I went to LU for a year...great time, WAY TOO MUCH MONEY. $24K a year...never did make it up to the track. I saw maybe 2-3 bikes down there total, though Im sure someone rides there.

In the early Seventies, when i found out that to go to college meant NO DIRT BIKES! Well with no consideration for my future the choice was easy - Dirt BikesSmile

Have never regretted that decision!

Can you ride the track if you dont go to LU? I would love to bring my son to ride because I only live about 20 minutes away at Smith mountan lake.

Im going to say no based on this link..check it out then. Maybe you can convince Michael to let you go riding a few times. Could take your son to ride and you could just spectate (I know not ideal). I dont know why they wouldnt open it up to others for $10-20 a time as long as you obey the rules.

Thanks for the link. Michael ,if you ever need someone to ride with let me know. My son is a fast B rider that would love to have another place to ride. If you want another place to ride ,my friend owns a track thats about 30 minutes from LU and we can ride when ever we want.

My friend is the owner of Halsteads motorsports in Rocky mount and We can ride there when ever you want. We also go to Birch and sugartree all the time. All the private tracks around this area are being closed down so those three are really the only places to ride.

ya but this college owns and operates the track so its free for college students and they have free storage, not all college students have a place to put their bike at college even if a track is around. plus its free to ride here if your a student

Thats great. More schools should this. Do they actually take care of the track and plow it? Or is it just something that was built years ago and left alone?

That seems pretty cheap for a private school.

I hope my son doesn't research that school, though. With that snowflex center he'd never get to class!

Yea, I had like 2 by my college. With in 30 minutes. 3 if we count flat tracks. And then i met a guy at school who had his own track. But the problem for me was not havig tracks near the track, but a place to store the bike. I didnt bring mine down until i had a house were i could store my enclosed and that i trusted. I had clsoe to 12K Invested in at the point, thats a steep number to park anywhere. And I am sure i am on the smaller end of the spectrum

I think it would be cool to have an mx track, but I would have to weigh that against going to a college that teaches its students that the Earth was created 10,000 years ago (Creationsim). No offense to you, but you might want to mention the school's orientation, which is radically religious.
