We have another 4 hrs travel to Ironman where we will camp at a RV Park 10 minutes from Ironman.

Wanted to hit Sunset Ridge MX this afternoon but cancelled due to a rain storm.

We looking for good options close to Ironman, deep well watered tracks.

So far one option is Lincon Trails but unsure of the track condition.

Any advise will be appreciated.

MT Carrol is going to be about 4 hours so TI473 is a moron (just kidding Z.....). LTMX is about an hour to an hour and a half from Ironman. You could also ride at The Badlands in Utica, IN but i'm not sure how good the track is at this place. LTMX has practice every day and the track is really good. Nice sand track. Are you looking to ride during the week or on Sunday?

Badlands is junk anymore but LTMX is good and gets pretty rough to anything we are used to around here.

Lincoln trail is bad ass. Maybe we can get enough people together and they will have a prepped Friday practice. Track is national caliber

Ltmx is a fun sand track I might go there if joliet cancels just talked to Ernie tracks running but pretty wet right now.

Joliet is a option it's a simple outdoor set up good to get seat time and laps in. Night tracks hasn't been fun to ride in years though

Check out lincoln trail motorsport in Casey they normally are open most of the week. Just need to check their Facebook to see if it's a groomed day or not.

Call austin Squires at ssr and talk to him about riding there it's a training facility he has right by Casey
/ Lincoln trail. That might be a good option for your rider. RV hook ups the whole deal.

Awesome, thanks bud. There will be a few quick pro's training at Lincon tomorrow and we will check in with Austin for Thursday. We can't ride on Friday as we need to be in the pits at 09h00 to setup and bike maintenance.

We are about to call Austin...just trying to figure out the best approach.

Your son should ride with us tomorrow if it won't upset his program.

Just did Fly ride day there on Sunday. Great place, 2 tracks totally different. Hit Tim up on Facebook.
If you can rally enough riders he may do it. Probably be about a 2 hour drive... just guessing.

His facility is in Bowling Green IN. Not anywhere near Casey IL-LTM. LOL

But it's a good idea because it would actually be closer to Ironman.
