Who watched tonights supercross then? I was in the crowd it was amazing! Philips and Tory killed the final. Anthony Dean was looking fast all night also

Tory's stepped up bigtime.

I didn't see but I heard it was one of the more exciting races of the SX series.

Always good to see a new track being built but a lack of drainage & not screening out the rocks from the dirt will cause some issues in the future.Why start off behind the 8 ball.If your going through the trouble of getting earth moving machines why not get a screen as well to remove the rocks.

Like I said its "in the making" the last length of the track is not finished, the gate was just installed today, some rocks have been moved but we still have a lot of work to do before they roll over it to smooth it out, pave the start, and remove all unessesary rocks. The picture does not show how nice this track actually is but I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

Here's what I've been up to the last couple weeks. Opening day race was last Sunday. Did all the work in 2 weeks. A friend of mine is an electrician and came in and repaired all the light poles that didn't have power so we'll be able to run races at night (first time in 12 years). Local landscaping place that brought in equipment also hydro seeded it. Can't wait to see some grass grow! It's going to look legit!

The small track in the middle is the strider track before we got the gate installed.

Here's my pride and joy! My son rides striders and the old track was pretty pitiful. I worked out a new design with the track committee and spoke with a few vendors I use through work about a starting gate. I designed this up in Solidworks and had them manufacture it and powder coat. Used it for the first time Sunday and it worked just perfect! I'm in the blue jersey and my boy is in front of me.

I'd say it's about a 2 hour drive from Toledo.

Shoot me a message if you stop down! We have quite a few people who travel to the track. I know a guy who comes every week from PA and a few from southern Ohio.

Wish there were more people that would come out. We had 30 motos Sunday which is a pretty good turn out.
