A Day in The Dirt- Ohio 2019

[premix]

For as long as I've remembered, I've wanted to attend this event, but being on the opposite side of country, it's a stretch to say the least. I'd love to see a 3 day GP style event like this in Ohio in 2019. Anyone else? Any tracks capable of holding something like this?

I would love it.Weather is too shitty here.

That has always looked like a damn good time-
And now with Red Bull in the mix - it's going to keep getting better.

Definitely couldn’t hold it around Turkey day. 2018 was a rough year weather wise. What about early summer after qualifiers or late summer?

Im going to do this. Let's get a group together and do it next year! I could probably haul 6 extra bikes out.

Turn Dave-fest-in-the-dirt into a two day event and save the gas money. [emoji41]

Looked into that, not cheap at all.

That is an idea but the expenses would start to get cost prohibitive for a free event.

I’ll commit now. This is an event I’ve wanred to do for the last few years and with fellow Pitracer’s in the mix...I would do it.

Why if we got 1-2 rigs with a trailer that we can pack full.....fly out. Ride your own bike....

I really wanna just drive across the country with my dad. We’ve never been farther than Oklahoma. Would be awesome to see the country past that part.

Its a good event for a good cause. Cover your cost then donate the rest. If "free" is the only reason people come then they are missing the whole idea.

This event had been on my list of things i want to attend. Def want to drive out and ride my own bike.

Ok so we make a little Pitracer caravan.

Smith’s rig
Baker family rig
And....who else......


Really I would rather do a 2-3 week trip like that hitting tracks in California than chase qualifier and regionals.....

Do the Vet national at Gen Helen and then hang around until DITD.

Friend of mine did the Vet National this year. Flew out rented a bike. Raced a brand new 2019 Yamaha YZ 450. Seems to me with the distance and expense, that would be the way to go. Yeah renting a bike is expensive, so is 4 days of driving and diesel fuel out and back.

I still think it would be cheaper for us to drive. Need 2 rental bikes 4 plane tickets cause we cant go to a track and leaves the dogs homes plus hotel expense. In all the trips we have taken half the fun is the travel time there. Def have to plan accordingly and make some stops on the way out and back at places we want to ride. I agree with georgie it needs to be a 2-3 week trip.

How much is it to rent a bike?

 

[MarctheSharc]

CLE to San Diego = 2,405 miles one way
X 2 = 4,810 miles total
Divided by 10 miles to the gallon = 481
481 X 3.25 (cost of gal of fuel)

$1,563.25 in fuel ......if you can get a consistent 10 MPG.

MapQuest says 35 hours -- UGH
