You'd take a good line that you know has worked forever and you'd just float out to the grass... I do have some (very slow) practice lap video that I'll load up to try to convey why it was hard to stay on the track in the corners.
I know there has to be a lot more interest in racing that just the number of folks this event brought out. I'd encourage anybody who's even remotely interested to get out to the late Spring and Fall events on the track when Bud opens it up for us to just have fun and practice. Pine Lake is my "home track" at this point, and I still get 9/10 corners wrong as many times as I've been around it over the past 7 years."Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting."

I agree all terrain. no excuses here had to much horse power and no traction but still had a blast on the track. bring back the mud hole.
that's a learning experience also. maybe we could get those little tiny tires like some of the three wheelers and four wheelers were using.
Looking back Pine Lake held most if not all of the grand national events (point finals) and most preferred place to race.

This past weekend was an absolute blast. It was fun experiencing the racing league with all the other atv's and classes. A special thanks to everyone who works behind the scenes to make this possible! Also thanks to everyone who helped out in the pits and made delicious food. We can't wait for Latrobe in a few weeks, and we're excited for a points system next year. It's good to see all the racers getting more competitive and the number of participants growing.
If the videos are getting too long and you guys would prefer a highlights video of all the best shots let me know. I don't want the videos to be repetitive and boring. Or too long.
