Jeff, thanks again for the effort. You and I have talked at your track (#18 CR 250 2stroke) about the track, etc. Thanks for bringing to Houston a track with some length and speed. I know a year from now the track will be more in line with what you are thinking, etc. I would just recommend as you add to the track and make changes that you bear in mind that for this style track (speed/rough) it needs to be sufficiently wide. Some areas get a little cramped but not too much. I know your intent is to make it difficult by virtue of it being rough, so the more sand you can add into the dirt, the better the chances of that happening. I have only ridden out there twice now but feel it is helping me "attack" through the rough sections which will make any rider better. Especially since I'm 41 yrs. old. I plan on riding your track for extended practice sessions because I get a better workout and is letting me familiarize with the bike beter. It wouldn't hurt to lenghten some tabletops or stepups, etc. and if you do to make sure ample width is on them as well. Otherwise, add the sand and the torture and make it as nasty as you want!! Houston riders don't understand what square edged holes are like (Glen Helen!!) that develop from a smooth sand/intermediate terrain type track. I've had my hands knocked off the bars at Glen Helen due to that and your track has the best potential (in Houston) to have riders get used to something ilke that. A place like Cycle Ranch or Whitney gets plenty rough but they are 3 hours away. We need something local to be able to somewhat get ready for those tracks and hope your track fits the bill. This is now a long winded reply. Thanks again. Keep tillin' in the sand !!

Tom A.
