Buckeye Hills Uphill Start

[663dad]

Uphill start is cut in for this weekend, I would be safe to call this a power robbing hill start. . The track should be epic Scott and myself have been working on fine tuning the layout and jumps. We have the water trucks there and pumps up and running.

Whos in for the race, the last time a AMA race was hear here was in 2006

See everyone this weekend for the race

Is that going straight into the big downhill double ?

Dangit. Uphill on the poor little 1-2-5. I am going to have to do something special in the first turn.
Looking forward to it. Lets hope the rain holds off.

Nope hooks back to the left and goes back down along the back woods section.

I told Matthew the same thing, he's going to struggle against the 250fs for sure.

How big is the hill? I remember scenic highlands having a steep uphill start and being on a 125.

I'm planning to be there.

Seemed like an eternity before you got to the first turn....

Around 100 yards with around uphill 30 degree grade

Down hill double still big ?

I am not 100% sure but I thought I just saw on FB that Buckeye Hills is postponing/cancelling for the weekend due to the impending weather. Someone may want to confirm and report back.

 

[ck1racerx]

Forecast is for 1/4 inch of rain on Saturday and NOTHING on Sunday and the race is already cancelled??? No way...

 

[ck1racerx]

If anything, then delay it one day and run the race on Monday. It will be 83 on Monday and nothing to do...

 

[ck1racerx]

Did not know they renamed that storm from Harvey to Baja.... Yeap, got to cancel
Race Ohio, unless it looks like rain... then race somewhere else... WEAK, very weak. Disappointing

 

[John250]

Did they cancel? I know we are supposed to get a good amount of rain in the Cincinnati area on Friday for sure. Up to 3 inches they said in that area.

 

[John250]

Just looked. Cancelled. Probably a good decision. Supposed to get more rain there than even an hour north. Gives me a free weekend to work on something or ride my Harley Sunday.

My weather app for Hillsboro shows about 1.25" Fri and about .25" on Saturday. With not much rain the past few weeks, I would think it would have been good for Sunday. Of course I can't make the make up date.

 

[ck1racerx]

Highland county fair has racing Saturday night... It will look real bad if they race and Buckeye does not.
Not may property, but I wait until Sunday morning to make this call.
Christmas is postponed until January 12 when the Farmers Almanac says we will get snow.

Santa has Rudolph. Santa doesn't mess around and cancel for a weather forecast.
