I know not many are creeping on this forum, so if you stumble over this post and want to do some offroad racing TORCS will be at cowboy badlands march 3&4.

I will be there!!

--SIGH--

Not sure if I would be ready to race, but I 'could' be there...

Biting my tongue!

Had another surprise this weekend, I should be on track for the weekend of the 25th though...

If the forest is open we need to go to Cravens and put in some miles. And more miles. I'll see if the LA boys can make it.

I am amazed, it would be great to have a good turnout of locals to show support, this will not be that bad of a track with only five miles of woods and 1 of the m/x, the weather will have a impact on the event thou, maybe it will all come together, i would like to see torcs return to our area again ! i am not closed minded as some sticking to there moto-cross only, i love the mix of moto-cross and woods.

My experience is that many if not most mx'rs are afraid to go out into the woods without their mommy holding their hand. Like many trailriders are afraid of an enduro or HS. Especially going out of town overnight. Just too scary to even contemplate.

Traveling anywhere outside your own home can be scarry no-a-days !!! Ok so what about the club here guys did it disolve ??? Coffee you didnt go the the pleasure island revisted in the 90s ? Just wondering. I sent mike lagaza a email a minute ago, he will have some imput.

Did not attend, knew nothing about it. But I was more a woods guy and just did an occasional MX at the pier.

Well, in my experience when I've asked a MXer to go woods riding, their response is something along the lines of 'I don't want to scratch my plastic or get the bike muddy...'! Yes the club is pretty much dissolved, but I think we are keeping this forum open for the floaters that still try to keep in touch. I am in the process of getting back to riding after a 4+ year recess, but I would love to get the club going again some day.

Well let them stay on the track only i say ! I love eat all dirt where-ever, I would like to see the club get back together i might ever go to some meetings. I am still searching for someone that knows something about the pleasure island revisted race, Mike Legaza sent me return mail and had went an raced but knew nothing about who got it all together, I was sent to Lawrence Lucia, but i do not know him, I do know Dave Smith in lumberton, perhaps i will call him today. For sure Phil Bartlett might know something also.

If people do not attend meetings then there is no club. If people do not attend meetings and TAKE THEIR TURN to act as an officer, then there is no club. Some accept responsibility, some shirk responsibility. Take your choice.

I dont even think theres enough dirt intrest around southeast texas to make a club , now street thats a different story, just look at the street soilders in beaumont.

More than enough interest. Just no place to ride. The bogus closing of the Angelina sealed the deal. Most are unwilling to drive the extra 20 to 30 minutes to Cravens, Forest Hill or SHNF.

Speaking of Angelina: whats the latest with that? Didn't they get some money approved for the project to open a riding area near Toledo? Wasn't there a court mandate saying they needed to make this happen?

Oh, and kinda harsh on us MX'ers. I'm not a big fan of how limited the passing space is in the woods. You've got to basically bump someone out of the way to get around. Also, the starts really favor a rekluse clutch. I don't own one and starting last then eating lots of dust while moving forward kinda blows.

Always an excuse. Sometimes multiple. You have made our point.
