..................real soon. Billy Allen finished the complete rebuild of the track today and the layout is sick. The teen crowd is gonna have a fun time jumping on this track. We have some finishing work to do on the turns and the last two straights. This week our new gate and concrete pad will be installed and the starting hill gets a fresh new coat of asphalt.

Wanna say Kudos to the ABA and to Billy Allen for their commitment to this project. They had alot of time invested due to rain delays and such but the job got done and we couldn't be happier with the work that was done or the design that Billy came up with.

Keep checking the website and facebook page for the latest updates and if you like to rake and can do some finish work then come on out and help.

Supercamp is coming to town this weekend then...

Top Gun Camp....

State Race....

...National comes to town in September, you won't wanna miss it

Stopped by and looked at the track this morning. That looks outstanding! We're not talking just changing a couple obstacles here, we're talking a completely new design and layout. Definitely national-caliber. Thanks to everyone involved for taking such a big leap. I can't wait to ride it!

Scott, I think its awesome how you have taken such interest in our track these days. Sorry we had to cancel our big weekend this past one but the build was just not done as I know you would have been down otherwise, like alot of others. Its good to see unity taking place now that the nbl has gone out of business and we can really all race under the same flag.

Keep up the good vibe, it spreads like wildfire. On another note, did you check out the pics on my facebook page?

To update all of you on the progress at Imagination Glen.... first let me say... the wait should be worth it! We have had numerous challenges (to say the least) in outside tradesmen completing the starting gate pad and repaving of the starting hill... between the weather and construction glitches...we won't be open until after the Midwest Nationals. Racing on Thursday will be at the indoor... one more time... and hopefully by Tuesday, we can have our first official practice on the new track. Kudos to all the great people who have been working non stop to get all the work done! Even with the 4 day summer camp this past weekend...the work continued! Great people doing great things for a great sport! Love it!

Awesome, Jackie...thanks for the update! You and your team obviously "get" the fact that the first day of riders on the track is a one-time thing...while the track, itself, is going to be there for a long time.

I say, take all the time y'all need, and give us an awesome track--however long it takes!

Best,

M

Just saw it today. Jumps are big, the track is long. They are still working on the starting hill and other parts of the track. I walked on the track, and impressed!

The weather finally cooperated enough to get our first outdoor race of the season in Saturday night. If you think the track looks good, you really have to ride it. It flows well, everything's big with plenty of backside, just overall an extremely fun national-caliber track. Thanks again to all involved for a great design and all the hard work.
