Super close is a relative location :-)

ding ding Evergreen Speedway is correct.

Were talking a lot of rock. Lee what's the plan to mitagate the solid, multiple dimension orbs.

That was a Duwamish tribe slang describing the northwests most pervasive moto weed.

Lee, what time is skagit practice on friday and whats it cost?..as long as the weather holds out....

Will this be in the middle of the oval Lee????or somewere else onsite????

Trucking it in. I had 1500 yards of pretty good stuff we screened for Monster Trucks in the back. It will be in two different spots and the two areas will be joined by crossing the 3/8 oval.

oops 5/13 4-9 Skagit practice. gates opens at 330 for sign up

Lee, where can we find out track info and cost, cancelations.ect...not really any info on skagits website...being in wa, weather could be a big factor i.e. Hannegan...do you have a number we can call to check updates???

they should have the updated info up soon on there website and I will put rain out info on my office voice mail friday morning if there is going to be a rain out. 253-520-0601

Hey Lee, post some pics of the track on the Skagit Speedway site. Will be there Friday to see personally, but we'd all like to see what she looks like.

Last years pics whet the appitite, so lets see it.

Crap man...all this everyplace this weekend be puttng the Seattle Motorcycle Club, est 1943, in a world of hurt...

Oh my Du’k^wi-bahth (God)!

Can it be, a westie (for those folks East of Cascade Mtns) track less than an hours drive from Gods Own Country N. Bend WA. Oh, oh, oh say it aint so.

About mid way twixt the Bend and Monroe lies a most magnificent Subway store in Duvall WA. Been there done that. Store has good quality and good service just never been there in the Summer time. Been stopping in when I was heading down to one of Lee’s Arena Cross Winter events.

Might have to bring a bike along come 2011.

So want's guy to do? Subway...has stopped making my most beloved "Toasted Jalapeno, Onion and Olive Steak & Cheese topped with Chipotle sauce sandwich". Riding won't be the same without it ... or?

Saving my pennies, saving my dimes I’ll be-a saving about every thing I got if it’s true that dirt bike riding will be possible at Monroe Fairgrounds come summer 2011.

Went out for opening nite practice. Weather was good, turn out was pretty good too. Maybe 100 with essentially no advertising. Track was an arenacross type track with a little more legs, but tight turns. Got there late and the ruts were too deep and gooey for my dry land preference, so I did a couple rounds and called it a day. Couldn't get speed up and just rolled everything, out of my element and just not feeling it at all last night.

Practices rotations were 8 minutes each. And the set up was nice for arenacross types, too easy for most of y'all but it had a nice double, double, double rythem and a couple little coffee-table tops, and it would be a great track out back of your house. Also looks like a great track for training like Eric does - especially a lot of areas that beginners and intermediates could benefit from. If it were drier in turns and earlier in the day I would have gotten more out of it. But then again I'm a rut-weenie, ride early and on dry days only.

Don't want to give a real opinion, as others had a gas and I didn't. Would be willing to give it another shot if I were in the area, but with same dist to BR, Cadillac, Straddeline I think I'll be staying south. Hope someone who just killed it and likes it posts too. (keep in mind my comments are from someone who prefers Horn, Toes, Odessa and the others mentioned above - arena-size just too tight for me)

I had a blast yesterday. The track is easy but still fun. It did get very rutted up which made it a little tougher. Ill be there every week to race.

i thought it was good . couldnt seem to find a good rythem either. i think if i regeared my bike for it id like it better. seemed 2nd gear was too low but 3rd was too tall. track had good flow except for the s turn and that peaked up table before the 3 double section where you enter the track. normally i never ride tight tracks like this but it was good and should get better once the jump faces settle in. definately good practice for ruts. i think they have a good start going and its close to home for me
