Yes, No Hookups
Metcalf is Hardpack dirt, that is preped with
wood chip type organic material. It tends to
be Crisco slick when watered.
Accomodations are very nice for spectators.
The jumps were abrupt for Vintage riders but
the PV guys really liked the Permenant
Track Layout, as mandated by Park Officials.

So many alternate lines and
places to pass at Metcalf. It really
is a FUN track to race at. The
temps were High but the breeze
coming up the canyon made them
bearable.

By our second Motos it had
packed up pretty hard. The
jumps shot you up really
good or bad depending on
what you were riding.
