Plainfield, that is getting really close to me. I just found out that they let quads ride in Byron. I have not been there yet but do plan on going. Where else do you ride? We go to Attica, IN. alot. Silver Lakes, MI. June 3rd and 4th. What type of riding is in Byron?

I've mountain biked down near Danville. Any quad riding down there? jad.

Where is this Arsenal Road Track? I would be interested in checking it out. Silver Lakes was very empty this last weekend compared to what others said that had been there before. Sat. we got there at 7:00 and were one of the first there and on Sun. we went at 10:00am and it was still wide open parking lot. Are you going to be at the Arsenal Road track on Fri.?

I think that place is also called Carpy's Cove I've heard of it. Maybe I will see you there next week. I might check out the practice on Wed. also I am off on Wed.

iride and jad you guys ever get out to Byron? I went out on a week day (open track) great time!! Hey iride,did you buy those shocks yet? If you get the Works save your money and get the triples and skip the reservoirs. Unless you are Doug Gust you won't make 'em fade. I know they don't look as cool but next winter send them to Todd at TCS. He makes 'em into duals and installs his own cans so the extra money you spend on the Works cans goes out the window. If you race them in a variety of conditions the adjustability with the cans may be worth it. later fellas, Rob

Byron or motorsport park as it is known is mostly a natural terrain motocross track. They also have a few hundred acres of trails that they run Hare Scrambles on. They hold races on the weekends so if you just want to put around, go during the week. I think they are open daily. I'm pretty sure their web address is www.motorsportpark,com. hey iride, can u ride the trails/course the moose is run on? [legally] hey jad, you ought to bring you and some buddies out to Arsenal Road track for the Friday night races. There are usually 5-10 quads out there with various performance and skill levels. In fact, a friend of mine finished 6th in distict 17 and he had never raced before, besides that he rides a stock motored 250x. I am gonna have my bike back together for the races on the 9th I'm also gong to Silver lake Sat.8 thru tues 11. Make sure you get your vouchers for sat and sun. No ticky no washy

Coming up from Wilmington, get off I-55 at exit 241. Go west to Blodgett rd. and go left. It's about 2 miles down the road on the left hand side. It's behind the Go-kart track.
