Flat track racing at TF

[Jason Hall]

AWHHH MAN! Now i got to build a flattracker in 4 months...

[dizasterzrfun69]

Bring you rear down to Sunsetramblers and race there. They have a nice track, and Derrick will lead you around it ( that guy is nuts ).

i'd love to howdy but im dumping all kinds of cash into preparing for tf07. Im trying to get my 85 r project done, rebuild my 350x, get my 310 drag bike running right, and hopefully get a car trailer and a new truck before trikefest I know i wont get it all done but im bustin balls to get done as much as i can possibly do/afford.

The hardware stores ought to have the tape, they call it survey tape but we'll use it for marking the course off.

Chris, best I can recall the area we're talking about is dirt, and had wood chips over it in a couple places. I believe its like their overflow parking area on the extra large holiday weekends. Flat tracks are all different sizes...they range from 1/4 mile in circumference to over 5/8s at some. If we can fit a 1/4 mile one in that place that'd be sweet but I'm not sure we can.

1/4 to 5/8 mile equals exactly how many feet of tape?

[Billy Golightly]

ALOT, but we don't have to tape off the whole thing, mainly just the corners and maybe a few places in the straights would be about it I think. It wont stay up there long anyways, the guys on 4x4s and stuff will probably run through it the instant we leave the area.

you think we'd actually have to leave the area before they tore it up?

[Billy Golightly]

well hopefully they stay out of it while we're there, I'd hate to come around a corner in the dust cloud and plow into the side of a cut up 82 chevy blazer with no doors or roof

[erectordale]

I will look I have a large roll of construction Caution tape if I can remember where I put it about 400 yards long

well its the truth! haha

I'd sure give it my best shot What about the big open area behind the building and above the small MX track? I think thatd be a decent place and it wouldnt be right in the middle of a main trail.

Just to give you guys a heads up, that area would be a good place (although sometimes they park a lot of vehicles there on weekends) but the dirt there is clay, and when it rains and they drive trucks through it to park, it dries into a rock hard, mega-rough washboard. It will most likely require some equipment to make it smooth enough to cornerslide flat track style.

hmmmm maybe i could float pete an abe lincoln to level it out that does prove to be a potential problem. i kinda hate to even ask pete to help out on yet another one of our speacial "requests" He already gives so much. any ideas?

[Billy Golightly]

We might be able to use Raffas drag he has for the strip? Don't know how much it'll help but would be worth a try.

We ran 1/8 &1/10 mile bull rings around here with the others mention also.
