The City closed our Speedway 5 years ago. But we're back on the schedule at the 1 mile Horse Track. Ronnie Jones made a test run on it a few years ago and now is working for the AMA.
If you're in the area in June 18th, it looks like we'll have a race. And there's nothing like bikes on The Mile. Racing as good as it gets.
We'll have to have a Moto Guzzi NAR social event.

... we're back on the schedule at the 1 mile Horse Track....
John, I've seen the track from a distance, but never up close. Do you know what sort of surface it is? Not every track has the good fast clay of Springfield.
I remember Ross Downs (just down the road in Fort Worth) and that was something of a sand pit that only resulted in terrible (and very dangerous) racing--I remember Rich King pulling out. I gather that Remington Park only survives because of the casino side of the business, horse racing having dropped way down (which is why Ross Downs is now a residential community) so perhaps they've allowed the track to be reworked in favor of two and four wheel racing.
In any case, whether its a horrible all-sand surface or terrific clay; I'll be there.
-
OH HELL YES !

DK- I've never been to Remington Park despite living here. Ronnie told me that the track was good to race on but he did his test about 5 years ago *. I know he's been working on this since then. I doubt if the track has changed. It is 7/8 mile. You are correct about the casino.
If we get some interest we can do campout or perhaps arrange a meet up at a hotel.
* Wiki says the surface is Sandy Loam One Mile Oval (bermuda is 7/8 track). Seating for 10k at the grandstand.
-
John , are you thinking Arcadia Lake ? We could do a Seaba visit .
Dusty
-
Arcadia would be a good spot for a camp out. Particularly for old fart Guzzi guys that don't get too rowdy.
I can also scout out some hotels if we can get a group rate.
-

In some cases, it has been possible to remove the top layer of horse-appropriate dirt which reveals a surface better suited to tires. But, we'll hope that the existing surface is strong enough to provide a good cushion track.
Let's also hope that the promoter gets the word out! There have been too many one-off tracks that never are on the schedule long enough to gain a good local following--and then they're gone.
-
Great news! I'm in! :bike-037:

That is outstanding. I wish more milers would open around the country. More TT's too!

Went to dinner with some local riders familiar with the testing a few years ago. I was told the track was graded deeply. That a huge cut out, perhaps a 2-4 ft was piled on the outside edge. Hopefully that would be taken off because it was described as a potential hazard as was passed on to one of the guys that was a tester on an amatuer vintage bike.
-
John , are you thinking Arcadia Lake ? We could do a Seaba visit .
Dusty
I just rode over to the lake office. Arcadia Lake is on the SE corner of I-35 and Rt 66 and runs about 3-4 miles in each direction. There are 3 campgrounds. One of them is right off I-35 and a straight shot to the Remington Downs. Campsites are $20-$25 and Pavilion is $50. There are swimming beaches and fishing at the lake but not in walking distance to the campsite.
There is also a fancy RV park right next to the track. It's an RV resort so probably no tent camping. It's $50 a night.
Now I am planning to set up my travel trailer. It has two queen beds + two bunk beds, so you do the math on how many folks can sleep in it. I'd be willing to set it up at either place. If we have tent campers, I can reserve a couple of sites and even the pavilion at Lake Arcadia.
Local hotels are about $75+.
Plenty of time to think about it.
-
John , wonder if Gary Scott is willing to consider this the replacement for the Canton Lake gig ?
Dusty

You'll have to ask Gary.

Looks like I will have another AMA Flat Track races to attend.;-)

Bob we're looking at setting up a campout Lake Arcadia. It's just up the road from the Remington Park.
I will most likely make the race. I'm not to sure about camping, at 72 years old a soft bed is more appealing than a sleeping bag.;-)
Bob
-
If you note in my original thread, I'd like to set up my camping trailer but motels are in the $75 range.
We'll just look at who might like to make it and figure the best plan.

