Same here. I went in 05 and 03 as a spectator, and REALLY wanted to go this year, but my ride couldn't get off work.

So I am racing at Mammoth East in Paoli. It's pretty much a grass track race that is put on by Podium 1. If anyone else is goin, speak up.

I only went for the quads on Saturday, and i think this was the 4th year in a row that I have been. It was a blast though! Awesome weather, awesome racing, and the creek crossing was insane. Definitely worth it!

Sounds like you guys had fun. Sorry, I didnt explain the Paoli track more, but this is the first time ive been on the Net since then.

The track was sweet, just got REALLY whooped out. Like BAD. And it was almost 2 miles long(1.8 i think). With lots of elevation changes. i'll try to post some pics, they are pretty big.

I cartwheeled the sum***** in practice, still limpin on that one!
:( I got a decent start in the first moto. I was runnin the Intermediate class, but they ran us with the A class. Then I wrecked goin up the first hill. And after that, one of my front tires fell off the bead. I got 7th out of 9 that moto.

In the second moto, I got another decent start, but the track just took it out of me. I prolly got last in my class, and only a few D class were on the track when I pulled off.

Anyone that likes motocross, and doesnt mind a European (no jumps) type track, and has some *****in suspension of their quad, would prolly love it.
