I'm very sorry for the lack of moisture in the ground on Saturday.
I've never seen a drier season in 12 years of being here.
I did put down 15 truckloads of water starting Friday evening at about 6pm, when the wind died down, until about 2 am. Then was back up in the morning to add 2 more after I chiseled it up.
The sun was up and out early and the wind kicked up by 8am making it even harder for me to control.
So this
Were you there? The track was disced the night prior, any moisture in the ground was gone by morning. He drove around the track once with the water truck and put down barely enough water to discolor the dirt. The access roads had more water on them than the track for Christ sake.
Is totally inaccurate.
I problably shouldn't try to be open when it's this dry. Another mistake I made was not cutting the track down. It was well over a 2 minute lap and that is just too much for me to maintain in these conditions.
Now I realize things weren't great on Saturday but to say it was dangerous is just plain nonsense.
I did get this from Facebook.
I was around all morning and if you had come over and mentioned your disenchantment with me or the track I would have refunded your money.
I would rather not log onto here to see such negative posts but I guess it goes with posting here.
I would bet you didn't take a ride around any other parts of my property to find a spot on one of the 4 tracks that were open that day, to try to find a little fun on your bike.
I understand what kids are looking for nowadays but, understand that adverse conditions are what many riders have grown up on and like Hudak said ride the mud and the dry and you'll become a better rider.
Additionally if your still bummed that I cancelled my first race of the year all I can say is, again sorry, along with I was VERY bummed to have to do that. I had worked hard prior, only to get dumped on all night as well as all morning. Sign up is supposed to start at 7. So I cancelled at 6:45am.
That should have been plenty of time considering on a day like that, had I ran it, no one wants to go out for practice at 9 and most would not have signed up or even wanted to race at 11am.
