Ken! Bring the kids too. I have been so confused. Racing used to be so simple. Maybe it still is. There are fewer tracks that I know of. I am not connected to the same racing crowd I used to be. There are so many racing choices/classes it makes my head hurt. I now have a family and am working like a dog. But, I love racing, so here it goes:
You remember Spud's racetrack -- I think my dirt is kind of like his, and I like they way he got the grass edges against his dirt.
Probably in April whenever the ground seems OK (and before the crops go in), I will go out there with the tiller and lay it out. I'm not sure if I should add in some salt for weed suppression -- any suggestions? I hit the track with Round-up last year, but the weeds were really strong and we had tons of rain, so it was a tough battle.
I might just have to go out and buy a port-john -- I think they sell for $300-$500 for basic ones. If anyone has leads on one, please let me know.
Location will be here:
25004 jackson road, marengo, il - Google Maps
If you look north of the green-roofed house, you see a burn pile sitting out in the field -- that will be burnt and then the southern edge of the track will be there, with the driver's area (can't call it a stand) will be just south of that. The east edge of the track will go over to the tree line. The west edge of the track will be an equal amount to the west, so that the driver's area is kind of in the middle of the width.
