I-57 Motocross Park

Like it says theres a new track in So-IL opening this saturday for those that dont already know. Its located right off the interstate in West Frankfort, IL. Saturday is the grand opening and memberships are available the flier says.
The track is 2miles long and was told it takes the pro riders who built it about 3 mins per lap.

More info call 618-513-1122

Directions-You will get off I-57 at exit 65 and go west .3miles to ken gray blvd and turn right, you will then head north until you get to a yield sign and turn right on 7th street. Go .2mi and our gate is on the left side just underneath the overpass.

Hope to see you guys there saturday.

Forgot to mention theres a 50cc practice track for kids,with an Sx track being built in the fall.

Sorry guys thats the only info I have, I just got that info from a flier I picked up at SI Yamaha. You can see the track from the interstate, on the east side of the interstate. Id say its about 10 minutes south of the dragstrip. Ill be there on a #3 Ktm 450, if you see me stop and say hey.

Casey is open nearly every weekend. It's not to far from Olney. Straight up 130 to 70, or 40 whichever you choose...

OK... I type in Frankfort,IL and get WAAAAYYYYY up near Chicago... explain....

West Frankfort not Frankfort. Im 40minutes south so this is the closest track for me at least. All of the others I know of are further north unless I drive down to kentucky.

Track was amazing. Very long, but very fun. Huge jumps and definitely worth the trip. I went ahead and got a membership so if you guys are ever there and see me stop by and say hi. I plan on being there a few times a week.

I ended up going today and the track was pretty awesome. I hit everything but the uphill triple but I'm sure I will next time I go. There was only 3 quads today.
