I melted down my first and only suzuki 125 on one if them days.I was working at Midwest Motorsports at the time and Tim was good friends with the owner. We got to go check the property out before the track was even laid out. We were in aw! There wasn't even a driveway up the mountain yet. We had to park down at the road and hill climb our bikes to the top and the you could see the vast estate! It really was amazing! Once the track was laid out it was pretty much unridable. There were so many rocks it was rediculous! We were out there many weekend loading rocks into Jordan Dukes truck bed... It was futile. Tim eventually got a rock picker and ran it constantly! For those who rode there, I'm sure you remember the ROCKS! But it really was Amazing what Tim did with that place! We had a few years of fun out there before Tim had enuff. I think he was even commuting from the Cleveland area to newcomers Town! Yikes! It was really fun while it lasted! I've even got a nice scar on my eyebrow from a boulder smashing through my goggles! Good times!
I don't remember it being to rocky at all... Tim all ways gave it 100% when it came to prep... lots of memories there from my sons first ride on a big motocross track to breaking my leg and driving home 2 hours with my left foot... wish i could go back 10 years and ride a few more laps...
How about some luscious pics of Beans from back in the day? Remember when he used to cover it with a bunch of sawdust and sand?
Beans is up there with my all time favorite tracks, so much fun!

Yep, rocks were very much dependent on prep.
Tim did many “if you guys show, I’ll open” rides throughout the nasty months.
We would hound him early in the week (on here) and he would make the call.
Those were always fun!
