SERIOUSLY THINKING OF BUILDING TRACK!!

[RTR_380/450R]

RT RACING HAS A SERIOUS OPPORTUNITY OF BUILDING AND OPENING A NEW TRACK! ONE THAT IS GEARED TOWARDS 2-3 DIFFERENT STYLES OF TRACKS- FOR BOTH ATV AND THOSE DARNED 2-WHEEL CONTRAPTIONS!
1. A HIGH SPEED TT TRACK- DONE THE RIGHT WAY!
2. A 300 FT DRAG STRIP
3. A VERY QUAD FRIENDLY MX TRACK.
LOCATION WOULD BE IN BOWLING GREEN(HARDEE CNTY) WHICH IS LOCATED ABOUT 30 MIN S. OF BARTOW ON HWY 17
VERY EASY TO GET TO AND CENTRALLY LOCATED BETWEEN EVERYBODY.
PLEEEEEEASSE GIVE FEEDBACK AND OPINIONS ON THIS! WE NEED TO MAKE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE DECISION RATHER QUICKLY!
I PERSONALLY THINK WE COULD EASILY PULL 150 BIKES A RACE WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO HARD!

[Smoknbanshee]

daytime racing or night racing?  what kind of sand for the 300 ft sand drag track?  membership fee per year?  
just a couple of questions people are curious about.  Glad to see you guys in saltsdale.  It is a little far for me, but I would still come to watch atleast or help.  Let me know if I can help you guys with anything.

[KEV96]

I think now would be a good time for a mx track.Some of your tracks down south are closing(thunder cross).There is aren't any good tracks in this area.

[ATOMCRF450]

GO FOR IT!
SAND DRAG AND MX FOR ME.

[bartowmx#3]

yea drags and mx sound good for me!!!

[robo02cop]

I say put in the TT......there is only one other flat track in the state for quads!!!!

[400EX]

jason sounds good to me.. lol u know i will be there. i think a bunch of peeps would go. i dunno all i got to say is git-r-done. lol how yall do at saltsdale? i think I might go out there next race.

[RTR_380/450R]

IT WOULD PROBABLY BE DAY RACES AT FIRST UNTIL WE COULD GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUE FOR LIGHTS.
MEMBER FEES AND ETC; WOULD PROBABLY BE THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE DEPENDING ON THE INITIAL QUALITY OF THE FACILITIES.  ONE THING THAT WE HAVE TO ALL REALIZE AS RIDERS AND RACERS IS THAT IT TAKES ALOT OF $ TO RUN A TRACK THE RIGHT WAY!  IM TIRED OF MICKEY MOUSE CRAP!
AND IM TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT TAKING QUADS SERIOUSLY AS A MEANS OF RACING EXCITEMENT.
WE WOULD DO ALL THREE EVENTUALLY! NOT JUST ONE.
THE DRAG WOULD BE EASY. THE MX TRACK WOULD BE EASY!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE TT TRACK WOULD BE THE HARDEST TO MAINTAIN BECAUSE OF THE TRACK TEXTURE NEEDED TO RUN IT!
WERE GOING TO LOOK AT THE PROPERTY THIS WEEK! HIGH AND DRY NEVER WET!
NEVER TOO HOT! NEVER TOO COLD! NEVER TOO WET! NEVER TO MANY BULLCRAP EXCUSES.

[Smoknbanshee]

yes it does take alot of money.  saltsdale was straight up awesome this month.  Everything ran very smooth once we got everyone there and getting ready for october.  I can tell you to put on the races in saltsdale it does take some time, especially when you try to to do new stuff.  RTR - you call my operation mickey mouse?  I thought you enjoyed it?  Give me some credit.

[Kirklandrock]

HEY SMOKE!
IN NO WAY WAS THAT OPERATION A MICKEY MOUSE OPERATION.  I HAD A CRAP LOAD OF FUN. THE ONLY THING MICKEY MOUSE THERE WAS MY INABILITY TO GET OFF THE LINE.  YOU GUYS WERE GREAT AND MORE THAN FAIR IN ALOT OF CASES.  YOU WERE EVEN GOING TO ALLOW   POPS  TO RUN AGAIN JUST BECAUSE HIS OLD AZZ COULDNT SEE THE LIGHTS.  WE TOTALLY ENJOYED IT. AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS MY FIRST DRAG EVER.  BY THE WAY, YOU GOT TO ADMIT, THAT 380 WAS STROKIN IT!!!!! JUST GOT LEARN HOW TO GET OUT THE HOLE.  
IT RAN SMOOTH. IT WAS FUN. I RECOMMEND THAT ANY BODY WHO LIKES TO DRAG GO THERE. UNFORTUNATELY MY TT BIKE WASNT QUITE SET UP FOR IT. NEXT TIME BROTHER, NEXT TIME!!
BY MICKEY MOUSE, I MEANT PLACES IVE BEEN BEFORE THAT WONT RACE BECAUSE ITS HOT!!! OR BETTER YET BECAUSE THEY WONT MAKE LOTS OF MONEY AND ARE'NT WILLING TO INVEST IN IT TO MAKE IT BETTER.  STARTS WITH SAND ENDS WITH MOUNTAIN.

