I begin just looking things over and see a bunch of pictures and strike up a conversation. Turns out the old track had core sample done and was not going to fly, so the plan is a new track to run along where the old was, at a bit of an angle to get even more length for shutdown on top of moving the start line back. So now they feel July will be a date to keep our eyes on especially due to the cold and crappy weather. They are also going back to the 42 entrance, no longer on Jeffrey. It is nice to know they are taking this very seriously and will be a new track when they open. Anybody hear anything else?

But I guess if theyve already done core samples they know what there doing. Down here in Canton if you go down 15 ft. your into the water table at my dads house. I am so glad its happening though.
