Where is this at?

MTX, or is there a chance of a DS or some maybe light DH?
Everyone remember that this is a friendly competition that will broken down into an Expert and Sport class. There will be dual with qualifying, but with BMX motos meaning everyone will get at least 3 race runs before the semi-finals. The four racers with the most points will race head to head for the title and the best trophy ever (some junk from my house).

The DH trails are always open and we will time runs there as well. Mostly for bragging rights but I should be able to find more junk for the champion.

Directions: Take I-26 to Johnson City, TN. Take exit 31 and turn left (either direction) and approx 1 mile on left will be Southwest Ave (ETSU Campus). At four way take left (Still Southwest Ave) and then take the first left. At the end of the road is the physical plant recieving warehouse. Park there and the slalom is on the left.

Thanks Terry.
That is good news.
I don't give a hoot about prizes, but timed runs are always fun.
Break out the paper plate number plates and lets race.:)

Yeah, bring your hardtail. The DS course is a lot of fun and totally competitive on a HT. The DH course is rideable on one, but some sections will slow you down a bit. It will be fun.

I'll be there if I can find someone to watch my dogs.

Anyone suggest somewhere to throw up my tent?

And what's the show, race Saturday? So can I come in for practice on Friday?

Race Saturday at 5pm? I am still stuck in Norfolk due to my wife's crap, so I might be able to get out tomorrow real early and drive like hell.

Is there anything on Sunday?

We got some rain last night, but the course drains really well and the sky looks like it is going to clear. Should be fine for a late afternoon race! The DH will be a little greasy at first, but should get better by the time we do runs.

We ended up staying here, just too hard to get out for a Saturday race right now. Work plus family stuff just makes that a killer for an 8 hour drive.

Turn out was low, but it was still a lot of fun. We each did 3 timed runs. Andrew Parson won the DH. I don't remember his fastest time, but a 1:38 sticks in my head. No prizes, though Andrew really had his eye on that broken weedeater. My fastest was a 1:41 and I think stubby got a 2:09. There were two other guys that ran the DH as well, but I don't remember their times. The course was muddy and real slick. The dual course was way too muddy to run, so we called. I believe either Andrew or Terry would have won that as well.
