Ok, here are a few pictures from the property. This picture is looking across the lake back towards Hwy 11. The land on the right is where RV camping and pit row will be. The land of the left is where tent camping and the obstacle course will be.

This picture is looking down pit row, back towards where I took the other picture. We have more than 2/10ths of a mile of straight and flat land for pit row. That's approximately 1,200 feet! If you remember the last race Jeremy put on at Broad River, that pit row was only 300 feet. Needless to say this has plenty of room for RVs on both sides of pit row and we could handle 1,000 racers with this pit row.

And the third picture is looking from pit row across the lake towards the obstacle course and main spectator area. Kinda looks like a golf course with the rolling hill and nice trees. That side is bigger and will have obstacles and grass track spread out through the trees.

The grass in these pictures is about waist high and will be cut as soon as the weather and work schedules allow. That's all for pictures this week. Hopefully next week we'll have some pictures or video of the trail or the mx track or maybe even a new bridge. We're having 32 power poles delivered today - in the rain ::smirk:: Thank you Michael P and KONG for making that happen. We're on track with Lowe's to have all of the materials for the obstacle course, but we're going to get the trail done before we take delivery of those items.
A message to the pro teams: we increased the number of allowable racers in pro class from 2 to 3. You can still do a two man team if you like. You may even have a better chance with two racers and less pit stops. There will be a pit row bypass. Heck, you could even race the ironman class as a pro and stand a chance of winning the Overall purse and the Ironman purse. But it is an 8 hour race and that would be pretty difficult to do.
The Ironman purse has grown from $150 to at least $250 plus a $99 suspension service from KTM World and a $150 gift certificate from BMW/Husqvarna of Atlanta ($100 more if the ironman winner is on a Husky or BMW). We have rumors of the Ironman purse growing with even more cash donations......stay tuned.

Ok time for a little update ...........
The Ironman purse is growing by the day !!!!!!!
We are now up to $600.00 Cash
$99 value Shock service from KTM World
$150 gift certificate from BMW/Husky of Atlanta
$100 bonus from BMW/Husky of Atlanta if the winner is riding a Husky or BMW
Up to $60 value pair of goggles brand of your choice From Proline KTM
$100 to the 10th place finisher in the Ironman class
More is coming for the Ironman class stay tuned !!!!!
Due to rain, flu-like symptoms and a SETRA race, we weren't able to spend as much time at the property as we would have liked last week. But, we did spend a day getting power poles - they are huge and will be well used. Also spent another day with the chainsaw cutting trail and testing to make sure it flows well. It is coming along nicely.
We've been asked how many places will you trophy? How many trophies we do depends on how many preentries we receive. We've already received many - thank you for getting them in early. If you haven't sent it in please do so. We will be trophying to 3rd place at a minimum and hopefully we'll have the preentires to support trophies to 5th or more place. And the trophies are gonna be nice ::up:: Another reason to send in your preentries is so we'll have an accurate number for the PG graphics you'll be putting on your front number plate. Powersports Graphics will be providing race decals very similar to what they provide for the Nat'l Enduro series. Racers will receive their decal when they pick up their packet at the race.
Today's picture is so the sponsors can see the visibility their banners will be getting from Hwy 11. The obstacle course and spectator area will be among these pines and more not pictured. About a mile of the course will run beside Hwy 11 and all of this area has great visibility from Hwy 11 as well as plenty of room for spectators to gather. Our sponsors banners will be on this fence facing Hwy 11 as well as on our obstacles for the spectators and riders to see.
Speaking of sponsors - I'm happy to say we've signed on another top sponsor. Mountain Motorsports of Conyers has joined Proline Motorsports and Lowe's as our premiere sponsors. They are contributing cash to the pro purse as well as $1,000 in merchandise to be given away to the racers via a raffle after the race. This big chunk of goods is in addition to the already substantial donations from all our other sponsors.
