KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...........

hey phil the pics came out real good thanks

[LAYNFRM]

awesome. i'm pumped. i need to make another trip out there one day.

[Juice]

Freaking awesome, Badger's new bike will be ready before the end of the month.

[six fiddy]

hope to have the track ready this week the rain really screwed us up; would have been poured last friday; oh well

[mattc]

Looking good! Can't wait to come out and ride again.

[six fiddy]

update on the track; we were able to get all the cement poured today; dont know if yall noticed it was a little warm out there; everytthing went very well and the new track should be ready to ride next week

[Zutopong]

Nice, how big is the expansion? How big is that track?

[six fiddy]

the track was a quarter mile track and we added about 300 feet to it; i have a feeling the new renovation will make the track feel like it is twice as long; it should have much better flow and a better rhythum to it

[Juice]

Carl, Badgers bike is almost ready. We got it lowered and shaved the seat. It's just about right for him. Can't wait to get back to Moore Park. If we could just get them to let us camp onsite......

[six fiddy]

yea that would be great ill check with the park superintendent; i live about 2 miles from the track and have room for yall to camp out there and yall could probably talk me into barbequing for yall

[Juice]

We need to get that coon-ass from Biloxi to come ride Moore Park with us.

[six fiddy]

talking about my buddy darrell he was in lafayette last weekend and told me he was gonna get one of his bikes ready for mini moto; he has a xr250 honda and a kx125 kawasaki two stroke; he is in the process of motarding one of them; so he will be able to participate also ;

[Juice]

Carl, is Eric out? You taking over the track? If so, we really need to start promoting the hell of of this thing?

[six fiddy]

yes unfortunately eric had to give up running the track; hes done a great job with the track; i will be assisting chris burchfield and anthony harwin the go kart guy with running the track; i think if we added on to the track like some of the diagrams you saw it would make it into one hell of a track; i am willing to get the work done i just need a little help on the financial end of it; with the donations of work and all we got the last addition to the track done for about 35 dollars a running foot; which means we could add 500ft of track for about 17;000 dollars; you cant buy a pickup truck for that price and it would make a huge difference in the track; i talked to the park and recreation superintendent and he gave us the okay for all the plans that you saw in the drawings; he just didnt give us the money; if we had someone or a couple of three people to put up the money we could get the track added on to and from track revenue pay them back hopefully in maybe 3 years; so it wouldnt be a donation it would be more of a loan; and if someone were interested in loaning us the money that could probably get them a lifetime memembership to the track plus getting their money back;

[six fiddy]

dont all volunteer to put up the 17;000 dollars all at once; yall are overloading the internet connections

[six fiddy]

oh and by the way all of the renovations that we are currently doing are being paid for by the mini moto and the go kart track funds; so bring youre friends out when yall come out to ride and hopefully we can do more additions in the near future

[six fiddy]

by the way all the money collected for yearly memberships and the 25dollar a day trackday fee go back into the track; hopefully some of these renovations make us feel better about paying the memberships and trackday fees;

[CajunRider]

Hmm... $200 worth of slicks on a 21"-18" rim combo... (KLX450 - Boy, would a set of 17" rims be nice.....). $25/day track fee...

TONS OF MOTARD FUN..........

Sounds like a winner!!!

[Badger]

very cool, we will be ready to ride soon.

[six fiddy]

great badger; come on out and you can ride the 150; it seemed that you took to riding it in no time at all; you were up to pace and riding with good rhythum; those drz 400s are some great bikes; looking forward to riding with yall in the near future

[six fiddy]

went out to mpr today and started taking off the forms from the cement work; brought my house washer and also cleaned the track; was able to make a few laps on the track though it was wet and had a lot of dirt and dust on it from the addition to the track;boy it sure seemed to ride great had a good rhythum and pretty good traction considering; looking forward to running the track dry if it ever stops raining

[chopt]

Sounds good Carl, thanks for your good/hard work. I can't wait to ride it.

