2020 is off and running
The 2020 season got off to a roaring start with the biggest Opening Day in our history (at least as far as we know anyway). With 290 total riders and 64 motos it was HUGE and with just a few minor issues with power for the gate, and long lines for registration, both of which we have plans to improve, it was super smooth. The track was in mid-season shape and the weather was perfect. We hope that everyone that came enjoyed the experience and look forward to seeing you again soon!
