Just heard Daniel Blair on main event moto say Lorettas was being moved to ironman in the near future... anyone else hear that?
They just signed a 10 year deal with Loretta’s. All the workers on the ranch were excited about it. That event brings more money to that town than anything. They are glad to have it.
how is camping there?
AMA should buy out the Chillitown contract....
Camper spots... And same basic flat track.Lmao.....why down grade???

Well Ironman does have a creek. All they need now is some hookups and a pavilion with a pool and voila instantly better than LL.
You could ride your bicycle to Walmart.....top that. Way more s**t you might need at walmart vs the LL country store, or that gas station everyone rode pitters to at CT. Crawfordsville has so much normal stuff, stores, restaurants, etc. and its so close to the track, its like cheating. You could ride a bicycle to the damn BW3s but I do usually drive.
If they were to change the ironman track back to last years layout, add 500 hookups, done. Case closed. You wont touch it.
No way. The draw to Loretta’s for a lot of people, myself included, is the history and exclusion. Taking my first lap of practice on that particular track was the most rewarding feeling I’ve had in moto yet.
I’ve ridden Ironman already without having to earn my ride there, cool track but chasing Loretta’s would lose its luster for me at that point.
Maybe for amateurs coming through the ranks they don’t care about that stuff, but I know there’s a special meaning to spending a week on that plot of land for a lot of families. You’ll never replicate that anywhere else.
I know they do the AMA and Quad nationals there. is there any other races there during the year?
That is one thing I think is cool about LL is that no one rides it before the Am National.
*edit Just went and read up on it. Looks like they do a GNCC and state championship races there too?
Pump track, swimming pond, big fire pit. I couldnt get logan to leave then lolNote to self, expand creek at BC, make it accessible to all humans and golf carts!! Would be cool if there was a conveyor to bring you back to the little beach area for the creek.
Not just this, but any top tier training facility is building a "replica" track for their racers. Hell, Chad Ward even built a replica of LL three years ago.The whole nobody can ride LL is played out. If you go once, you have an advantage, because the track doesn't really change.
