A good idea tossed around between a few V-bmxers and myself has become something that i think would be a good end of summer before peps shindig and after rockford hoedown. The date will be august 12th IN Ottawa IL Everyone and anyone is free to join us trolphys as a norm hotel and camping is avalible I have to contact local hotels to see about multipule room rates. come from far and wide lets have a good time so far location is near the I&M canal BIKE trail. I am going to try to incorperate Mid-school since there seems to be many more of them popping up out there. There is no charge for this event but donations are excepted my family and others and there family will work hard to make this happen, Would love to see you there

If you want to MAPQUEST the directions the address to look up is
Hudson st & Ontario st
Ottawa,IL 61350

We also have a holiday Inn express here and a super 8 are the recomended hotels in this town. As for camping I am looking for a campground for those who asked, if you want to pitch a tent and hangout I can arrange that in my private back yard I live in the country so feel free.

Hey,
I just might be able to make this one. Could I enter into the retro with my 2005 Kuwi pit?
How about that pit class, I have err one or two I could bring.. maybe 3 or 4, 5,6, ok maybe could load up 7.
Now cruisers oh yeah, freestyle..probably for worst survivor.
ELF_DUDE
Jun 9 2006, 04:49 PM
as of right now there is no pit class i am sorry. It is the peoples vote on all classes. If you have a retro pit build it is elegable for the retro class
