Grindstone is a mx track at Hamilton MO They have a race once a month. They have a quad weekend, a practice weekend, bike weekend, practice weekend again. It alternates like that.
They have a pretty cool track with some pretty big doubles a big tabletop finish. (I think its something like 40ft to double and 90ft to triple it)They also have trails everywhere. open sat. and sun.
Go to www.showmeatvracing.com go to links and there is a website for it.

[markeg192]

Do you have the headbolt? I still have some helicoil from when I done mine. I wanna ride it Sunday!

[kickin440]

Thats probably what I'll do getting it bored in time is going to be the hard part I'll have to so if Donnie will put a rush on it for me.

Yeah Donnie will hook you up. Well I'm going to bed and so should you so you can work on that motor in the morning. L8r Kevin

[toby400ex]

Ill have to ask the pa and and brother about fingerlakes. Every other time i go it sucks, But every other time is good so far.

[Rocketman250r]

I live in Columbia

Ride up at Finger Lakes some, just cause it's close.
I prefer St Joe state park.

Cinigen where in Fulton do you ride? Is it private land?

[cinigen9]

Fulton - lake potawatame (sp??). It is on the east side of fulton, I believe on 10th street, about 3 miles outside of the city. It is only about 350 acres, but is a good change of pace and worth the drive from columbia. quad friendly mx track, small oval track, trails and campgrounds.

[cinigen9]

Potawatomi Campground
245 Bartley Lane
Fulton,Mo. 65251
573-642-5900
Callaway County
230 acers,6 lakes,atv&dirt bike tracks,
hiking,bring horses to ride

from http://www.usacampsites.com/Missouri/more4.shtml

[p@iNn3ck]

We've been to Potawatomi a year or so ago, but only had the ArcticCat 300 then. Did they every get the new track built?? And can you ride on it or is it just for races?

http://www.missourimotocross.com

[cinigen9]

dont know much about the new track.. had heard they ran into $ problems. try emailing the owner (from the site you posted).

[markeg192]

Anyone else up for Finger Lakes Sunday?

[Rocketman250r]

Cinigen, thanks for the info. Going to have to check it out.

Finger Lakes Sunday, probably not. Was just up there last night, and to many things going on this weekend.

Good to know there are some fellow Missourians on here.

[cinigen9]

rocketman:

we were up there last night as well. I have been doing some tuning on a 416ex I picked up a few weeks ago, and got it running by about 8:30 so we headed out. road till almost 11pm!

what do you ride?

Mark: what time on sunday?

[p@iNn3ck]

Anyone goin to Wash Co Fair race Sat night?

http://www.washmofair.com

[danney f]

Not in MO, but i'm right next door.

How you do neighbor?

[Rocketman250r]

Cinigen, I was out of there by 8:00

I've got a red 86 250r

[QuAdRaCeR244]

I live in Nebraska but i'm in Blue Springs(Kansas City area) almost every weekend

[markeg192]

It's a 2 1/2 hour drive for me and Kevin so We'll be there most of the day. We're hardcore riders( well Kevin is).

[cinigen9]

bring good goggles.. we are real dry here.. small chance of rain on sunday, but I would plan on dust.

I will try to catch up with you guys on sunday afternoon. Mine has 416ex side stickers and a prm from bumper - I will be in a dark blue jeep grand cherokee.

[kickin440]

It's only cause I'm chasin those girls !!:D Well Mark It looks like i'm gonna be on the banshee insted of the scrambler. So maybe I'll be a little better off anyway. Why don't we plan on being there at 8:00 so we can get there by noon. sound like a plan?:D
I think we are going to plan on getting there pretty early though probably around 8 or 9 at the mx track.

[kickin440]

I will be in a red crew cab GMC. we will have a gray 400ex and a yellow and red banshee. And Mark will be on a yellow 400ex and driving his white extended cab GMC. We usually make several trips back to the trucks for repairs so we'll probably see you some time!!

[toby400ex]

I guess ill just c you guys there about noon. Ill try to park by the track.:cool:

[TIGER72]

i am from perryville, mo...we ride at st joe alot, and some private ground around here. we all need to plan a trip to st joe sometime or finger lakes, or wherever...

[Punk'd]

i live in st louis missouri st joes awsome!!!!!!!!!!

[cinigen9]

Nice meeting you guys at finger lakes today. Shoot me an email the next time you guys are heading this way.

