Well, in the winter throw Clark County AX, Salem AX, and Longview sand track in there; in the warmer months Albany, Riverdale (as above), Longview, and a million privat tracks all over the Metro area lol. Do you race? If so, you should try to hook up with some guys who are local to you and find out where they are practicing at. Basically if you throw a rock anywhere on the outskirts of the metro area you hit a private mx track.

Yeah which is really true. Try and ride Mitchelles tracks but I didn't tell you that. That area is chocked full of tracks but over on my side of the state it gets way to dry.

Yea the Mitchells are a moto family. THey have two kids who ride, one is Conner Mitchell who's a multi-national champion and just moved up to 85s; the other is Drew who is a Suzuki rider who won C at Tennesee and is looking for some titles this year.

Anyway, that's who we're talking about. Good people. Very true, most peole won't let just anyone come ride on their property..helps if you know them first! What class do you race? where?

I'd worry about scrubbing later! If you've been practicing for a year you're probably ready to race. At least think about it. PIR is running this Thursday, Albany has practice today and races this Saturday/Sunday. Riverdale will have practice. That's all I know for sure in the next few days. Me? I'm no racer! I like to practice occasionally. Don't even have a bike right now unless you count my pitbike, so I gotta' borrow one to ride! But...that should be changing soon. Along with getting health insurance. Don't like to rirde without that anymore! I'm the medic at Albany and Salem and madras sometimes though, and do some photojournalism stuff. As well as a stint as a trainer for a national B rider this last year lol.
