Trina find some more vet tracks in the DFW area. I love Oak Hill but they are rarely open and I messaged them to see if the vet track will be open during practice days and they never got back to me. Texplex has one but it could do with a little work . Is there any other places that have a good vet track? Cheers!

I didn't get the appeal, my buddy said awesome awesome but when I went there were no jumps. Great dirt but one lame table. I just kept cutting the track and doing the one jump over. My son hit one of the million trees that lined the track and left in a helicopter, so theres that..

Where is "his 956 Facility"

Will somebody buy the track in Greenville and open it back up please? That place was fun.

I was gone about 1 year and TC called me and asked if I was available to do a race.

I said yeah, sounds like fun.

It was so weird . I hardly recognized anyone.

That's when I reminded Terry about my decision.
All or nothing, I can't be the guy people count on if I'm part time.
Whether I sucked or not, after 15 years it was consistent.
I miss it, but only the good parts. Like all the people I met, kids riding, stupid shit happening. It was a crazy time...

Since I retired from VC, how's RV doing?
I always liked working with those guys.

And what happened to Badlands? Assuming urban sprawl.

Man, when I retired, I just fell off the map.

Just about every vet friendly track has been mentioned already, but I’ll throw Swan out there too as a possibility. The day track can be high speed, but as far as jumps, it’s about as tame as it gets.

I think Lucky’s might be in jeopardy. Unfortunately Lucky just passed away a week or 2 ago.

As far as I know, Badlands is still going. I miss the days when Russell owned it and it was a brand new track every few months, Garth doesn't do a bad job with it, it just isn't busy enough to justify the massive track changes that Russell used to do.

The last few times I went to badlands (2-5 years ago) it was like I rented the track out. Just me and maybe 5 other people there, max, I'm not sure how they stay open.

Long time no see Cokeham. Where have you been riding lately? One of my favorite DFW vet tracks was North 40 in Sherman. I am not sure why they close it though

Yeah...there's a uppity golf course that backs up to the land now. That, along with all the huge housing developments out there, have shut another one down.

In the last 20 or so years, we have lost:

Lake Whitney
Burleson
Mosier Valley
Rabbit Run (much longer than 20 years)
the original San Antonio track (almost lost my life there, but actually beat Pedro Gonzales there..if you remember him)
Conroe
Shamrock (in Hillsboro)

There's more, but thats the grim picture....

No track prep. So whatever he charges goes straight into his pocket. About 4 years ago I swore I'd never go back after riding a hard packed highway. Earlier this summer my son talked me into going out on a Saturday after he heard Garth was prepping it on the w/e's. Showed up to a hard packed highway again. Not one rut in a corner. Dirt hard as concrete and slick. Did 2 laps, loaded back up, went and got my money back and left.

Brandon bought a bike a year ago and went to VC to see if he could still do the jumps. He said he could but the next day he said he was so sore he sold the bike. Now he's into roping. Those sure were some memories!
