SWEET!!! I'll call David and let him know.
Can anyone do Saturday also? Its only a half day so you wouldn't have to get up quite so early. The UTV's are actually pretty cool!
Anyone have a 2M radio we can use? We will have one but could use another if available.
For those coming on
Saturday - Try and be there by 10:30. This will give us time to pre-run the track, and get a lay of the land (access roads and such). We will get to take pre-run a lap or two (25MPH of course), and will be shown the access roads and back routes to use during the race if we have to pull someone in.
For those coming on
Sunday The earlier the better. Drivers meeting is at 7, and the race starts at 8. We should be taking up positions by 7:30 I'd think.
Where to be: Here is the address. This race is at Eddieville NOT starvation Ridge. It's still in Goldendale - just 6 miles closer to town.
"Eddieville is located 1 mile west of Hwy 97, 6 miles north of the intersection of I-84 and Hwy 97 at Biggs,Or. and 6 miles south of Goldendale,Wa. The Dalles,Or. is less than 30 minutes away by freeway. The track lays on the north slope of the Columbia Hills, 6 miles north of the Columbia River.
110 String Street Rd Centerville, WA 98613-3508"

I've let David know that we should have Sunday covered for him, and he is very appreciative. This will allow him to focus on the race. If anyone can make it on Saturday that would be great.
This track looks and sounds pretty cool. I'd even venture to say better than the other track as this sounds like it is a bit wider (avg width of 30') so there should be more room for passing.
