Here is the deal. In Buchanan, MI there is a track called RedBud. They hold annual pro motocross and atv nationals here and just added the TORC series. The weekend normally starts on a Wed/Thursday coming in and setting up the rig and getting bikes/etc. ready for the weekend. They normally do a amateur day on the "pro course" or the layout that the pros do which adds another 20 sec on to the course.

The idea!! Why couldn't they run an amateur day or a day to run Raptors on the TORC track the day before or after the pro race. Not actually racing but just to get out and have some fun. I am going to be trying to contact the owner of the track and some people in the racing series to see if this could be done.

Just wanted to see how many would be will to go or participate in an event like this. I know the facility has everything needed and they can do something like this just preparation and more information is needed.

This is just a poll to see if people would be interested so I could give them some numbers so they can see if it would be even worth it.

Thanks for any input you all have!!

That sounds like a cool idea, but I have to be pretty selective on my events this year. July through October might be out