[RTR_380/450R]

HEY KIRK- SCHEIPSMEIRS PROPERTY IN TORREY OAKS. HES PUSHING ALL THE GROVE THERE.  HE ALSO JUST STARTED HIS OWN LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION BUSINESS. HOW CONVENIENT IS THAT. HI AND DRY, PONDS TO PUMP WATER FROM, PLENTY OF PARKING SPACE, GOOD HARD SOLID GROUND!  IF WE THINK WE CAN PAY FOR IT AND MAKE A LITTLE MONEY, THEN ITS ON! IT WILL TAKE A WHILE BUT WITHIN 5-6 MONTHS IT COULD BE TOP NOTCH.

HEY CUT- I HAVE A 10 YR OLD AND 5 YR OLD! YOU KNOW THE KIDS WILL BE INCLUDED.  BY THE WAY, I SAW YOUR BIKE RUN AFTER YOU GOT THE NOS WORKING!!!!!!!! MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT STORY ON THE DRAG!!!!

[LE450-RACER#77]

I say hell yea buy the property & give us somewhere else to race. I would like to race more than once a month but we don't have anywhere to do it.

[LIV2RIDE]

Sounds good. Just don't let Marshall race there

[cutngrs]

THATS COOL  MY KIDS HAD A BLAST PAIGE GOT 2 IN THE KIDS CLASS MY BOY DID A FACE PLANT ON HIS DIRT BIKE THE SAND WAS A LITTLE SOFT FOR HIM BUT NO FEAR AND  I GOT THE NOS TO WORK BUT  HAD THE WONG GAS IN IT SO I WAS GETTING DETINATION  ILL BE READY AT THE NEXT RACE TELL YOUR DAD TO GET TO WORK

[RTR_380/450R]

CUT-
SOUNDS GOOD BROTHER. POPS WILL GET SET UP FOR SAND INSTEAD OF PAVEMENT AND HE'LL BE FINE. THAT SECOND RUN OF HIS WAS AWESOME. HE PLANTED SOME SERIOUS POWER DOWN HE JUST NEEDS TO SET UP FOR SAND.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THIS TOGETHER! I KNOW ALL OF MY ATVFLORIDA BROTHERS AND SISTERS WILL SUPPORT

AND AS FOR MARSHALL- YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEPLACE FOR THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED TO RIDE!!

[SuzukiMan]

Heck yea, buy it......i would come. its close where i live.not to far. Git-r-done

[fasterblasterGP]

when you say very quad friendly does that mean it would pretty much suck for dirt bikes, cause once i get my qaud i was lookin into gettin a gasgas125 for MX since i love dirtbikes on a good track?

[Hollywood]

I think you could pull 10 or so bikes from the Ocala area between all the types of racing you mentioned.

"BY MICKEY MOUSE, I MEANT PLACES IVE BEEN BEFORE THAT WONT RACE BECAUSE ITS HOT!!! OR BETTER YET BECAUSE THEY WONT MAKE LOTS OF MONEY AND ARE'NT WILLING TO INVEST IN IT TO MAKE IT BETTER.  STARTS WITH SAND ENDS WITH MOUNTAIN. "  

Wow, harsh words.  I guess we should all go around and bash everyone, without even knowing what is going on.  RTR, I can guess what/and who you are, although I am not positive.  But, if you are who I think you are, you and yours have received nothing less than FREE & UNCONDITIONAL support from the folks at Sand Mountain.  Now that I understand we are "MICKEY MOUSE" in your eyes, which, by the way, is an UNFAIR and completely UNFOUNDED comment, as you have NO IDEA what efforts and lengths we are going through just to be ready by October 3rd, as planned, maybe the folks at Sand Mountain should reconsider.................
We realize we can't make everyone happy ALL the time, but to go around and say we are "MICKEY MOUSE" and chicken shizit or whatever other choice words you care to use is just down right lousy!  EVERY single structure on the property was DESTROYED, the track was washed out worse than I have EVER seen and is still holding water.  As far as the heat is concerned, you, me and John Q racer out there can handle it, and we can decide what we should or should not do, but, as parents and as responsible adults, sometimes we need to make adjustments and changes to things in EVERYONES best interest, whether everyone agrees with it or not.  When running a facility such as this, SAFETY of EVERYONE should be your primary concern, and it is mine.  
My final comments to you would be these...

1.  BUILD YOUR TRACK, AND BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.
     I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

2.  IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR TRACK, DON'T COME!  But do NOT get on a forum such as this and bash someone else when you have NO IDEA what is going on behind the scenes.  and last...

3.  IF YOU THINK MONEY IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD CHARGE EVERYONE WHO COMES THROUGH THE GATE RACES, RIGHT?
