Meanwhile in South Carolina....the winner of last October's $1.5 billion Mega Millions drawing in South Carolina remains a mystery.

With less than two months to go, the winning ticket has not been claimed.

People in Simpsonville where it was sold have plenty of theories. Maybe the winner was so overwhelmed, he or she died on the spot. Maybe the winner is on the run from police and fears a background check. Or maybe the ticket accidentally ended up in the trash.

If the ticket isn't claimed by April 19 there will be other losers. The owner of the store that sold the ticket loses a $50 000 prize. Every taxpayer in South Carolina may lose a $50 rebate possibly tied to the $61 million the winner would pay in income taxes on the jackpot.

With that type of $$$ you could build a motor paradise....look for that ticket boys.

Ncmp in Henderson. A little north of raleigh. Badass place when I have been. Few different tracks that are usually in good shape & like 20ish miles of trail riding I believe. Never ridden the trails tho.

I know of a private track in Smithfield, NC. It's 40 minutes south of Raleigh, real close to Interstate 95. I know the owner (Steve Lassiter), so he let's me ride there and do private lessons. He does allow some friends and friends of friends ride there for 25.00. See more at... @moto95NC. Let me know if you want to ride there?

If it would ever stop raining we would head down. We have made it once this winter.... ugh. We usually hit up eastbend and 421. Last trip we did Club and East bend, while staying in N. Charlotte.

Yes, Zoo city is closed.

Silver Creek is still open, however they are closed until some of this rain passes and the ground dries. Not sure if that is what you meant by your post of not. They are active on Instagram at SilverCreekMx

On feb 14th silver creek posted on their facebook that they "are closed until further notice". Hopefully I mistook that and they will re-open after it dries up like you said.

Silver Creek is a world-class track, but they're only open on select Saturdays when conditions permit. I think that has added up to one day in the last three months or so. I've gotten out once lately, to dirt world, the track was borderline unrideable so I played on the woods track (which is fun), then spent more time cleaning the bike than I did riding. F this rain.

I was starting to wonder why I was the only one to mention Silver Valley.

Center Road has always been a fav. What a fun little track. Good dirt, good layout. It’s not always open but I hope it survives.
