Get in touch with me. I live about six miles from there. I can hook you up with places to stay and other things. If you're a decent human you can stage at my house, wash bikes, etc. I'll even smoke you some ribs - ribs that if I put one on yer forehead would have yer tongue beating yer brains out to get to it. Offer open to all decent humans.
Thanks my friend! We are all mid 20's going down for daytona and the next week to ride. We like to have a good time but we understand this is vaction and not to get to wild. All respectable hard working guys, we are bringing a friend's motorhome down but we might stay at a hotel a night or two. I would love to take you up on the offer if we end up needing somewhere to crash. We could always just park outside and sleep in it, just camping fees at some tracks suck. We will have to exchange email or phone #'s.

We will have pleanty of beer to bring and what ever else you want us to pick up. Let me know!

Btw, just in case anybody would like to know what liability insurance costs here's the details.

When we run a race here our insurance is $1100 for the race. For practice it's $310.
So when we do a Sat practice Sunday race format our total bill is $1410.
We've shopped around and that was the best we could get. There me be some better deals out there but they're going to still be in that ballpark..

Add to that, trophies, fuel, ambulance and EMT's, equipment maint and repair, labor and many misc expenses and you can see how it adds up fast.
When we owned our own water truck, dozer and tractor something was always breaking. And on that equipment no repair is cheap.

We're lucky now, as I said we do it to raise money for our community. We use all volunteers and the equipment is donated, even the ambulance. Running a track really is a labor of love.

5 of us will be coming down in march and I wanted to hit this track. We only have enough room to fit 5 bikes, so 1 each anyway.

I have been to Hilliard already and alot of other tracks down their. This year we are hitting a few new ones, here's the list..

sun- pax (we will be staying their for daytona anyway)
mon- beach
tues- stil up in the air,either waldo, jmp, or bostick ( we are going on thursday to boswick too)
wed- ww ranch
thursday- bostwick
friday- hog heaven
sat- countyline

From the last I checked these are the days that all the tracks are open, i know some change for spring but we should be good with 80% of tht list.

Trust me, Tim needs more income. He has a LOT of debt related to LTM. That's no secret.
Add to that about 4 months out of the year it generates $0 income.
I know much more, but that's all I can say.
It's just a matter of time before LTM raises the fees.

Also, he didn't buy part of crossroads. His son is just running it for the guy who bought it. I think the owner owns a big powersports business in Effingham.
That's what Tim told me when I was there riding last summer.

But it's not a soap opera. It's just a fact.
Your the only one on here complaining about WW and you haven't even been there!!

If you want high quality tracks, and I think most of us do, you're going to have to pay a little more. That's reality.
I too don't want to pay any more than I have to at the track. But I will pay more for quality.
Hell, I'm getting ready to drop $700 on a new 6D helmet.

And maybe you didn't say "ripoff". But you did say "I don't want to sign over my paycheck". Isn't that implying the same thing?

I guess that's my point. Every time someone posts anything about the place, which btw has all been positive, you kinda go off and say how outrageous the cost is. And that's fine, as you said this is a forum.
But then you keep saying it hoping someone will agree with you.

Both my thread and this one were complimentary towards WW and encouraging others to just give it a try.
If it's not worth it don't go back.
Not sure what "debt" is related to LTM, he bought the place from Gene Ramsey for a price. I am sure he is now paying that off if that is what debt you mean. As for other debt not related to moto, well you can point fingers in whatever direction you want. Can't right checks your income can't cash (but agree, another story).

Gene ever tell you what he use to make owning LTM, well over 6 figures a year and he never held practices. But the economy was "a lot" better than. 400 riders easy every weekend. Not sure how old you are (not an insult) but early / mid eighties through the 90s you couldn't even park in the woods it was so packed. They use to open the track gates to the infield in the morning so people could park in side the actual track. No one had motorhomes or boxvans or trailers back then, that was just trucks hauling bikes with some people packing tents.

uh uh what....oops dreaming a little bit Ok back to reality......$4000 for what engine rebuild.

Sounds like you guys are going to have a blast.
I'd like to see you post a review of those tracks after you guys ride them if you don't mind. I'm thinking about going back down again in the spring and I'd like to get some feedback on those tracks. Thanks

honestly, I don't understand why this has gotten so far, in the line of disrespect it has. It was just a post in reference to the guy with the KX250f and his trip, just adding some video of the track. If you don't like the price structure, don't go. The owner isn't going to change it bc some internet superstar wont go.

Heres an idea, lets bash a track that is trying to recuperate proper funds in order to operate, you shouldn't go and this guy should lose business so there is one less track in America.

Last I checked, we are a free enterprise nation?..
