Yes, the new owner of Smith after Sept 5, 2011 will be Larry Plas. He's been riding his whole life at Smith Rd as well, is a local in that he lives in Grafton and has a son that has travelled the amatuer circuit hitting big events like Loretta Lynn's, the Mini Olympics at Gainesville, and other big events. He's working with George for the rest of the summer learning the ropes and has left an open invitation for George to continue to spend his summers living at the track where he always has for as long as George chooses to do so. Larry wants to give the place a slight face lift with some track changes to get a little more of turnout on a weekly basis than Smith Rd is getting right now. He's got some ideas and taking the summer to get a good look at the place and see what changes will make the biggest positive effect in terms of next year. He's very excited to keep Smith Rd a motocross track and keep the open practice going that so many of us have come to know and love over the years. Larry will do a fine job and checks in on here to see what people think of the track and the layouts......... There are no set changes as of yet, but definate changes coming. I believe he also plans to keep the same 3 outlaw races each year on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day just like George always has.
I'm very excited that my favorite weekly practice track will remain open and give me a place to ride on Wed nights for the near future.
