The Surface
Why The Dirt Is Worth The Drive
The mix is red clay and wood shavings, and the ratio is ours. What it buys you is a track that still has berms and lines late in the day rather than one worn groove and a cloud of dust.
On The Gate
Everybody From Mini E To Open
This is not an experts-only track. Beginner classes like Youth D exist for a reason, and the layout is forgiving enough for a kid learning while still being big enough for A riders to hold it open.
Prepped Before You Roll In
The track is watered and ripped before gates open, and it gets worked through the day on race days.
You Can See The Whole Thing
The layout sits in an open field, so from most spots in the pits you can watch about 70 percent of the track. Parents love it.
