Milan, Michigan

[Don]

Any updates on the status of the track at twisted MX?

[LittleG]

Not yet I was told if they can race there this weekend then there will be a race next weekend if they can't race this weekend then the race will be cancelled or postponed as soon as I find out I will post.

[LittleG]

Ok just got the word Milan race is cancelled track is flooded and expecting more rain.

[Don]

Thanks, Dave. Any idea on whether they'll replace it or did the season just get shortened?

This is turning out to be one of those years isn't it?

Track is flooded. We haven't had any rain in like a week and only possibly calling for some sat night into sunday.

Aren't these amphibious vehicles?

Aren't these amphibious vehicles?

Yeah, but where shall we park to unload?

The NEEDT site states that the heat races at Pine Lake will be scored as replacements for the Milan features.
That's better than not having them at all for sure, but really puts a lot of weight on one weekend. No pressure; right?

Press release:

We should have a final answer and decision on Round 4 in Michigan that was canceled due to weather and track conditions caused by weather earlier this year.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Stay tuned for an official announcement latter this week.

Press Release: Read all and don't miss the last part and news. We saved the best for last.

Bad News:
The Series has made a final decision on June's Michigan's EDT Round 4. This round will not be made up. We have been working for a while in trying to get through allot of the logistics that is required to hold an event with some facilities and venues, but unfortunately with already booked events at most facilities that are booked over the winter for this year and other events booked on certain dates already we could not find an ideal date that was best for everyone involved and also fair. We had looked into scoring Heats at Pine Lake as an option also but with a heavy rain forecast going into Pine Lake and weather going into it we simply did not want heats to be scored twice. We have been left with no other solution then to score 6 rounds for the 2017 Final NEEDT Year End Points Championship. Mother Nature finally won Round 4.

Busco Beach is up next on August 19th and then Hamlin on September 16th will be the Final EDT Rounds to end the 2017 season. Also the final 2 rounds at both these tracks you also don't want to miss the Hoosier NEEDT Friday Night Short Track Nationals for 2 exciting weekends to end the season Race Short Track on Friday Night then race the EDT Nationals on Saturday.

Now for some VERY Good News and excitement for 2018:

There is the historic 49th Anniversary TT Event in July of 2018 that we know NEEDT will be back there but latter that year NE Extreme Dirt Track Series will be heading back for their 2nd EDT National in 2018 in late summer or early fall ! In 2018 it will be the first year that the NE Extreme Dirt Track Series will be heading to Pine Lake Raceway not once but twice during the season. 2 different weekends of racing. Hopefully this will be the first of many years to come with giving rider the opportunity to race not once by twice at this incredible facility.

More details to come after this season has concluded...
Dates for the 2018 season won't be posted till when the schedule is posted normally around the time of the banquet in November.