Hell, at 27 the bed was more appealing - contents and context not withstanding. :boozing:

I plan to set up my travel trailer for a campout on Friday before the race thru Sunday. (Probably at Lake Arcadia Scissortail campgrounds- not open now.)
The trailer has 4 beds. Hopefully we can have a mini campout + race.
Send me a PM if you are interested and I'll try to reserve the right amount of space and see who wants to use the trailer vs tent.
-
I'll be there John , probably just throw out a pad and bag .
Dusty

I know several of you indicated that you'll be coming here from out of town to enjoy the race. If you want to stay in a hotel, consider that decent hotels in the area start at about $75/nite, pretty reasonable.
CAMPING:
We have campgrounds on Arcadia Lake just about 15 minutes north of the track. I've been in touch with the city and am arranging to book some sites. I will be setting up my travel trailer which has 4 beds in it (+ kitchen and bath). The campgrounds have bath houses, firepits, electric, BBQ grills, and pavilions. Once we get a head count, I'll arrange for the camping.
BBQ Cookout:
I am booking a pavilion for a cookout. The local (geezer) classic bike club (http://blhot.webs.com/) is treating you (and themselves) with a cookout social. The races start at 4pm Saturday and will run into the night. We can either schedule the cookout for Friday night or Saturday lunch (before the races). Even if you aren't camping, you can come to the social. Again, let me know your preferences.
Misc: I understand the VIP and indoor tickets are being sold quickly in advance. I think there is an outdoor small grandstand and also Gen'l Adm / bring-your-own chair area. I know there is no way I am going to be behind glass to watch a race. Now if you're like me, you might need to strap bag chair / camping chair on your bike. I think mid June should be pretty temperate for a Saturday evening- August would be another matter.
Everyone wants this wants this event to take off. The Downs is spending lots to remove 18 inches of dirt off the one mile track. The local guys are all in for it and looking forward to having a good time.
Let me know your preferences for lodging, camping and a social with the locals. I'll do my best to assist. My trailer is first come, first serve deal although Mike D, Rockers, Delrod, John & Dusty will have first dibs and Darren lives just across I-35.
Please let me know your plans so we can make this a success.
-
I use to own a Stelvio but now own a KTM....will a a non Guzzi be welcomed to this event?
-

of for sure. The local club is open to all even -folks that don't even have a running motorcycle. Lots of Triumph riders involved :evil:.
Now the camping options are up in the air. Some campgrounds I can book and others are first come, first serve.
-

That's really good news.
I'm with you on not wanting to watch the race behind the glass. These modern horse tracks are beautiful facilities, but I find that being in the protected seating area with the air-conditioning and floor-to-ceiling glass and lots of TV monitors is a poor experience. It's best to get outside.
-
Agree DK.
Mid June should be pretty nice weather. Especially in the evening.
There is also supposed to be a vintage flat track display.
-
Planning on making this trip myself. Rescheduled our whole race year when we found out about it.
-
Stay in touch Curtis. We want to see you at the cookout (most likely Friday night). We should have some left overs at the campground Saturday.
-
Here's the ticket info I received from the promoter (looks like they will have plenty of race day tickets).
Hello John,
Unfortunately all of the outdoor seating is General Admission. The Remington venue is unique (unfortunately), in that it only has picnic tables and benches outside (enough for a few hundred). We are renting portable bleachers that will seat around 2000-3500. There is good viewing from lots of areas but the front strait-a-way has the benefit of a very large jumbo tron which all of the fanschoice.tv cameras will be linked to.
So to answer your question. If you purchase general admission tickets I'm certain you will have a great view of the race. In my opinion the best view, just that the seating is extremely limited. There are many shady/grassy areas one could place folding chairs if your friends chose to bring their own. As far as limited admissions...I'm certain that wont happen. I believe the capacity of Remington is around 22,000. I would love to see that problem come to fruition, but not likely.
I hope this helps answer your questions and don't hesitate to send me a note or give me a call should you have any more.
Thank you,

The LBM Du... (let's just call it an L-head engine) team will be there--running a limited schedule this season as they did last season. It would be nice if teams received the factory support that people think they do.

