Believe it or not, we used a road grader once after the pratice and that was it. The track held up damn good. I really need a water system of some sort and I am gonna work on getting a DO ALL for next summer to grade with. If any of you guys see one used for the right money I would be interested. We are planning a Heads up Race for next summer that I believe we can get 200 plus racers to attend with the help of Mark and Dan. I need people to let me know what they think works for the dates of the race and coflicting races that are going on else where. Seems like there is Never a perfect date but we'll try. Any feed back for a Race date would be helpful while we consider this. Also I would like feed back for 5 heads up classes. Give me some Ideas of what you guys think will fit the masses. This should be a paid out race and I am looking for sponsors if you know of anyone. I will also be selling Vendor space for this race also. Thoughts on a Pinks all out style race. Picking the top 16 closest times for the Run Off Just like the TV show. The 1st couple of years was a huge success in the drags cars they have since FUCKED the show completely up but It did do well in the beginning. This is just a thought but looking to see what people think. Any questions you can e-mail me @ grovefg2@yahoo.com or call me @ 517-204-4944 Thanks Fred

Hey A for effort on the Blaster, Thanks for everyone who came out this weekend, We had a few mishaps with Registration that put a huge delay to our gameplan for the day. All and All from the people I spoke to they had a GREAT time and thats what it was about. I don't want to get into Nascar Tech and take the fun out of it. I met some great people who seemed to really appriceate what I'm trying to do. I had good response about the track itself and I believe it hooked well, I will keep working @ it.It will take alittle time and like I posted earlier we need Support and Patience. I'm not trying to do what everbody else does, as you racers can see it's not really working here in Michigan. I know not everybody liked the classes but I had to start somewhere. I will probally NEVER run any bracket stuff. I love heads up racing and I believe I can come up with a formula that will work. I need to learn alittle more about this quad stuff which I will this winter . I will probally make a couple of SAND only Drags next summer and seperate my other stuff for a different venue. I tried to give some track time to grudge racing latter in he day and I think people enjoy'd that, I know I did and so did my son. Stay tuned to our Web site us27motorsports.com after the 1st of the year and we will have a schedule of events for NEXT year. Once again Thanks to all who came out and supported us Dan Hall- Thanks for doing Freddies engine in 3 days, It ran awsome I never even looked @ a plug all day and I thought it ran Damn good. Alittle more seat time for Freddie and I think he'll do pretty damn good with that bitch. Mark you need to start building us a 3 cyclinder on spray I can see where this is going Dam It.........LOL Just don't forget we have a car to race next summer and some tuff goals to achieve FRED GROVE

Hey Guys, Fred Grove from US 27 Motorsports Heres the deal, I do not have pictures as of yet. We are building this as a SAND DRAG track Just for ATV's and Side X sides. Were bringing in between 400 to 500 yards of sand and mixing with Clay tomorrow or Friday weather depending. My Best friend is Mark Herek which some of you might know. He has been @ this sand drag stuff for along time and him and I are putting this together. I'm no Pro @ this Sand stuff but am confident that it will be fine for a 1st run @ it. We will make adjustment as Necessary as we go down the road to make this a KICK ASS track to have some fun @. This Can turn into a good thing but we need Support and PATIENCE. I have raced for 20 plus years myself and understand alot from the racers view. These Races are designed to be a day of fun for right now. We are doing PINKS ARM DROP style race HEADS UP. I will let you make some pratice laps before the race and will Let you guys do some Grudge Racing after the Event if its not to late> I want you to have fun. I ALSO need you To Remember that we are Ruinning Mud Drags, Mud Bog and a Obstacle course in one day also. We had 800 plus people @ the Event we Had in June and the People and 99% of the racers had a great time they said. We are not perfect but will work hard as we go to make adjustments. If things go Right we will consider doing some SAND ONLY races next summer with some Pay back Money. We have 1000ft total length and will probally run around 250ft but were gonna have to see how the shut down works and see who shows up to race. There will be Food concessions, DJ, Some Demo rides, Factory reps and so on Matt from Speed Punk Images will be there Taking Photos that you can buy from him @ the Track. He does a ton of the Motocrosse Races in Michigan and he does all the Michigan Snowcross races as well . Yamaha is Bring there 53 ft semi with 20 plus demos in it. I think if you give it a shot you will have fun. I,m charging 25.00 per class and 5.00 for any additional classes you want to register in. I am Charging spectators 5.00 and kids 12 and under will be free. I think thats pretty Dang Reasonable for a day of fun. I hope some of you can make it out and if not maybee next year. You can go on youtube and type in Michigan Mud Nationals and you will find a hand full of Videos from the June event. Some of the Drags are from the Pratice . You can also go to us27motorsports.com and click on the Mud nationals link on the home page and it will give you our classes and some more video and pictures. You should see some of these guys in the Rangers and Razors on the obstacle beat the piss out of there stuff that in itself is worth coming to see. LOL I can be reached @ 989-224-8874 or 517-204 - 4944 if you have any questions. Thanks Fred Grove