Carson

[markeg192]

Hey Carson,Nice meeting you also. It sounds like we all are going to race at Spokane this weekend so you should come on down.

[toby400ex]

Hopefully ill be there

[ChuckMoe]

Springfield here. I've been to deepwater twice and Chadwick is only 20 minutes away.

[markeg192]

Hey Chuck some of us will be racing in Spokane this Sunday. Have you raced any of the HGP Series?

[cinigen9]

Mark - I am going to try and make it down - looks about 50/50 now. Do you know what time the atv's start? It gives a 11am start time, but doesnt say for which - bike or atv.

What are the conditions like at this race? Rocky, fast, rough, all of the above!!??

Carson

[toby400ex]

I guess you could call this a fast track. Last year i only remember the small creek we went through to rocky. I think my vision was impared cuz of the frozen over goggles then sleet in my eyes after i took em off.:blah:

[markeg192]

Carson the HGPs are usually tight and rough. Spud likes to keep it slow I think cause you use 2nd alot. ATVs start at 11 so get there early or just come down Saturday and sleep there like the rest of us. We sure would enjoy the company.

[kickin440]

Yea it will give us someone other than Mark to listen to for once..:D Sorry Mark I could not help it.:devil:

[cinigen9]

are most of you guys running stock gearing, or do you go a tooth down?

[jgbailey57]

Buckner here. I ride Finger Lakes and Deepwater mostly.

[kickin440]

I run 15\39 and cody runs 15\38 and if not mistaken Mark runs
16\39 Glenn runs 15\38 also. I saw a guy run a 16\36 once. Seems pretty high to me though.

[markeg192]

I'm running 16/39 right now but was thinkink of going back to stock. !6/39 will run somewhere over 75mph.

[86atc250r]

Carson, if you decide to come down, have Mark point me out... I won't be racing (my quad's still setup for flat track), but I will likely be there taking pics & stuff...

[markeg192]

Hey Gabe you guy got any racing Saturday night?

[86atc250r]

Sorry, bad timing - next Saturday in Clever - only about 15-20 minutes from where Sunday's race is being held.

[markeg192]

What kind of racing?.......Didn't I see you post on atv connection that a 250x (Alms I assume) ran a 5.6 down there?

[86atc250r]

Yep,

We drag race and flat track every other Saturday during the summer.

Something came together on the old 250X a few weeks ago and he beat my 400. It all the sudden that weekend it began running .5 seconds faster than normal. This past weekend it was back to where it should be. Must have been atmospheric conditions.

His time was actually 6.1, but that was with RT figured in. Which means he did a 5.6ET or better. My best is a 5.3 or 5.4 on the 400.

He should be racing the HGP this Sunday on his yellow 400. The 250X has been retired to flattrack, ATV rodeo, and drags.

[markeg192]

What class is Gregg running this year? I got tired of getting spanked by a 250x last year. lol Maybe a wider bike will slow him down a bit.

[86atc250r]

That drag racing thread was funny. It surprized me that a few of those guys were telling me that my quad, the 250X and the YFZ wouldn't turn the numbers they do - funny thing is the one guy that was within driving distance promptly shut up when I invited him to come to the races and see for himself.

I'd say Gragg will be moving into the intermediate class this year. He's gotten faster on the 400. He won the overall at the last AHSCS we attended (I was helping with scoring :)). Mike Carter led most of the race, but had Suzuki trouble (what's new). Gragg was chasing a Raptor and Mike and eventually passed them both.

The HGP may be a different story though - courses are tighter....

I just need to make sure I stay in front of him this year. So far so good, but I need to get back into shape after our long break this summer.

[markeg192]

Who bought the YFZ? Let me guess .........Shane? There's a couple around here and they're pretty nice but I think my 440 is all I need. Hey maybe sometime when you guys are draggin on the 1/8th we'll all come down. We do some of it up here and I really enjoy it

[86atc250r]

:)

I think Shane is going to buy a TRX450R - I think he's finally fed up with his Raptor and last time I talked to him he said something like "I'm not buying another d@mn yamaha".

I don't know if you know Jason Young or not, but he bought the YFZ. Die hard Yamaha guy...

[markeg192]

I like Shane. Glad to hear he's seen the light.I guess I'll see ya Sunday and hope you end up racing. If not we'll talk about it anyway.