Sure, but when you see advertising for the Scrambler Flat Track model along with pictures that capitalize on somebody else's efforts, it's hard not to want to hand out free advertising in the other direction.
Certain teams with green Kawasakis have tried the "we'll shame them into supporting us because people will assume they do" approach. I don't think that works, either.

You are probably correct , and until we see crowds of 20K at the races on a consistent basis , the factories won't really care . Even the MoCo isn't nearly as involved as 30 years ago .

Wishful thinking on my part . Sad , but even the HD dealer where Carolyn's SIL works seems to be unaware of any significance attached to this race . I've tried to pique people interest , mostly get blank stares in return .
Dusty

I talked to a HD salesman @ the Joplin Harley lifestyle store, he was actually pretty pumped about the whole deal. The yam triumph shop in Springfield mo actually had a poster on the bulletin board for the event

John, the locals are buying tickets in the glassed in grandstand and buying table tickets for bar & food.
I figure we'll want to be outside. The table guys are free to go to outside. I can get advanced tickets if you want.
Check the website and let me know what your preference is.

I say we buy Gen Adm at the gate and take some lawn chairs. If there's room in grandstands we'll leave the chairs and sit in the bleachers. Reading the e-mail it looks like the best thing.
No way I am going to sit behind glass. And a mid June evening should be pretty bearable if not out & out pleasant.
-
Sounds great but hauling a lawn chair from Springfield mo on a bike won't be a visceral experience. But I want to sit outside
-
If you don't have a camping chair, I have some bag chairs that I got at Walmart for $5. I've been known to leave them (or have them taken before I packed them).
-
TW,
I am still working on it. There are five parks that we can camp but the city has been adamant that campsites can't be reserved in advance, everything is first come, first served. And to make it worse, there are only two shower facilities. So I am trying to get a pavilion for the BBq but wanting to get it in same park that we might camp. And even crazier, if get three RV campsites, we get the pavilion for free- talk about Catch 22!
I've sent a request into the city to make an exception but it's pretty doubtful.
So I am thinking about reserving the best pavilion and hopeful that we can find three RV sites there on Thursday or Friday.
-
well, I live here and I'll be able to grab a few spots and there should be some available regardless. Where I have the most problems putting it all together:
1) Can I get campsites in the same park with the reserved pavilion?
2) Can I get campsites somewhat close together, or even adjacent?
3) Can I get campsites close to showers? (Five campgrounds & two showers) basically one shower to service 3 campgrounds on RT 66 and one shower to service the other campground on 15th street (6 miles away)
I'd like to be able to get the pavilion and campsites at Scissortail campground on 15th Street.

trying to camp around here.

wow Deke, that thing looks like a real bad boy.
So why run a Duc (vs Kaw)? Is it the familiarity and time invested?

So why run a Duc (vs Kaw)? Is it the familiarity and time invested?
Two years ago, the team ran a Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki and Ducati. Whatever Jake Johnson wanted that day is what he'd use--leaving the announcers to often get it wrong when they called the race. It actually worked, but that's a lot of variation to handle.
Both David and Michael have a lot of passion to put that Ducati on top of the box (as they did with Joe Kopp). This season, the Kawasaki is probably the benchmark on the horsepower miles, but on a deep track, the Ducati can do well. If Oklahoma kept the soft dirt, the Ducati would do better. If it's been scraped to hardpan, the Kawasaki will do well. But, so much depends on setup and the rider's ability to work the conditions. Watching these guys in the pits trying to anticipate the conditions makes you think that road-racing is simple by comparison.

