Matt Bills and Myself will be racing TPC's One of Matt's friends is also planning on attending. I'm not 100% sure but Luke Peterson, another TPC owner has said he might come. If he does we are all in trouble...lol...as he has been beating up on the quads in his home state of Arkansas!!!

Luke said him and his brother are coming

What bridge? If your talking about the one coming from kentucky you go through cairo and get on 57.

Yeah, like on route 60 & you get to the stop sign & if you turn right you go to Cairo, but if you turn left, you remember there was a big narrow steel bridge that some of it fell in a few years ago.
Just about all the national race riders here in the east, going to Billys, would run route 60 over to Sikeston & none of us ever thought about going through Cairo. Was like 3 maybe 4 miles that way over to I-57, lot better than running that wobbly route 60 2 lane.
Somebody at Billys said a log truck about fell into the river when part of it gave way, so the DOT took it down completely.

I was born and raised in Sikeston. I have been in joplin for 11 yrs. My dad preached at a church in Wickliffe most of my life. I used to go over that bridge every week. My dad said it was closed but i dont know if it was open or not.

Hope the race happens. Billy said practice was cancelled for Friday due to the rain you guys got.

Just spoke with Billy, race postponed till next weekend. They worked their buts off but the rain was too much and track was too wet.

That sucks. I will have to make plans for next weekend

Rain, I think the rain forrest has moved over here to the USA. Has rained just about every 4 to 6 days here in the east.
Billy could get rid of that wet track, if he would fill in about 4 feet where the track is located. Being as sandy as it is in that area though, if he had a race scheduled & rain was called for, he probably would have to water the track in the rain if he filled in, built the track area up.

Tell you something else, if his track was built out of red clay & the way Billy promotes a race & carrys himself, it would be the only ATV TT track in many miles, because once the riders ran there they wouldnt want to race anywhere else.

I know. It looked like it there was going to be quite a few show up. I am not sure now. Are you going to be able to make it Bill?

Not sure, Some guys are in, some are questionable, and some are out.

I was discussing lamberts with my boss and thinking about food establishments in Sikeston. If you a greasy diner burger that is one of the best I have ever had go to Kirbys in downtown. I will be going there saturday.

Man, looked like a pretty good turnout. Dont it make you feel good to hold that trophy :ride::ride:
Is it the track lights making the track to look somewhat red, or has Billy found some red clay somewhere ?.
