Chet and Nick have had a bad year, the weather prior to this past Sunday has impacted every practice and race event that they have tried to run. Now whether its trully affecting the turnout, or its the fact that motorcorss in NE ohio is in steady decline, I dont know. But I do know that they are very bummed about it, and really dont have the resources to put on the race the way that they would like to promote it. So instead they will finish out this year with scheduled practice and re-evaluate running OIR after that.
Heres your chance people, if you dont want to lose another damn track, maybe you should show them some support. Get to OIR for a practice, they need to see that the riders want OIR kept around, you could save the place.
This isn't going to be popular:
Tried OIR twice. Everytime the track has basketball sized clumps as prep. It needs a cultivator or something so it's not so retarded. One line gets cut in and nobody strays from it for the entire day and makes for a miserable experience.
Now I'm not the only one bitching. But I might be the only one who is putting it to print.
I love oir layout. But you cant just dig it cornfield deep and not drag something over it to eliminate the basketballs.
Jon16 and I were talking about it one day last year. And it's still the same this year. Not sure how many times he's been back.
Don't take this wrong way. Get a cultivator or a drag. Something to help out the deep digging. The deep digging is awesome. You just gotta finish it with a drag and the prep woes are over.
Hands dig it deep at big game and then drag a cultivator over it and it makes for a great track. That's what they did when they ran OIR and it raked in 3-500 riders every event.
You can get that type of following again no doubt. Those guys try really hard and are only falling short on a minor but major detail. If that makes sense.
