Jason and I are by no means against expanding the OMA. We had a couple interested, but it never really went anywhere, casual conversations, like I said. My concern with any new track is whether or not they can grow into a premium track. I think we currently have facilities that can meet that goal. We have 5 really nice places to race and ride, all have their strengths and weakness. All can improve, we know this. My question would be why focus on a new facility that is possibly further from that goal than our current tracks? I don't see any other track out there right now that is a hands down, no brainer addition to the OMA. I would really like to add a Dayton area, SW track. I don't see it right now.
BC isn't moving, I'm not opening another track.......EVER. One and done for me. When I'm old and gray I might buy one that's setup and ready and meets my specs, but I will never build one from scratch or renovate one, never again.

I would not say that AMS is gone. There is a chance that there will be a few races at their home track in the future. I won't go out on ta limb and say its next year but it is a possibility. Oh and I put in a big recommendation for them to contact the OMA if they decide to hold some races.

when your setting through a one hour and 30 minuet intermission.
Chris, I don't know where you were this weekend but what in the world could take an hour and a half for intermission????? At Malvern 16 minutes after the tractors pull onto the track the gates start dropping again.

I think for a first race by Tommy it went well and they will improve. Food, prep, layout will get better. They do need to shorten the track and add some good rhythm sections.some how they need to get more water on the track. When you can pick up dirt and it crumbles before practice well its to dry. You can't make clay pots with dry clay and you can form good lines and berms with dry dirt. I loves seeing all the old faces. Had an awesome time all weekend. I will be at the next race for sure.

My 08' fire with all 8 tall trees dropped by hurricane Ivan, quite a few of which me and hause watched drop within 100' of us while standing on center tunnel (no turkey monster involved), might be one fore the record books. I wish I had video. Trent56mx is the only one two witness both fires, between Dave and I. I will tell you this, I will bring track hoe next time to build mine, if we are talking bragging rights over Dougfest.
Benic lowlands needs a lot moolaka, lots of iron, time and top soil.

Actually when we get home we open up the walk in safe and count $2k stacks till we pass out and our wives find us drooling in a giant pile of greenbacks in the morning. Promotors are a degenerative group, don't be a Promotor it's a dark empty life.

I'm still renting a trackhoe, I know I can build one bigger. Dave will see it at Dougfest next year.....

Not sure this will help but we have joined the SW series for 2 races in 2015. There's still a LOT of things that need to be done on our part before next year.

I tried. Emailed the owner, asked for a price. He told me he would come up with a price and then never got back in touch with me. So I drove over and looked at the place. Nice terrain but the SERIOUS lack of anything resembling SOIL, may be a slight problem. As it was posted on here before, I think its ok to just let that one die.

I think the last time it was "open" (to the public) was maybe 2006 or 7? I heard people were still riding on it though. I also saw on Outlaw's FB that they were going to open back up again this year but don't think it ever happened.

It was a disaster when I visited at the end of 2012. Tons of erosion, lots of rocks. It would take a massive earthmoving effort to get it rideable. My guess would be a month of earth moving, maybe not all major, but a substantial amount. Driveway is bad too. Even if you owned all the equipment, you would probably have 20-25k in fixing it just from that standpoint. Shes gone.
