Where would you rather live given the choice of the following two?
1 - You live approximately 5 hours away from all of these...
__ a) Indy SX
__ b) St Louis SX
__ c) Minneapolis SX, when they have it!
__ d) RED BUD
__ e) Millville
__ f) and about 5 good riding areas one hour away
OR
2 -
.
Pro -
You live 10 MINUTES away from ONE single National that holds an MXdN (Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood, CO) and you can ride it on practice days.
Con -
One SX is 8 1/2 hours away; the rest are 12 1/2 hours away or longer.

I'd rather live close to a national track where I could ride.
Watching SX is cool but riding a national caliber track is better......IMHO
Done.
I'm jus' sayin'...
watch indy on tv and make ALOT of trips to Red Bud

You can watch SX on TV or the internet and it's not that great in person.
I grew up racing at Hi-Point, Steel City, Budds Creek, Broome-Tioga, Unadilla (never went to Southwick).
They are all within 6-8hrs of each other.
If not, then CA
Florida is cool, but they'll never have another National anytime soon.

I live 15 min from a national track, it rocks, even though I only ride there one weekend a month from May - Oct. I've ran home to grab a part for me or a buddy many times between motos. Sometimes I camp, sometimes I sleep in my bed.
If you want to go to an SX, fly. You'd save enough at the gas pump to buy a round trip ticket or two every year. Frontier is cheap.
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm looking at moving.
1) Current - House in town, buddy's track 2 miles away, national track 15 minutes away, 2 other tracks within 30 minutes.
2) Thinking about - House in the country on 8 acres (enough for some woods trails and a mini track for my 3 young boys) 2 hours away from the national track, but no tracks within 1 hour. But I know landowners who ride and have access to heavy equipment.....
Thoughts on that?
Can't wait to meet Moto_Geek, Cygnus, and whoever else lives near Denver! Even you rat!!
So, my thoughts, be careful where you purchase land, and make sure you have a backup place to ride that is an already established mx facility!
Hi-Point, Budds Creek, Broome-Tioga, Unadilla , Southwick and maybe Steel. That's whats great about this area, get everywhere quickly.
Got a chuckle out of what super rat posted. I lived in the People's Republic of Boulder from '95 until '98 - could not believe the growth. I've been back over the years, just packed out there.

I'm a tad jaded, but being able to race the track is paramount to me.

-Colo. has an airport that you can pretty much fly non stop to any SX.
-You have quite a few tracks with in a hour or two
-You have the mountains to ride, change it up a little
-I used to bitch about the weather but you could ride pretty much year round, it aint Cali but it beats where I am at now in freakn cold azz Omaha that You have to make a connecting flight to go anywhere.
