Not putting down Marc Peters but there are several track builders in the Northwest that Marc Peters has nothing on, at probably half the cost. And they would be around to modify, tweek and improve as needed. Steve would have easly been as good or better than any Marc Peters track.
Do some of these track owners do any research?
Argggg!

I would love to see Pacific rebuilt just the way it was around 2005 or 06. Those where some great races and the track seemed to flow like magic. Super fun place to watch mx on a friday night.

Isn't the track going to be in a new location on the property? I thought they were going to reverse the direction of the dragstrip and use the old mx area for the drag pits? The site map shows the mx track in a new area also.

New location won't happen for awhile but is a go for the future spot just a blank canvas. It looks kinda cool with grass growing over the entire place, gets the creative juices flowing. Rode my first design today(no jumps) was 1:43 at 80 % speed. 1:18 just the front (night) section. Work in progress but is there anything else when your making tracks?

Ok everyone here is the deal. Smail is the MX track manager. We will be looking for volunteer help at some point in the near future. The track is flat right now and Lance is trying to just get things rolling right now. He would like to ask everyone to STAY OUT OF THE FACILITY right now. He would like to keep people out until it is up and running unless you have talked to him and you are expected to be there. The road in is the only road for the Miles gravel people to use for the trucks and Lance can't stress enough how important it is to keep everyone happy down there right now. So again Lance and all the management at Pacific Raceways is asking that we stay out of there until the track is up and running. It is a work in progress and we need everyone to understand that it will not help at all to be out there nosing around. Thanks to everyone for the support and understanding on this subject.

So we can't show up and ask "What are ya doin Lance?" "Where's the track gonna go?" Why don't ya build a jump like this?" "My 250 junior rider can ride Stadium whoops like the pros so are you gonna build real stadium whoops? "I done built a prefessional track fer my girl racer. Y'all should hire me!"

I think Greg needs to be hired as the security guard. He would be called"Smail Security" and he could run interferance for Lance so he can do the job.

Good luck Lance. It's gonna be tough, but you are. Yee Haa. Riding closer that $20.00 each way.

Bro, if its all flat. Can I bring my quad and bust some sick doughnuts?

I think you should have intial test test riders to see if it meets everyones ability. I will volunteer my time to validate if all of the jumps are indeed rollable and the tip overness of the corners. Seriously I am really excited for this. One big question though is are they bringing in new good dirt?

Haha! We actually saw that happen on top of a table there during open practice while bikes were on the track when the Quad guys were running it!
