Visit about 2 times a year. Like to ride some places. Mountain view is fun, way too skinny. Albany is ok, like the sand. Hate the quads! So mt.view needs to widen the track, and not split the practice into 4-5 parts. Makes guys try to put as many fast laps as possible in as little amount of time. THen they have to wait nearly an hour to ride 15min. again. They are cold, makes for more crashes. Albany, same with the split practice, super lame, and don't let a quad ruin the track for everyone else! I will not be back until these things change. Leave it open practice, maybe shut it down for mini's if there's a ton of them. A crowded track, just wait a few minutes, guys get tired, track becomes less crowded, makes for better riding. Washougal is gay with the split practice too.

I shot you a PM a little while ago. I know you tried the Albany Wednesday practice ride , but me personally , I don't care for the Wednesday rides there. it doesn't seemed to be in near a good of shape as the weekend rides go.
I know you are probably in a foul mood and all because your bike basically blew up and it spoiled your trip , but to base all the tracks off your one ride at Albany , or because you hit them on the wrong day? Man.....It sucks that you had a bad time!
Washougal , Albany and Mtn view all have regular practice days all the time.....all are great tracks ( awesome in fact) The key is to join your normal class and then sign up in another one so you have two classes to ride. You're going out like every 20 - 30 mins.....all day long. Mtn view and Riverdale both have open practice all day long in the limited practice days....which happen all the time.
I love it up here and get way more riding than what I can handle on the weekends. Mtn view , Albany and Riverdale are open for weekday practices as well.......more riding than what you can handle.
Again.....sorry about your bike blowing up. Next time ask some of the locals on how to schedule your ride days up here....you will have a blast next time up.
I will probably see out there this summer.
I'll be back up there in 2 weeks.
And don't hold me to this.....but I may try racing there here in a few weeks. Would like to get some motos back under my belt before the Vet national at Washougal.
Maybe we could swing by Duct tape Dan's and spin a few laps? haha!
Anyone that has anything bad to say about NW tracks hasn't been to Burnt Ridge. Amazing.
I'll definitely hit you up once I get back there.
As for Duct Tape Dan's lol.....
119th Street Fo-Life-Yo hahahahaha!
We've mentioned him before over the years....his kickstand & all.
Wood on the face of the jumps / 1 lined track / even had that pit to jump/ dusting up the neighbors & 119th street traffic and the cops coming.Cant forget the front door off his dads house as the loading ramp for CC indoor AX.
Him riding a 10speed with no seat & a gas can to the store to re-fuel that old beater 490 I think it was.
Seen him ride some days with no packing in his silencer. Gnarly it was on that big open bike.
And to stay on the topic of NW tracks....
There she is....she still looks carved out a bit after all these years.
He even had the track set-up through the basement at one time i think LOL.
Eddy....wasn't it just a couple years ago that he actually still had something going there? I'll bet he still does motos there.....the dude was a die hard!
