peels you can see the jumps on the track in the water nov12   track now mostly dry maybe 3 ft of water on flats screw the track we got random piles sand just daring you to jump them lol  spend sun diging 4 feet deep trench under the bridge trying to drain the flats . preddy had 25 guys working down at the park to get it open as fast as we can . 150 ft of fence buried in sand . the hillblazzers(dirt bike club) had a mini dozer down for the day.mini dozers are bad ass.
