This is one of three tracks at a friend's house. Used to have all sorts of riders of varying skills and age. Now with just basically 3, +40B guys we have to mow and weed whack just to keep them from being taken over by mother nature. Can't make up my mind if this situation is awesome or sad.

Edited Date/Time:
This track is an ode to Kenworthy's. Only about half is mowed. Rest is going to get torn down to table everything and beef up a few. Moto track in woods with 2+ min lap times. And another smaller track in woods also.
They may be receptive to people wanting to ride. Dickheads, douches and know it alls need not apply.

Got an area further away cars and low SUVs can park? Let someone with a flatbed offer shuttle service. $5 for a ride to the track. A beautiful grass track is worth spending the money to race on. Ain't nothing better than pinning a 125 wide open on dry grass.

That track is kind of on a plateau with enough space around it. Getting stuff up there if it is too big is the problem. Really no options for a park and ride deal.

Grass can be treacherous. Add a little water and its an ice rink.

Wasn't Unadilla originally the same way? They just laid out stakes and ribbons to mark the track. That looks awesome to me.

Not usually, track was usually freshly mowed for me. But have ridden it with ice patches, and when it was 2 jumps.

If you are serious something could be arranged. Jumps aren't huge but the weeds do make them look smaller. Biggest jump is only a 80' table, rest are 40'-60' doubles.
