Our plans were, and still are to build the best track in the Midwest.
Unfortunately the weather has not cooperated with us as far as allowing us to complete the track construction on time. 

We could have thrown in the towel and quickly carved out a track, and brought people out to ride on a rough, rocky, single line track.  Instead we have decided to stick to our original plan which is to build a smooth, fast, multi-line track. 

While this has cost us some practice time, we feel that everybody is much better off if we stick to our original plan.  We hope everybody appreciates this and understands our reasoning. 

This is also a good time to remind everybody of some of the rules that will be enforced at Mid-America.  We spent a lot of time securing the Marion County Fairgrounds and as long as a few rules are followed, there is no reason that we will not be here for many years.

1. There is a 105 decibel limit for all motorcycles and quads at all
practices and races. 
2. No alcohol is allowed on the premises.  Anybody that is found to be
in possession of alcohol will be asked to leave.  This is a policy of the
fair board, and we must enforce it as part of the lease agreement.
3. No knobby tires will be permitted on the rear wheel of any
motorcycle. 
4. Quads cannot have knobby tires on the front or rear.
5. In the event of any disputes, the referee's decision is final. 
6. AMA or ATVA memberships are required to race.
