Two great points on Treaty City and COCR. Treaty needs to hire someone to build those jumps though. Heard through the grapevine that the last few jumps that they put in the track were not built well.
COCR, could be a great natural terrain track, but you are correct, they throw in jumps places to just throw in jumps.
Biggest issue for both those tracks is learning how to prep before a race, and at intermission properly. Has always been an issue at both.
Every track owner needs to look at their start and finsh line placement. If you can not start the next moto with the last few straglers 1/2 around the track, then move your finish line somewhere else. This can really help speed up your program.
Dirt Country has the most potential in my opinion. He has the dirt in decent shape, just needs to add some things to the track. And address the gate inbetween races a little. The ruts coming out of the gate are now about a foot deep going back to the first race. Not sure why he does not run a dozer over those.
It was a disaster when I visited at the end of 2012. Tons of erosion, lots of rocks. It would take a massive earthmoving effort to get it rideable. My guess would be a month of earth moving, maybe not all major, but a substantial amount. Driveway is bad too. Even if you owned all the equipment, you would probably have 20-25k in fixing it just from that standpoint. Shes gone.
Mike, I know its rough, but it does do two things for us. Its slows down traffic so the neighbors aren't annoyed, and it also keeps the dust down. I do plan to add another skim coat of #4's to level it out, but I don't have the extra cash heading into winter.Speaking of BAD DRIVEWAYS,,,,,,,,,,,,,look out the window

And one more thing, the next time you tell me there is a tree down and I go looking one and don't find one, I'm sending you the equipment fuel and operation bill, or you can just give me $100 to ride. Have a nice day. Buddy.
Wait, what was I thinking??? South tracks don't read this forum so no way will they post detail of the re-building plan... Like they had one anyway...
I think A MS is done. Funny how some people that always raced all the AMS races have not been seen this year at all.
Rt 62 I heard was joining the list of southwest ohio mx tracks. Also heard buckeye hills. Went there a couple months ago, and was really disappointed in track conditions considering what i had heard.
Heard COCR had 40 entries yeaterday, but track was awesome.....well easy to keep in good shape with 40 entries on it. 8 motos.
Not sure how COCR and treaty city can stay open with 80 entries or less.
New Vienna and Tommy Boner made a good effort yesterday. 205 entries. I gave him one suggestion on how to keep motos running quicker. Have a few more if they are interested. But will be at his next race to see how it goes.
Really Buckeye Hills has not joined any series, I will erase that rumor now. I have talked to Jason and Jermey and this was the extent of it. The owners and myself will be inviting Jason , Jermy & Zach to ride the property in October. Please don't speculate on anything.
