It's changed a time or two since those pictures, but it's a nice little track to ride. Thanks again to Don and Charlie for letting my family and I ride there. ?

BTW, the track is located in the Dennison area.

Here is the news for practice at Grantsburg this weekend... bad news. The forecast calls for a high of 35 with rain on Saturday. Good for the track, bad for the riders. Most don't want to sit around in that sort of weather for practice, so we are calling it off. NO PRACTICE SATURDAY.

The good news is: we only got a couple of inches of snow, and it is already melting. Sunday calls for lots of sun with no wind and temeratures around 50. Great racing weather! So, as long as there are no major shifts in the weather pattern, WE WILL BE RACING SUNDAY!!! You are invited to come and camp on Saturday night. Sunday morning the gates open at 6:00, sign-up at 7:00, practice at 8:30. Check out the website and hotline for the latest, official news.

That's the nice thing about Grantsburg and Wheelers. Sand tracks so they dry out quickly.

Now I have to decide whether I go, and get limited track time to test / setup my bike, or wait for future possibilities and get LOTS of track time for complete setup...

It may have been said already, but this ? weather really blows !!!?

[MX86]

atleast you can see the ground.... ?

News on the Moto Event for this weekend: April 12 - 13

The track is 100% ready for riding! However, the weather stinks. But there is good news and bad news. The good news is: we only got a couple of inches of snow, and it is already melting. The bad news is: the forecast calls for a high of 35 with rain on Saturday. Good for the track, bad for the riders. Most don't want to sit around in that sort of weather for practice, so we are calling it off.

NO PRACTICE SATURDAY.

Sadly, we must also announce the cancellation of the race on Sunday, April 13th . Someone forgot to tell the weather that it’s not winter anymore. Optimism and determination to have the race has been shot down by the reality of the weather. We hope you have read this, or heard it on the hotline, before making the trip to the track, and we apologize for any inconvenience the cancellation may have caused you.

If spring is finally here in three weeks, the only other Grantsburg motocross of the year will be held on the weekend of May 3-4.

Yeah, it's not like I don't have the time...!!!

I DO get a one mile swim in at the Andover YMCA Sunday mornings.

The whole endeaver (drive there, swim, sneak peaks at the ladies working out ? , drive home) takes all of two hours easy.

BTW, Your vids are sitting on my mantle collecting dust...

UPDATE - April 13 MX RACE

We had an inch of snow overnight. Jack went out on the track this morning(6:15 A.M.) with no problem. He feels he can get the track in good riding conditions if the forecast stays favorable for Sunday. If you have any questions please call 507-534-3276 or Jack's cell 259-0269. Gates will be open until 10:00 and reopen at 6:30 for Sunday.

As of this moment, I'm heading to the Sandbox tomorrow for the morning session. Heading out ot the garage now to get things together so I can head out right away.

[MN_Kevin]

Anyone race?

If so, how was Kellogg (# guys, how many laps, etc, etc) ?

And, how did you do?

[98cr250r]

Waiting for the ground to dry up a little bit. Havn't done much riding on my new springs yet, so I have to spend a few hours riding on them before I'll go anywhere. If this "new found" summer weather holds out, it won't be too long now ?

[ForceTen]

That's part of the reason why I want to ride before a few races Charlie. I had my suspension redone over the winter with new springs. Want to get them softened up and me used to it.

If the weather holds like it is, think the track will be ready by Sat/Sun?

Just looked at the track this morning. I think by the end of the tomorrow, it will be pretty good, except for a couple of spots. If the weather holds 'till the weekend, it should be awesome!
