Nicely tilled, then remove that dirt (take some extra out of a couple places) then till again. Re-add the first tilled dirt and till again just to be sure. Then water, water, water. If needed I can come help drink a beer and supervise,  ;D

Seriously though just having fun, have some fun with the drags.

Sorry Roy but the drinking beer and supervising postion is already takin by me. But I will give you the supervising part and I will take the beer drinking part. ;),  Is that the way you guys did your mud race? Because that sounds like an awesome pit.

It's kind of how we did ours Andy but a lot more dirt work. I see how you are, much rather drink alone than enjoy a few cold ones with some fellow riders.  :D If you want to play in some DEEP mud were going tomorrow.  ;)

Front wheels a sitting on what used to be the bank.

How come you guys dont ever till anything up there? Big bikes need paddles to hook up, thats a fact. Paddles need a loose surface to work, thats also a fact. Whats 2+2 equal???  ;D

4 quad lengths  :o  ;D   
goodsound, I think very few people up here have paddles or even ran them before.I would run a tilled track if there was more demand up here for it.But I go for what majority rules locally

Ya, I would say maybe 15% of the people who come to the SD races have never run paddles before. If we could get enough people interested in it and willing to show up and try it, I think it would be fun to do something though.

Around here its mainly for a lack of a better term " farm machines" That get used for racing on occassion. There are very few of us that hit all or most of the events. If it was tilled I think we would loose alot of the locals at each event.
