rivard speed mx track?

[yamaholic]

Anyone know what happened or is happening there? I rode there back in 2002. Was pretty fun. (when no wind and with some water!)

ya i rode there a couple time back in 01/02. i heard something on one forum about it becoming a private place and you had to pay a big membership fee to join.

Mark Rivard owns the place. He closed it to the public and basically to
everyone. He sometimes invites one or two people there. It's closed due
to liability concerns.

I used to ride there a lot (I built several jumps there). The track still exists, and Mark says he rides it a lot.

Mark is at CM a lot, big gray ford dually with a tall long white trailer.
White YZF450 #39.

My last experience regarding R-Speed:

I road there 3 or 4 times while it was open. Then after not riding there for about 6 months, I check the website to get the hours and head out there on a Saturday. When I got there there were already about 5 trucks out there.

Then some guys walk up to my truck and ask "What the F** I'm doing out there", and that it was a private track and I better get the F** off their property.

So I "Kindly" (By kindly, I mean a fight almost ensued) let them know they should take the time to change their website, and went to Club Moto.

I parked next to him one time he was real friendly and let me borrow some tools. I think its a chevy duramax though, one of those real big ones like a 5500 er' something. might be wrong.

i heard through the grapevine that a promoter was going to come in next to him and buy just over 100 acres to set up a new MX compound.. like CMP.. have a bunch of tracks, camping, stores, dorms, the works.. but he came in with a bunch of lawyers and got it shot down ... they were even going to hold nationals and supercrosses there.. thats how BIG time it WAS going to be .. sad that he didnt want to further the sport.. just what i heard..
