On Sunday, April 18th the Southern Ohio Cross Country Series will kick off the 2010 season at a brand new location. Full Throttle Racing has relocated to The Williamson safe co. 5631 SR 73
Hillsboro, Ohio 45133. To get there, just follow 73 south out of Hillsboro for 2.5 miles and look for the big Williamson Safe Co. sign on the right. Plenty of flat parking and being right off a State Route makes it easy to bring in those Toy Haulers and RV's.
This location has never been raced on, in fact, it has never been ridden on. All the trails were freshly cut it over the last 3 months.
This track is more rolling hills than Cyco or humboldt Hills, so it is very beginner friendly. But don't be fooled, there are plenty of challenging sections for even the best riders. This course is 90% woods. There will be two Pro Option routes with alternate routes as always. these make for great spectator areas.

Now in its 7th Season(that right 7th) the SOCCS has been enjoying a great reputation as a small but very well organized series in Southern Ohio. These days it seems there are Harescrambles popping up everywhere, but back in 2003 there was only Motocross in the South-central to south-western part of the state. While many have come and gone, with the support of the best riders and fans in the State, we have managed to thrive and grow every year. It has truly been a blessing to spend time with our long extended family.

All the info you will need can be found at www.soccracing.com or you can even ask questions at our forums on www.harescrambletalk.com or you can view the flier here http://humboldthills.com/images/2010soccsfliers.jpeg

Gates open at 8am and racing starts at 8:45am.

Hare scrambles are conducted on marked courses over rugged natural terrain. Events are run for prescribed race time, typically two hours for adults and 45-60 minutes for kids. Competitive riders not only need to be fast, but also physically fit enough to maintain a race pace for hours at a time.
Since hare scrambles are conducted on closed courses, operator licenses aren't required and the machines do not need to be licensed for street use.

We hope to see you Sunday!!!!!

wow...wow and wow. You guys are spoiled rotten to have people like Josh, Kent, Mike, Luke, tim and the rest workin their tales off so you can all go and tear up the track they spent way to much time on setting up.
Looks like the big course is just over 4 miles, but seriously will be 5-6mile lap times, just because the way it flows.
50s are following Green arrows
90's and 85/65s are following blue and
Adults are on orange with 2 pro option routes on red. Both of which turn left for the short route.
Course is very well marked with a bunch of tight woods with a nice short 200 yard field section about every 1/2 mile to get you some passing spots.
Plenty of inside lines for the guys who were smart enough to walk the track.
there were a bunch out walking today. Plenty already there camping too.
Over all there will be a few dusty spots, but the rest will be perfect tacky dirt.
Great spectator spots just a few steps from the start and even better for those who like to trek across the tundra.
Great parking if not the best you will ever see at a SOCC race.
See you all tomorrow bright and early.
later
