| I plan on going to Bull Run on Sunday for the 3rd race of the series as a spectator and was wondering if it is usually a good turnout? It's a long drive from the Bangor Area if the classes are small and it's not much fun to watch. I haven't been there for a while. Any input?

| Jimbo742 (5/15/2008) I plan on going to Bull Run on Sunday for the 3rd race of the series as a spectator and was wondering if it is usually a good turnout? It's a long drive from the Bangor Area if the classes are small and it's not much fun to watch. I haven't been there for a while. Any input?its hard to say what a turn out will be.. but the past two races have been about 300... or better. i think you should come down anyways... its maine's oldest mx track

| | Correction: Skowhegan is the oldest Maine track. I raced in Skowvegas in 1982 when they 1st opened. I beleive Bull Run was not used as a sanctioned event until late 1980's. I remember watching kids use Bull Run as a practice track in 1987...I worked in Auburn and used to check it out when I had no bike (and no $$). Good luck to all this Sunday.

| I'll be there, even though it's the second oldest track. Although I raced Waterboro in 1979, but they're not around any more, so it doesn't count.

| hahha, good one.....actually, I beleive Bull Run is the "3rd" oldest track. I think the old Lisbon track (I beleive Jimmy Ellis raced there) was used before Waterboro. I started racing Waterboro in 1983, great track.

| No hard feelings Shawn.....I was just trying to enlighten anyone reading this forum topic. Even though I am only 47 this June, believe me, I FEEL 65 when I am riding!!  Keep up the great work...you are doing a great job on MDB, especially the weekly interviews. Great idea. Good luck at Bull Run....I don't think I will make it this weekend, maybe NESC events next weekend.
