Ive always liked Baja, I grew up riding there but Im not as fast or fearless as I once was, Im pushing 40 now. Im still really aggressive in turns, but way more timid on bigger jumps. I dont do several a few of the bigger jumps on the track anymore, and havent been there in 2-3 years. Top priority is paying the bills for the fam, so not looking to wad it up.
What track do you recommend within 1-2 hours of SE MI for a VET guy looking to hit practice days and a race here an there? Ill be taking a VET buddy also who has NEVER been ot a track, so the easier the better.
I went to twisted a couple times last year and it was ok, but they just dont seem to build jumps like I would. Maybe I caught them on poor prep days Im not sure, but the landing were shaped weird and not forgiving on some jumps when trying to get back into the swing of things.

If you like sandy tracks Supercoops is fun, I took a buddy of mine there who had previously only done trail riding and he struggled riding in the sand so he wasn't a big fan. If your you think your buddy can ride in the sand I would say give it a go.
Other than that though, I recommend killing time at Grand Rapids Grand Prix until tracks start opening up.. racing karts might just be a cure for arm pump, idk..

I used to hit the ski jump at baja like 15 years ago. No more all set now thanks lol. Too old and timid for that anymore. I was a solid B rider thats it. All my old A class buddies still hit everything, Im good though....
Pit Row
I’m a member at Bulldogs and can take you out there sometime. Shoot me a text. 9898917454
I vote for Coops, track is safe, gets rough, bigger jumps if you want. Log road is also good for non jumpers. MxExpress is also a fun track as well.
We're looking to expand our rider guest list. especially to old slow guys like us! We have 5 club events per season, practice days.
Shoot me a PM with your email. I can put you in the loop if you'd like...
Unless you go in the middle of summer its a mud pit(the entire back side of the property is the worst). Built on a 100% flat piece of old farm property.
For a total beginner it might be fun but it leaves a lot to be desired.
I rather go to Twisted instead. Which isn't saying much.
