Sorry to hear this. Indoor tracks seem to be a tough way to go for some reason. Maybe the Ohio riders just like a break from riding in the winters? I kinda do. It gives me some time to attend to other things I guess. Not only that, but I hate loading the truck up in the snow. --L*64

I am very sorry to hear that. I have tried to come out for 3 weeks now but something always came up. Seeing any track close is sad, its worse when its near columbus, we don't have crap compared to the NE.

Even though it sucks... that's the way small business works. If there's not enough money to pay the rent then... well you know! Thanks for trying and we had fun while it lasted!

Plus we have too many indoors in the area. It just spreads people too thin to make a profit. It's not a glorious cash crop money pit like every rider who doesn't operate/own/work a indoor thinks that it is.

This is true to a degree. Down here in BC land we have Cirle T which is 1 hour 25 minutes, and OMA which is 1 hour 45min, if not 2 hours. Spiltrail closed, Big horn closed. Now its those or drive 3.5 to Earlywines, 2 hours to ramjam, or 3 hours to NEMX. I know I know people drive further than that for the Cliff, but thats outdoors, apples to apples here. So I dont feel overly populated with indoors, I do wish we had a centrally located indoor with a couple massive tracks though.......
And It is a bummer about big horn, sorry to hear Mark.

I'm confused.
So Mark May...I take it bighorn is not your building...someone else owns the building? And now they're going to run the building by themselves? Just clarifying because I read two of your other threads and I read something about 'being money hungry and let him do it on his own....' not the exact quote but thats the idea I got from it....

Big horn is a leased building. In the beginning last year, the building just sat empty during the winter. Jay approached the owner with the idea to make some money by putting a track in it. Apparently, the owner thinks its worth more, or he can run it lol.

He owns J&D bullriding arena in Martinsburg, which i know is an outdoor bullriding deal, or was. But you may be right, I dont think he rides at all, but I could be wrong.

What's going on with that big indoor that was supposed to be opening in Butler, PA? --L*64

maybe its because there are too many "pro practicers" here, and all the indoor tracks are set up for novice level.
