    spaniel, can you please groom your backyard track to look like this one.  I would definitely make the trip, nay pilgrimage, to run the Beer Mile.  If you build it they will come.  

    Seriously this looks like runners heaven to me!  Saw this on LR.

    Feeling the growl again

      You mean the company and experience isn't enough to make it worth it?  Wink

       

      Yeah, it would require a few truckloads of dirt in Turn 4 to level it out.  What I'd really need to do is Roundup the entire thing and re-plant with grass that does not grown in clumps.  That and a roll with a very heavy roller in the spring would go a long way.


      But that's a lot of work so that a bunch of idiots an stagger around it once every July…though I guess I'd do workouts there more often as well.

        I'll throw in 50 bucks.

          You know me.  I'd just blow it on beer.  Big Red had those massive 3L bottles of Stone Arrogant Bastard for $75.

              Don't change a thing. The potholes and such are what makes that course.

              Not at it at all.

                So you're making a return trip?

                 

                I smell a thread determining a 2016 date in the near future.  This is probably the latest I have ever entertained the idea.  I guess being out of town greater than 30% of the year does not help….

                  Eh, I want to but this year is not looking too good.

                    I liked that they used a drone to film that. Maybe you could get one of those too.
