The OMAR track in Ava, Mo is being prepped as we speak for the national next weekend. Everyone here is really excited about hosting their first national. I have posted a few pics of the track from several months ago. There are a bunch of changes since these were taken. Some signature features have been added including a downhill ski jump leading to a tricky high banked sweeping 180 and then back up horsepower hill (a long uphill straightaway). I'll try to get some updated pictures on here in a day or two.

So - who all is coming?

Sorry about not getting any more pictures posted. The place looks so much different every day that you wouldn't recognize it from pics anyway.

just got back tonight from Ava. this was my first national. got a 10th in Vet 30+ and 4 stroke B. my friend Nick got a 6th in 25+ and a 10th in Production B. the track layout was very cool. some fast stuff and some technical stuff. unfortunately the track got really rough. overall we had a great time. it was cool to finally see the Pros race in person. i'm glad i got to see Frankie get a Pro class win.

sorry i did not get to meet you there. we did look for you we were over along the cow feild we had a great spot with plenty of shade under the trees. we took a pair of 4ths got hit bye other riders alot those boys dont play fair. need new wheels. some one on the start poped a wheelie and stuck it in my front fender then flipped his macine upside down but i batteled back for a fourth. and that put us in 3rd for overall points in the sereis. had a great hole shot but oh well. we loved the track. WELL DONE TERRY REYNOLDS!!!!. this place is only going to get better in the future. took us 20 hrs to get there and boy was it ever hot. we did ask a couble # 75 but it wasent you. and yes the track really started to get rough especialy in the final corner bye the start line that was a creaaaaater. our last race was at 12.15 am. well at least i get a break off to pampper the machine for N.C. take care patrick75.

Rustee...
we were right next to staging in a gray trailer. not the best spot with all the dust i'll tell you. i was in race #2 and #23 so my last main was around 12:00. yea, i think that track will be really cool once they get the surface to hold up. had a nice mix of tight stuff and fast sections.
