Is this the place? (google is fun...)

If it is, it's only about a 40 minute/30 mile hike for me...

Actually, these look more direct:

When Friday rolls around and we know the weather for Saturday, post a time/place you want to hook up. If the temps are less than 40, I probably won't show. My revo runs like crap when it's below 40 out... and battery packs die fast when it's that cool out as well.

So... how many of you are showing up? I don't want to make the trip and waste the day standing out there alone... I can do that here in Dekalb... without the drive.



Doesn't look like it's going to warm up until about 12...

I know me and doubledoor will be there probably sometime around 1100 1130. I have a Savage 4.6SS and I think he is goping to bring his Hellfire and one of his Savages. The more that are there the more fun we will have.

I've never been there... I posted directions for myself up above. Is there an obvious place that you guys will be at? Or should I just show up around 11:30-12 and listen for the nitro's running?

It will be obvious! on the far side of track, by the end.

I'm going to leave here around 10:30 which should get me there around 11-11:30 depending on if I get lost... I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to directions.

I google mapped the place and I think where I have the arrow in the upper right hand corner is where the actual bmx track is. I'm sure this image is old though:
