Detroit Muscle Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Alright guys I just got the dates for this event. It's going to be the weekend of June 13-14. For those of you who've never heard of this event I'll give you a rundown of how things work. It is hosted by the Muskegon Motorcycle Club at Dan Raymond Park. There is over 200 acres of private land that is open to camping/riding. It is $30 for the whole weekend from Friday to Sunday, $20 for Sat/Sun, or $10 for Sunday. They have I believe 2 mx tracks(varying sizes), a TT track, 2 hillclimb walls, and a 300ft dirt drag strip w/ tree lights that is under flood lights at night. When you arrive you are allowed to camp wherever you like, and basically are left on your own to do what you please. As far as the races/hillclimbs are concerned, anyone can race as long as you are AMA registered(you can do this at the event, $50 for a year I think). Unfortunately quads are not permitted to hillclimb in the events. You can run them in the TT and the drags though. Drags start Saturday night when it gets dark out, many different classes by engine size, etc.. Trophies are given to the winners of each class and after that is done you can race anyone for $1 a run. This is geting to be a long post so I'll sum it up, tons of room, tons of fun, tons of riding, and tons of beer. I'll be heading up Friday morning/afternoon and staying through till Sunday night. This event is also plenty of fun for friends who don't ride as well, I've got plenty that come to just hang out. We've got my 4mil, a 450r, 660r craptor, crf450, and maybe a few other banshee's including a 10mil cub. I'd like to get a strong showing of Banshee's for the quad drag class which has been rather punk in recent trips since most people bring they're bikes for the hillclimb and mx races so they just drag those too. Anyway lets see if we can get some people in on this. It's located in Grant, MI at Dan Raymond Park June 12, 13, 14. Quote
1996dragshee Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Hmm, sounds like a pretty interesting weekend..beer,fun,drag racing.I'm not so sure about the AMA registering for 50 bucks though but could be a good weekend regardless.No cash winnings along with trophies? Keep us posted on the class sizes and all. Quote
Detroit Muscle Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Well if you are already registered then you wouldn't have to do it again, then it's just like $10 to race. I can't remember to be honest if there are cash prizes too. As far as classes go on the dirtbike side they range from the kids on 50's all the way up to open with harley's on 110 and nitrous. In the past they've only had a Quad class with like 0 to 400 or so maybe cc and then an open. They hasn't been many quads racing unfortunately, but we should have 4 or 5 this year just from my party. This is one of the most fun riding trips I've ever taken by far. Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 sounds like a good time, kinda hard to pay 50 bucks for the ama membership to run one weekend though... whats the drag strip like? sand, clay, etc.... Quote

Detroit Muscle Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 The strip is soft dirt/sand. You could run paddles on it for sure, this is what I have done in the past and might do again.. Quote
