[QUOTE="nikki, post: 566165, member: 18126"] Wow I didn't know Tom was closing up for good this year! He said at the LTM banquet a few months ago that he was gonna be open for practice all year and maybe run a few outlaw races. I guess he might be selling the land for new homes? Too bad... with a little TLC that track coulda been something. Don't waste your time comparing Walnut to many IL tracks. Hard packed is the name of the game around here... of course tracks like Mendota, Joliet, and Casey are groomed really well on race days, but they are all still pretty hard packed after a few bikes run over them. Even sandy Walnut gets rock hard in spots. US 51 is a great beginner track, though - I figured your son would have fun there. That triple triple section always made me feel like a pro (despite the fact that a few 50's have done em) :confused: If US 51 ran up and down the hill more and had a few nice berms... it could be really cool. But I think the track owner was always after the easiest way to maintain/groom the track (ie. all the flat turns). Oh well... another one closes up :| Since you're in the spirit of checking out the IL tracks - make sure to take a trip out to Coal Valley sometime... for some reason I LOVE that track... close draw between there and Walnut... but they are two completely different types of tracks. Coal Valley changes the track a lot, has lots of terrain changes, and lots of easy to medium jumps. Erick - no I don't know about Pekin but heard a few weeks ago that its pretty cool from some people talking at a race. Let us know if you find out more. [/QUOTE]
