    The question is class C motor home pulling a enclosed box trailer or pickup towing a toy hauler camper/bike hauler in one unit....?

    I’ve got no experience with a toy hauler , but after looking on line even the good ones look cheaply built . And I’m not sure I want to live in one the better part of a year.......

    Do all three. Drive a truck for awhile.....earn some spending money......ride
    bikes for awhile.....hit some of the special events......when you get tired just stay
    home for awhile.

    As for a motor home.....you can stay in a lot of motels for what they cost.....figure
    in the cost of campground rentals, water disposal fees, etc.......I would be pretty slow
    to go that route.


    Maybe build a nice shop at the farm......where you and your friends can tinker on the
    bikes.....go riding for an hour or two....tinker some more.....sounds like heaven to me.
    Might be able to bribe the friends to mow the yard.....do the weed eating in exchange
    for time in the shop.....you can prop your feet up and watch the world go by.

    I’m not as well versed in outdoors as id like to be, is Unadilla the track with what they call the “gravity cavity”? Or am I thinking on some where else?

    Here is the exit of gravity cavity on a muddy day I was there and actually saw this move. Barcia is giving Webb his teammate at the time the finger for holding him up as barcia was lapping him.

    I think this is Hakan Carlqvist in 1979 ... I was there then too...he ended up world champion in the 250 class that year

    The pictures don’t do the place justice. The hills and jumps are massive

    Haha! Good ole Bam Bam. Those are great pics and a good video, thanks for sharing. You’re right pictures and tv don’t do it justice. My cousins best friend used to work for Dirt Wurx and I got to walk the track in St. Louis years ago. It amazed me the whoops are like thigh high. I couldn’t imagine leaning back and holding it pinned coming up to that. I couldn’t hardly walk up the face of the triple. And after the race those ruts those guys rail around corners, are dang near knee deep. You could see arena concrete at the bottom of some of them.

    @Cat sdp just a heads up, if your travels bring you in to Florida don’t expect to ride WW, it’s strictly a training facility anymore. Pax is close and fun but ruts up quickly on busy Saturdays, Spyder mx in wildwood is a fun layout, super hard pack though, if you catch it on a groomed Saturday it’s really good up until noon or so. Last but not least, tampa mx is really good too, saw this evening where it’s under new ownership though so I’ll be interested to see if it upholds the quality it did when the freeburgs owned it.

    You ever been to windham’s place in Alabama?

    I’d also try to set up FL with Daytona and ride the amateur SX ......

    No, never been out that way. From what I hear there’s no supercross futures because of Covid this year, not sure if it will put a halt to the RCSX after Daytona, I guess time will tell.
