Milam creek

[ktmdan]

Does anyone know if they are open today?

[Junk]

I believe Larry has closed the track. Last time I talked to him he said he was 95% sure he was done with it, and now the track # has been disconnected, and his cell is dead. I wouldn't waist the gas.

Doubt its open, we've had a TON of snow and crap up here, all our yards are just muck... It'd be pretty muddy there I'd assume.

damn. That does suck!!! Why does that place always have some many problems? Is it that stupid drag strip owner or what?

Black Gumbo.

That track would succeed if they took out all the jumps and made it a 100% natural beginner track. Beginners like hardpack and the elevation changes would be enough to keep them happy. There are 10 beginners for every advanced rider.

It is because the guys who own the place (same ones that own the wrecking yard) charge people WAY to much to lease the place and no one can make a profit.


Same story, over & over & over & over.

The guy is really money hungry. I used to go to that junkyard all the time for photos... about the 4th or 5th time I went back, he told me "5 bucks to enter the yard."

That was the last time I was there.

Not every track should be as beginner friendly as your lemon party track Cam. I am sure not all track owners are ok with doing something like that either.

That track was kick ass, actually had a few jumps you could screw yourself up on, and some stuff you had to push yourself to do. The simple fact is that track has always failed because of the dirt, and North Texas riders being too spoiled. Its not feasible to fix that dirt, so we are better off letting it die.

To run a track successfully here you have to cater to the spodes, thats just a fact, but I have to hand it to larry for providing a fun place to ride for a while, however short lived.

Agreed. That track was awesome. Finally something that's not boring...props to Larry for giving it a go. I'm going to miss that place.

You don't have a clue. RV will kick your slow ass in one lap and Milam would succeed as a beginner track.

Chill Larry. My thoughts on Milam don't reflect negatively on you at all. I know how hard it is to run a track and I probably appreciate your efforts more than 99% of the people reading this thread. I just think that the only way to keep the gates open on that particular location is to cater to beginners. What's wrong with that?
