Anyone been to SG lately?

Anyone been to Shady Grove the last couple days? Just curious if the the track is actually preped since their first "race" is only 5 days away...

I was just there a week ago and its pretty much, no wait a minute, its exactly the same. I'm undecided as to whether or not I'll be out there to witness the first big race.

Inquiring minds gotta know....

I'm going to run over there at lunch and check to see the new and improved Shady. I'll let you know all about the massive improvements when I get back.  :silly:

 

[JayPak]

Yeah, please do let us know.

I'm thinking that the track will probably look the same....maybe they got a new "chicken shack"!

 

[TwinSpar]

What can I say.... I was astounded...... awestruck.....  

 

It SUCKED!  Not one change that I could see.  It wasn't even worth getting out of the car to scout around.  I don't have a damned clue how Chuck thinks he's going to be able to get anyone to enter a race on that POS track.

If he took a dozer to it now, the track would instantly turn to powered sugar and blow away in the wind.  Going out there was a waste of time and gas..... :|

I am going to be out of town during the race :(

Can some one go out and video the race for me? Well at least the first lap, after that I doubt you will be able to see anything through all the dust ;)

I can envision the gate drop now, everyone starts standing in the back of their truck/or trailer, bike still tied down, in street clothes, the flag waves, clothes are changed in a feverish pace, bikes are unloaded and off to the track, the first turn is the one out of the pits onto the track. That's when you start to notice jerseys on backwards, people with one glove, boots unstrapped, dudes in coaching shorts ;) , bikes dieing b/c the gas was still turned off.

If nothing else they have generated a little interest in their new endeavour.

the racers have to do three donuts in the parking lot before they hit the track

 

[Thump]

and eat a piece of "yard bird" LOL

 

[JayPak]

So did anyone make it out for the first "race" at Shady Grove? Just curious if it actually pulled off...?

 

[DPW]

I think it was rained out.

Maybe the race gods were trying to send them a message.
