Wish we were - at my daughters horse show. (even Steven's - twins) Went 2 yrs ago and loved it. Track owner tries his guts out and puts on a great event. The non on-line reg thing was a bust (80's vibe lol) Have fun man - if u go. Say hi to the 100+ Canadians who are likely to be there. No borders in moto.

Would love to go but too many things going on.  Current resto project is a 1978 MX-4 370.  Recently got case fixed for known kick shaft boss that seems to crack/break.

One of the better tracks here. I haven't been in a bit, it's about 2 hrs for me and I have 5 or 6 tracks closer. Maybe not better ones though. Nowadays I primarily ride at my friend's house on his track which is covered in grass.

Definitely a fun track. The rocks do get knarly tho! My only complaint so far is no porta potty maintenance and watering jump faces during the motos. Lol

How were the braking bumps?  One of the last times I raced there was a pretty solid turn out and by the end of the day they were gnarly.

It was definitely rough on Friday for practice by mid day. This morning was a little damp and loose. I was moto 4 and 14. They did a 60% prep at moto 10 because some lip kickers developed. I appreciated the touch up for motos lol.

Had a good time in NY this weekend. First time riding in NY since I rode broom tioga in like 1999. Area 51 is a pretty awesome track to ride! Id say the worst part was the lack of porta john maintenance. They were like mx sports with those things, 0 maintenance all 3 days.100001248810000124901000012489 0.jpg?VersionId=UlrjMk1000012449 010000124501000012451.jpg?VersionId=asgEaVjodXiHkc
