CJ is pretty cool, the track has just been rebuilt and the shop in front is owned by a family of BMXers.
The 30+ class is pretty deep, but all the guys are real cool and always down to see new faces. Stop by and hit em up, they’ll help ya out.
And I’m sure they’ll be offering opinions here soon enough.

No clips here tried em didn’t like em felt like a lawn dart waitin to happen…..

[bmiddaugh]

Be warned though…we always expect the older guys to step up and do more than “just race”…. —

How is the turn out for the 30+ classes?I noticed most are expert so I guess they just combine the classes 30-34 ex-nov 35+ex nov?

[mikesobusiak]

Nitro just be careful they don’t try and lure you into the woods with candy 😮

[bmiddaugh]

It’s actually 30-34 and with all you guys popping in you’ll probably get a class, then it’s 35 over.
30-34 is mostly experts, so expect to race em if you are in the 30-34 range.
35+ goes from Ant-Dog to Rich Farside, so it’s a pretty motley lot, lol.
Expect 4-10 guys in the class depending on how people are feeling that weekend, lol.
