madcat6183 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well, if you can't wait for the IMS, John is always willing to show off his trailer, house, shed, public bathroom, park bench, office, etc.on an anytime basis.Speaking of dude, we need to hit the Ele up sometime soon. I think Im open most Fridays. Saturdays this month are pretty beat, except this Saturday. I could always do a week night too, just need a little head notice and not sure the wife would come. But we could always just meet up for a few drinks and dinner.I'll text ya later today if I remember. And yes, he is correct, anytime, anyplace. Aren't you the one from Shelby? I was in Mansfield and Ashland last weekend of Dec. but was slammed busy second I came in and second I left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm glad the schedule doesn't start till May. My job should be ending by the end of April (fingers crossed) so that first weekend in May should be a fun way to celebrate. Hopefully we get another dry summer like last year.

The shank alone was 200+, along with torsion bars, sway, and ball. I will obviouslly also have it at the MS events I attend so you can check it out there too.I cannot wait for that bar we found by Nelson last year after the nightmare of a first full Saturday with all the start issues. Cox was halfway dead and we were all drinking beer and eating bar food. Then it got cold at night though, wow did it ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually make at least 1-2 trips a year to Iron Pony, and there will most likely be a concert somewhere in Cbus that won't be in Cleveland. Rock-And-Roll-Capitol-Of-The-World my ass.

ama146 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 is a repave at nelson even a remote possibility in any of our lifetimes? lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 They'd go out of business and close the place up before they put any money in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It's nice to dream about, but a repave at Nelson is never going to happen under the current ownership. And the thing holding that place back from ever having new ownership is the huge, ugly tire wall all the way around the track. Stacks of tires 2 miles long are hard and expensive to get rid of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Not if you use them to repave the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 If they repave Nelson and do nothing else, someone will kill themselves in a high speed off-track excursion. As sad as the condition of that surface is, it keeps the speeds down in places where you have tire walls and armco barriers within spitting distance of the asphalt. Trust me, no one would like to see that place repaved more than me and my supple taint. But a brand new ribbon of asphalt in that place is perfume on a pig. Sad, as that place has all kinds of potential for the right wealthy investor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CephasGT Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 If I won the lottery, I'd buy Bluegrass and finish it long before I'd ever even think of Nelson.2 rounds at Putnam this year has me rubbing my hands eagerly, though!

And while throwing $$$ at some of the problem area would be great, the carousel is basically a ramp to nowhere, and T12 would be so much faster, I would be worried about bikes making it onto the front straight unles they afded gravel. Then there's te drainage issue, etc. a lot more is needed at Nelson than jut a repave. Nelson is like your college booty call. You're not marrying her, but she's convenient and fun and doesn't cost you much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