[six fiddy]

went out to the track this morning and fininished picking up the forms; the track is now ready to ride ; after awhile the track finally dried up and i was able to ride the track in clean and dry conditions; new design track record is 31.26 ; old track record was 27.4 seconds about 4 seconds different; even though with the new track you are carrying more speed throughout the track; the new track really is enjoyable to ride and the concrete seemed to have very good traction; the new section through the kink on the track made a huge difference in those 3 turns; i think you guys are really gonna like it; oh and talking about backing it in when you run the track counterclockwise going down the back straight is awesome for backing it in

[chopt]

oh and talking about backing it in when you run the track counterclockwise going down the back straight is awesome for backing it in

did ya find yaself a tire sponsor yet. That new cement oughta be taking the rubber off, like an eraser on a piece-a-sandpaper.

[six fiddy]

wanted to let yall know we had a new member join mpr mini moto club today; his name is mr gott from lake charles and is a ex dirt track rider and sounds like he has done some ice racing; he rides a atk 650; looking forward to riding with him in the future

[Juice]

Thats awesome news. We need to start promoting it heavily.

[six fiddy]

wanted to let yall know we have new members ; jay venable and his sons bailey and hunter from lafayette and brian bare and his son charlie from lafayette and we have a new member go kart rider karl winston from baton rouge; welcome and lets ride

[six fiddy]

okay guys heres the plan ; if you go to the second diagram of the track called ultimate plan by chopt; i was able to take a accurate measurement and it came out to 1000ft; that means that we could be riding this track configuration in two weeks from now; the cost of the new track addition would be 35000dollars; we are looking for 10 donations of 3500dollars each; in appreciation of youre donation you would receive a lifetime membership to the track for you and youre immediate family ;kids under 18 years old; my name is first on the list; if interested post up or if you have any questions;by the way anthony the go kart guy has also agreeded on the 3500; so only 8 more donations to go; lets ride ; ps i think if you look at the diagram you will realize this would be a exceptional track to ride ; id appreciate youre consideration for this donation

[chopt]

Carl, I hit a roadblock but I may still be in for 500 for the two year membership. I have to wait to see how this turns-out.

[six fiddy]

dont put yourself in a bind just throwing it out there; i just got back from the track we moved the fence and i was working on designing the dirt section or the next planned concrete section; i borrowed my buddy xr100 with knobbies on it ; i just had a blast ; didnt stop riding till i couldnt see anymore; i dont think we are gonna want to concrete the next 900ft of track after yall get a chance to ride it dirt; i rode it today still grass and ive changed my mind about the concrete; i think we ought to leave it just like that; half dirt and half asphalt ; supermotard

[kojack]

i will try it out sunday, sounds like fuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnn

[six fiddy]

sorry forgot to mention trackday 25dollars and sign the release forms ; and it will be fuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[chopt]

Although I hadn't ridden it yet, leaving it dirt sounds like a blast. I vote for leaving it dirt. Maybe Round-up the section and let us do the rest. wooohooo.

[six fiddy]

i just got back from the track ; we were able to rent a machine that cuts the grass right at the top of the dirt and we rented a tractor with a front end loader and a box scraper ; we made a change to the new turn that i think everyone will enjoy the turn much better it took about 3yards of cement; we took the front end loader and scraped up the cut grass and put it around the track to help alleviate the 4 to 6 inch drop off we had with the new blacktop;all in all things are headed in the right direction; really disappointed with the rain tommorrow could have got a lot more done while it was dry;hope the dirt section is dry for sunday but if not we still have the new 300ft of concrete section to play on

[chopt]

Thanks for all your work Carl. Hopefully it'll attract more riders.

[six fiddy]

hopefully ; but if not im sure gonna enjoy the hell out of it

[CajunRider]

Woah... wait... dirt section???

I definitely have to come out and see this thing!!!

Now, instead of slicks... I need to find me a set of flat track tires.... :D

[six fiddy]

those flat track tires dont sound like a bad idea
