Dirty Turtle closing 2-23-14

It doesn't surprise me that its closing. The locals hated it.

The crazy thing is he didn't own the land he leased it from someone. I agree it is a money maker but people don't realize what it takes to host an offroad event now a days. Man power, insurance, payouts, etc. It all adds up and in the end the insurance man will kill an event in a heart beat once he learns of lack of safety measures. Today it is all about risk mitigation and I would bet that old Joe may not have had an insurance policy, sure you sign a waiver but there is a whole bunch more to it than that.
