Wardy's would be awesome, if we could talk him into building a bigger MX track. ;) I believe Wardy's has 12 miles of trails, plus a killer peewee track and a SX-style track.
Yep, Buffalo is still alive and kicking for extra woods riding. They have 3 MX tracks now from what I understand, the big one (which they actually groomed and held a few races this year), the peewee track, and a new sand MX track. Plus 400 acres of trails, creeks, hills, etc. No quads there either.
Like Zoomer said, Sunset Ridge MX is a half hour drive, but it would be nice to have it all in one place. :think:
Casey is a one stop shop, MX track, peewee track, GP track, tons of trails.... but I guess DRN has been there, done that.
I was thinking Dutch Sports Park in south-western MI www.dutchsportparkmx.com might be a cool option. It's not that far north, about in line with Chicago, just on the other side of the lake. The facilities blow away almost any track in the US.... RV dump station, flush bathrooms, enclosed showers, outdoor showers, cement bike wash, air and water station, covered starting line with fans, volleyball and horseshoes (lighted for nighttime playing), community campfire, huge kids playground with the cartoon network on TVs, playground monitor, inhouse concession building, hayrides, etc.
And for the riding, they have an awesome MX track which is safe and fun for riders of all skill, a peewee track (Smurf City), and they hold a "National Hare Scramble" so I'm sure there are some trees for the woods folks (unless the woods are leased for the event only, not sure). Plus they hold an ATV jamboree with trail rides, poker rides, drag racing, mud pits, barrel racing, etc. Motels in nearby Paw Paw and a few other towns.

Michigan is NOT too far north!
Southwestern MI (St. Joe) is one of the greenest, prettiest areas I've ever seen in the spring.

I have travelled twice to Michigan for riding trips and it is MUCH closer than OK.
Northern Florida up the East Coast is closer to Michigan than Ok. The midwest people would have to drive, some as far, some shorter.
The west coast contingent is the hardest hit with a Michigan trip.

Me thinks Michigan would be cool. I bet you would see a pretty good turnout from people who couldn't swing OK. It doesn't matter to me though, I'm going to the next DW, I don't care where it is. :nod:
JMHO but no matter where or when you have it will be great for some and not for others. Early summer/late spring conflicts with racing schedules, weddings, graduation parties.
Summer is busy. Falls works for some and not for others. What about March or Early April? Seems by then a person could take kids out of school being that it's almost over, but I don't know.
I doubt that you could get the attendance for 2 events given the current economy which really effected this last one I'm sure.
Tough call there Okie, whats going on in the State of MO, it's centrally located?
Good luck with your decision.

count me in for Dutch Sports Park.
Would Wardy's have enough room for everyone camping? The camping area was almost full with this year's group, but then I noticed there was another area as well.
Geographically, seems like Missouri would be great, but I don't know any details on the parks there. It's going to be tough to beat Cooperland regarding the tracks and camping facilities. A larger or more hilly woods area and electrical hookups would be nice though.

An Early June Dirtweek some where in Michigan would be awesome. And DSP in June would be even more awesome!!! I would say that you would get to meet the North East part of DRN that don't/can't drive to Oklahoma...
Just my .02 cents

Like Fred T said, no matter where or when you have it will be great for some and not for others. I would thing the first or second week of June would open up more possibilities with those who have kids since most schools are out by then. I would like to see Dirtweek in the spring as the last few years it had been the week of the Branson National. I attended Dirtweek two years ago, but was not able to go last year due to work. This year I made the decision to race the Branson National, but damn the luck I broke three ribs 7 weeks ago so I wasn't able to attend either the race or Dirtweek.
Some of the Missouri continent needs to chime in on locations that have the facilities, with a MX track(s) and woods loops.
I've never been to this track, but it has a mx and pee wee track and is located in SE MO. http://www.thayermx.com/indexflash.html .
Another location in NE Arkansas that may be an option is http://www.thackermotox.com/index2.html . Again, I've never been to this location.
As for Dirtweek in the fall, can you back it up to the last week of Sept? :)
