I sent an email to Scott Lane at Nelson Ledges (as Im sure many of you have) about the tire walls. I purposed the solution of I would provide the equipment to move the walls and regrade the run off (or lack there of). Scott responded: Matt, Thank you very much for this generous offer. I have to wait until some issues are resolved that will have a major impact on this subject. If things go as I anticipate the run-off and safety barrier issue will resolved in a big way. I can’t be very specific yet, and I apologize for the vague answer, however we’ll all have to be patient for a few more weeks. Thanks again for the offer. I estimated that the last section of tire wall that I moved from 3 – 7 riders left would have cost well over a million if outside contractors were used. Grading for new barrier location, moving barriers and re-grading run-off and re-stacking tires if a big effort, and I sincerely appreciate your offer to help facilitate that.

if you need manpower to help with anything, i'm in. with a little notice i can come up most any day (lots of vacation time at work to burn).
Very nice. I think the ruts in the run-off that does exist is pretty bad. Being able to grade that out in some capacity would be great.
Thanks Spatt! :up: After seeing Kevin Calloway (sp) hit the tire wall off the back straight last month I haven't viewed the place the same!
I would guess it would either be one of the two: 1. acquiring more land. 2. getting some crazy eco-protective measure lifted that would allow more development on existing property
I would be willing to help out as well. I might even be able to borrow my dad's tractor to help out with the moving of tires. It's not a very big one but it does have a front-end loader and a rear blade.
