Recent vid of the track. I'm hoping to make it out this year.
YouTube - Southwick Private Practice
Why do I see:
A) over shooting many turns with the rear locked as I refuse to touche the front brake in fear for my life
B) soiling my shorts repeatedly after overshooting a drop off I forgot was coming up
C) lots of 'face time' in that nice sand after tucking my front, repeatedly
D) a right leg 3 times the size of my left after many, many stalls and follow up kick starts
I do believe I'm going to die.
Actually the track seems to be very similar to Hemonds MX, everything flows nicely, no 'BIG' jumps/doubles/etc, no rhythm sections, but a CRAP TON more sand. I can't imagine what the track will look like after PRACTICE let alone a couple races, I'm going to need outriggers to keep from falling into trenches.
Don't worry about overshooting corners. Let off the throttle and you'll stop pretty quickly. And don't worry, that sand is nice and soft. Easy landings, hard to pick the bike after.

Think I may actually be able to make it up to watch anyways. Gate fee for spectating?

yeah, think my friend Mike had to pay $20 at the gate when he came to spectate.
reminds me, if you're riding, keep cash on you when you arrive at the gate. i always forget there is a fee for us too (yeah, i know, kinda beat) there is a BoA ATM up the street across from the gas station if you forget.
i'm down to split a room like last year if it works. Squirrel, 6_Finger and i stayed pretty close to the track but i have no clue where we stayed.

Beta 200RR
Ok, Getting excited even though I know I will probably spend more time eating sand than riding the bike, lol.
I will be camping Friday and Saturday night. The wife will be coming to the track when she gets out of work on Saturday.
