I think our plan is to ride up there on Sunday next year. Its tough to stay out there sunday when I've got to get back to school on Sunday night

They weren't allowing any pit bikes on the mini track Sunday. I guess the team 2 guys said they didn't want people on pit bikes passing their kids and scaring them or something like that

We rode from 10:00am until about 1:00pm with no questions asked. I did see the "No pit bikes" sign, but they seem to make it pretty clear it was going to be ok on Sunday after the brawl?

huh. What the heck. I heard the lady tell the people in front of us that it was peewees only so I even asked again to double check. And that's what she told me - about team 2.

My brother called awhile back and they said the mini track is usually off limits to pit bikes, but if there are enough riders they'd split it up. I'm thinking we need to get a big group to go up in spring to kick off the new riding year right!

I would definitely be down for that! Maybe talk to pine ridge in advance to give them a heads up if we pick a date. That would be awesome. Just wouldn't want to drive all the way there to get turned away haha

 

[Mike33]

Guys are coming from Ill, you'd think we could find another track closer for them??? Don't want to shoot myself in the foot as Pine Ridge is only 65 miles north of me.

We've got good tracks in Illinois too, but the majority of ours lack the good dirt and uphill/downhill that pine ridge has. Can't say ive ridden a track that tops it there

yeah all the Illinois tracks are better on big bikes but I can't think of one that would be as fun on a pit bike. Sunset ridge has amazing dirt but idk about riding pit bikes there. The track is big and not sure what class you'd go out in or if they would even let you

 

[Petersen112]

I will say, Byron is pretty fun on a pit bike as well but I just love how pine ridge is. It flows super well and you're not stretching to clear anything on a pit bike

Are they going to be holding this event again this year? I raced it a few years back and it was a great time. Always looking for places to race/ride!

According to Pine Ridge's website, they're having it again, October 1st. I went last year, and had gone a few years previous. It was as fun as ever. Weather was great, track was awesome.

Some friends of mine are holding a race August 20th in Western WI if you're looking for another race. Pretty laid back, same as the Brawl. There's a thread on it here on PM:
