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.

I just put that as a placeholder so I can add more information there as needed. Ultimately I will use that to post the photos and videos and copy it over to a new thread. Just ignore that for now.

What to bring to ashtabula?

If I get to go this year....what should I bring besides the obvious? How much does stuff cost, etc etc. Thanks guys.

It's a very inexpensive event. Bring tools, extra parts, extra cash so you can buy something if you see it there at the swap meet, food, some nuts and bolts, camping gear, party supplies (there will be a lot of that there, Bud even supplied us with a keg of it before), and some diapers if you plan on racing or doing some extreme trail riding because it'll get crazy. I have a very good feeling that this year is going to be the biggest turnout at Ashtabula yet.

It's also a good thing to check the weather forcast before you leave. It's USUALLY hot there, but there have been the occaisional monsoons. Diapers,JP????????. Is that why your motor was "acting up" last year?

I'm gonna bring a couple of hot dog buns and head over to Mike and Little G's camp to see if I can snag a free lunch or two

You are bringing way more than Swift ever brings for weekend supplies. I think a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread is his standard ride food supply.

And a gallon jug of water, but you're right Drew, that's pretty much it. I might splurge and buy a few cans of tuna and Chef Boyardee if they're on sale.

[dzg]

Well hell then I'll bring my lil char broil and some hamburger and be king of the park lmao.

[George]

I'm in.

Are they going to have the pole dancers again this year?

Are they going to have the pole dancers again this year?

I think so, but after Amphiman took the stage last year, I think they are considering a change in the general format.