Deke , road racing is simpler than dirt track . Go ahead all of you road racing fans , scoff , but the simple sport of flat track is incredibly difficult .
Dusty
dirt is difficult. It changes from track to track, and at the track it changes minute to minute. Sand, clay, moisture, slick, tacky lots of variables. And with that fence, lots of bravery.
-
Bump . Link isn't working.any updates John ?
Dusty

It looks like the web site is down.
Stub Hub shows a sell out of all reserved seats with GA only.
http://www.stubwire.com/events/okcmile/2016/
No one here has purchased tickets and neither have I. So I hope the GA works out.
I have reserved a pavilion for BBQ on Friday at a Hafer Park (in town -not at Lake Arcadia). But that is tentative, maybe we'll postpone the club BBQ and I'll cook for you guys at my trailer.
-
as I posted in late March. You might want to call him or e-mail him. My biggest concern is the view from GA seats:

Here are my plans:
I'll arrange for camping at Lake Arcadia. We can split the camping fees and I'll set up my travel trailer as basecamp. Since I can't reserve campsites in advance, send me a post or PM and I'll work a headcount. I'll try to find a several campsites together on Friday and call you later in the day provide directions, campsite numbers, etc. FYI- There are 4 different campgrounds on the lake that are several miles apart. I'll need your cell numbers to get back to you.
If you don't camp there are many hotel options starting around $70 a night in the same area.
I am heading out on vacation tomorrow, so I might not be plugged into the board. I plan to be back here a week or so before the race, so send me a PM anytime, I'll check it when I get a chance and plan accordingly.
Basically this is the same info I mentioned before.

got this e-mail
Hello John, we are currently up to 3000+ seating in general admission. Will continue to add as ticket sales increase! You are welcome to bring lawn chairs but there is going to be some really good grand stand seating it will just be first come first serve! I think viewing, even from a lawn chair, will be great especially as long as its in view of the giant jumbo tron on the front straight as it will provide the best view to the back straight for everyone.
Thank you,

we can some ribs at Leo's BBQ and get to track at early.
practice 3pm
paddock 5:15
opening ceremonies: 6:30
It looks like we might get a good crowd but when I go out on the bike and talk other riders and race fans, they nothing about it.
-
John , it is an unfortunate fact that most motorcycle riders are unaware of any motorcycle related events besides the biker rallies . Motorcycles on the mile is the greatest form of racing , period . Yet most folks simply don't care , SX draws crowds of 40,000 , and is mostly a parade , and Nascar , while it isn't what it was , still pulls large attendance numbers for what amounts to crash fests and pit stops . Seems to be all about marketing and brand identification , which FT lacks .
Dusty
-
I was just talking to the "geologists" guys that ride new style Beemers. We were yacking Sunday about Rossi's blown engine in the morning's race but he didn't know anything about the Mile.
Yeah, he seemed pretty jazzed about it when I told him.
It's not the first time I had those conversations.
-
So who is in fellas ? If you have never watched flat trackers on a mile , you have no idea what you're missing . Time to get a good head count . I know Big Tony and Large Bernie are coming down from Wichita , that is if Bernie doesn't get a hold of the guy that gave his brother free tickets that turned out to be completely counterfeit :shocked:

OK,
I've heard from Dusty, Doug, Chris and John. Coming here Friday. I'll try to procure a campsite Friday early. BTW- all the three campgrounds at the lake (RV and Primitive) were all filled by noon today.
So I'll go after it early Friday and call or meet you at Seaba Sta.
-
I've got three spare bedrooms at my place. But I am hopeful to get around early and procure a couple of campsites.
-
It looks Chris will camp. John will stay at my place. Dusty will stay with his sister. And I've not heard from Doug but I have a room for him.
We'll do a BBQ at my house on Friday.
Someone might give Doug a call.

The place was really packed. I am sure we'll get them to return next year. I was a little disappointed with track surface, it was pretty slick and the racing strung out. No draft passes. You did see guys hanging on for dear life. Mees #1 was hooked up and gone. The weather turned really nice and then we got a flood 10 minutes after the chex.

It was a great weekend, thanks to you and Bev for letting us stay at your beautiful home John. And your country style ribs were great!
