I probably could get some MIP's or something, but for $25, I can get a full stock set on ebay. That's how I have backups now. I actually used parts from the last one I broke to fix this one.

That's too bad... this thread is the first time I ever went, which was a couple weeks ago. I have a feeling that every weekend will end with the same kind of results. Although, it is a public facility... but you may find it easier to be there in the middle of the week (take a vacation day) or on sundays.
I just wish there was something like that near me... I have places to bash, but people become a constant problem. Tresspassing isn't something I'm prone to do either, so it really limits my areas. I have one place I'm allowed but only on sundays. I ran into the owner of a refinery (as I was kind of tresspassing). He told me it was ok for me to be there on Sundays since they are closed, as long as I don't bring kids or 10 people with me. 1 or two is fine... but then I fear that the 1 or two that I bring won't adhere to these rules, so I tend to just go there alone. I don't want a decent bash site ruined for me because I was being nice.
By kind of tresspassing, the refinery has a gate up, but still has mounds of rock and dirt outside the gate along the driveway. It's about a 4 acre area that is constantly changing. Some weeks are fun, others are annoying. I was outside the gate figuring that I wasn't "technically" tresspassing. Since I was on the the outside of the fence that said "No Tresspassing". After running into the owner though, he just wanted to see what I was doing and he seems pretty cool with it. I offered to let him drive it... he just grinned and said he spends his money stupidly enough as it is.
lol....is the track open to drive up to during the week? b/c there's all kinds of gates and crap leading to it
i could easily go just about any day of the week b/c i never have HW and my dad makes his own work schedule
thanks olds

Their is a gate, most of the time it's open. If not you can just walk around it, the gate is to stop people from driving up close. no fence around the gate.
has anybody been out there recently?
I want to go check it out! Let me know when you guys want to go next
I haven't been there except for that first/last time a month ago. Once my work schedule dies down and I can take a few vacation days, I'll head out there again in the middle of the week.
Hopefully by then, I'll have my savage's suspension set up better and a 3.3 in my revo.
