No outdoor offroad so that the onroad guys can run (track gets dusty and then it sucks for them)

Leisure indoor is large enough that they draw 100+ crowds every weekend during the winter.

I was wondering the same thing. Was it damaged by all the recent flooding???

Outdoor track got kinda washed out, some jumps esp. coming off the backstraight deteriorated pretty badly.

But I haven't been there in about a month so idk how it is now.

track was perfect yesterday. Jumps were perfect w/ the lips and stuff, no ruts anywhere, but the lights werent on so we had to go outdoor until it got dark then indoor.

Inside is 125 X65 we can only use one outside track because we don't have lights to run both outside tracks at once. onroad was picked.

Guess we better bring slicks or foams for the trucks huh? LOL!

No outdoor off road because Bernie cant run both outdoor off road and outdoor on road at the same time due to the lighting situation. So we opted to have on and off road together and that means indoor off road only. Geeeze that looks a lot more confusing than it sounded in my head.

off road cars are not allowed on the on-road track...

If you have an off-road truck/car then you will have to run indoor on the indoor dirt track.

If you have an on-road car then you can run outside on the on-road track.

Does that makes sense to anyone who has questions?

Looks like I'd better fix the 2spd on my sedan before the 8th

I won't be able to make it

I don't have a ride up there but it sounds like a blast

Hmm...maybe now might be a good time to send racing indoor for the offroad guys and start a major rebuild on the outdoor track??

It did get a late start this year,and with all the weather abuse it has taken along with the lower turnout. Maybe a major change is needed?

I dont mind going indoor so early if the reason is good.

That's what Bernie is doing. I think he said the week after next (so 8 days from now) it will be indoor. Said he is changing the layout indoor on the 1st and 2nd if I remember right, and then he's focusing on getting the outdoor track into shape for next year. A thick layer of new, different clay with mulch mixed in, and signifigantly less rocks in it will be put over the entire track.
