocross industry we were also providing info to groups that don't want this track built or for motocross and off roading to be allowed anywhere.

2. The second reason is we are in the process of updating the web page for some large sponsorship reasons that will be announced in the next few weeks.

We will have an announcement on the grand opening date as soon as we know we can hit the target 100%. We want the facility to be ready and it to be great from the first visit, the tracks need to be worked in and prepped to make sure they are ready for day in and day out riding and racing.


Construction wise, there was a lull as the grading contractor completed their phase of work, an official walk through was required; it lasted for a couple of days as the finishing touches were done on the grading. Right now we are installing all of the underground infrastructure for phase 1 including water, electrical, security and telecom. The next thing after that is the actual construction of the tracks, buildings, landscape, fencing, etc.

It is almost to the point where we can start offering tours on site.

If anyone wants to know more you can email me at kirk@palaraceway.com or call me at 888-725-2691. I am more than happy to answer questions to calm the rumor mill. The one thing I won't answer is when is Pala Raceway opening? Because I get asked that about 100 times a day. Once we can know the date we can guarantee that we will be open, everyone will now.

As Always Thanks,
