Practice this weekend!!

Hello everyone! We will once again be having an open practice this weekend. The weather looks good (in the 50's) and we have the track all prepped for a final practice date! This will almost certainly be our last practice date for 2009! So c'mon, take advantage of some great fall riding!

Practice this weekend....October 10th and 11th!

Hello everyone. Pine Ridge will be holding practice this weekend. We had to cancel last weekend due to rain, but the track is back in shape. This will be one of the final...maybe even the last practice of the year. So make sure to get in some nice fall riding while you can! See you at the track.

Chili Cookoff this weekend!

Pine Ridge will be hosting a Chili cookoff at this saturday's race - bring a batch of your secret recipe and win a prize! There will be prizes for the top 3 entries. After the judging, they'll all be combined "chili dump" style and sold for $2/bowl with all the money going to an injured rider that could use some help.

Hello everyone! The next race is this weekend, September 6th! Lots of things have happened since the last race. More spectating opportunities, the tunnel jumps are now open, and the sprinkler system is in! We are equally excited for the next year, as alot of new additions for '10 are in store. Lots of holeshot awards to give away and a nice purse for "A" class as well. See you up there!!

Practice August 22nd and 23rd......

Hello everyone. There will be open practice again this weekend. This will be your last chance to turn some laps before the September 6th race!! So make sure to get up to the track and turn some laps!
As you may or may not know, there has been quite a few projects that just wrapped up. The watering system is IN....and if you haven't seen it in action, works really well. We have to thank Forest County Potawatomi and VanDeYacht Lawn Sprinklers for making this all happen, so THANKYOU!!! We also have the tunnel jumps fully open. This has been in the works for a while, but now they are in full operation. There is also more spectating opportunities with new aluminum bleachers.

We hope you take advantage of this weekend. See you up there!

Practice this weekend..July 18th and 19th!

Hello everyone! There will be another open practice this weekend. Last weekend we had an awsome turnout! I was asked about the watering system last weekend and if you were at the track, you no doubt saw the all the blue piping sticking out of the ground all over the place. That was all the watering lines and we were in the process of getting the heads installed as well! The system will be 100% shortly. A big THANKYOU goes out to Forest County Potawatomi as well as VanDeYacht Lawn Sprinklers for making this all possible!!! We will be looking forward to getting this up and running as soon as this weekend, barring any major weather or setbacks!

The other thing I wanted to touch base on is the Quad/Bike practices. I will be splitting up the quads from now on, regardless if there are two or twenty!! We had a quad rider last week that made some questionable contact with a couple of our Junior bike riders. This is a safety issue, and to hit it on the head, we will be separating bike and quads from now on! The practices will be in 1/2 hour increments. The bikes will kick it off at 10am sharp, then quads at 10:30....and so on. This will be the easiest way to make sure everyone gets equal track time.

Last of all. I was certain we were clear on the fact that unless you are 16 years of age or older, you are NOT ALLOWED TO RACE OR PRACTICE ON A QUAD at our facility! This has been an issue the last couple practices and we want to make sure that if you were not sure if we allow this, now you know. We do know that a couple facilities do offer this, but I recommend checking with your track of choice to make sure. See you at the track!

Watering System!!!

Hello everyone! This Friday the work will begin on the automatic sprinkler system. We will be laying it out it on Friday July 3rd, and the work will begin the following Monday. The schedule was pushed back due to our contractor being busy, but it will be a welcome addition soon! We are taking off the 4th of July for track activities, but we'll be back at it July 11th and 12th with another open practice date.
For all you that have been making it up for our practice dates....THANK YOU!! We are continuously striving to make your experience at Pine Ridge a great one! We appreciate all the riders who have taken advantage of this new practice schedule.
We are also setting up new aluminum bleachers and opening up the tunnel jumps before the next race in August! This should really increase spectating opportunities. Stay tuned for more track info and updates!
Have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday weekend!
