I wish it would let me upload the videos the pics do no justice.  It’s fun on a Pitter but definitely a big bike track .  The track is built on a 160’x320’ pad  . So about 3x the size of a normal ax and a lill more then 3/4 of a sx floor

Jimmy and his family have poured their their blood sweat and I'm sure a few tears into rt62. 

The heated pits are insulted and graveled, they are the size of most indoor tracks. Separate from the track so the exhaust stays away,  even tho the track is well vented. There is spectators seating in the track.  The bathrooms are warm also.

You won't meet a nice more approachable crew, which is mostly his family.  

He also takes credit cards, which is nice. 

He has 3 outdoor tracks, that he keeps very well maintained and prepped.

If my son is riding and I'm there taking photos over the winter, and you come tell me you are on vital, I'll throw you a few pictures for free for coming to support the Waltons.  Look for 8Day Photography.

Old photo before my new set up, but definitely not a pitbike track.

I rode there in the spring.   Even for a non-jumper like me, I thought it was a blast.  It's worth a road trip.  The outdoor track is sweet too.

If anyone is interested in a similar building, a used one is for sale with either 400' or 800' length options. 

The building is apart and ready for transport. It is located about an hour south of Columbus. DM me for details.

Looks great! We used to drive down to Kentucky from Wisconsin in the winters and race at an indoor track/building that looked just like that, Earlywine Raceway was the name I believe. Haven’t heard it brought up in a long time though.

Pretty sure it's no longer around. I had plans to head there from N. Illinois, but a friend of mine said it's gone.

Cedar Lake Arena is another Midwest indoor track. If you are looking for sometime a little more tame than a sx track, its the place to go.
