That's too bad. It does look fun. I got mottville confused with galesburg, I have a pic from the 80s from there.
Mottville Speedway, Michigan

I'll message them here in a day or two and ask. It'd be really unfortunate if they hold of much longer. Most people are already making plans. We need something even tentative, asap

All I got was "soon". I am keeping the pressure on and the minute I see something , I'll post.

Pretty small. Only thing I can compare it to is Shipshewana. Maybe a little bigger. Bull ring though. The pits should be the asphalt track, which is nice.

Hoping they have a really amazing idea to draw in karts other than promoting. We are losing faith and wondering why they announced anything so soon, when they clearly don't seem ready.

we all had a meet and greet out there about a month ago. They tore up the infiled and mad some laps with some old beater karts and some side by sides... then they got busy over to M40. I know in the conversation, insurance co wanted them to make a bunch of changes, electrical, lighting. barriers and such.. they had a couple semi trailer full of tires they were working on as well... There was talk about putting the kart track out in the main parking area... hoping to hear back from Austin this week... with him and his small group trying to run, own and improve 2 tracks... it may take some time. Mottiville stopped running karts after a kid stuck his kart in the cement wall at high speed. This was YEARS ago.. to my knowledge the kid was never the same after that... I'm hoping they will pave a smaller oval inside the track. Looking forward to testing whatever they build.

Again. Losing faith that it will be a success or even happen. Dude doesn't communicate what so ever. Not enough updates to care really. Reminds me way too much of the last two that just went under.
Also nobody paves anything for go kart racers. It's tough enough to get a dirt track with some clay on it around here. Hey Happy 4/20 tho.

Where is your home track and what do you race? We are in SW Michigan and two hours + from everywhere.

It's been two months since they announced they were racing karts this year, and they still don't have classes or an even tentative schedule. Really no update in 2 months.

S T A Y T U N E D H E R E !!! We ran some karts and lawn mowers last Saturday as a test. I'll start a new thread when I have "solid" information.
Likely late next week.
And yes... guy is a terrible communicator.
