When
June 25-26, 2011

These are the official dates but just like last year Bud has graciously offered to open the gates to us even earlier. He said that you can show up any time that week to camp and still only pay for the weekend.

Here is a link to the event on the calendar so that you can get an email reminder if you wish: 6x6 Racing at Pine Lake Raceway, June 25-26 2011

Where
The Pine Lake racetrack in Ashtabula, OH. USA
Here is a link to the track on Google: Pine Lake
The address associated with it is 3706 Maple Road in Kingsville Ohio

Note: If your GPS or online mapping software doesn't recognize that road use this address for directions: 2488 Plymouth Gageville Rd Ashtabula, OH 44004 That will take you right to Maple Road. Turn on Maple Road and the track should be down on the left.

How Much
Just like last year, Bud has been very gracious with his pricing:
$35 per person for the entire weekend including primitive camping.
$15 per person (per day) if you just want to come watch. So if you show up Sunday to watch the races you just pay $15 to get in.
$20 per person to enter a class for racing. Most of this money is going towards trophies / plaques.

Classes
Just like last year, the classes will depend on the number of people that show up and they will be decided once everyone arrives. Some of the previous classes that we have had were:

Juniors
Powder Puff
Four Stroke Stock
Four Stroke Modified
Two Stroke Stock
Two Stroke Modified
Over 50 class

Schedule
Friday - Set up camp and trail ride
Saturday - Test and tune on the track
Sunday - Races

Note: There are no heat races this year. Since the heat races really didn't count for anything, Bud said he would just open the track for testing all day on Saturday and save the official racing for Sunday.

Other Events
Like last year Bud will have plenty of other things to do when you aren't racing:
-Trail riding will be available all weekend and Bud wants to lead a night trail ride one night (probably Saturday).
-Mud bog
-A ramp for easy access to the front pond. He will also have a boat their for safety.

Safety
This year's safety requirements are just like last years. You will need:

-At least a 3 point cage
-Seat belts with shoulder harnesses
-Helmets

Places to Stay
There is primitive camping allowed at the track. Like last year Bud will have toilets available for everyone to use as well.
If you don't want to camp at the track there are several choices of hotels close by in either Ashtabula, Ohio or Kingsville, Ohio. Here are four that are close to the track:
Holiday Inn Express
Hampton Inn
Sleep Inn
Days Inn
