Just was wondering if anyone has gone to the new track up in Hamlin, Pa. yet. Was thinking of going but would like to know what it is like before I go. The doctor just gave me the green light to go back to riding and I'am itching to go. I broke my thumb and fractured my hand back in July up at MX 573 in Montose, Pa. I have had to much time away from my quad. If anyone wants to go to either place in the next couple weeks let me know. I'm ready!

The place is called Headquarters Moto Facility. It is in Hamlin, about a mile uotside of town. This is according to there directions. Looks like a cool place. I will stop by there on my way to MX573 and check it out.

I use to ride Montrose a lot. But this sounds great if there is one in Hamlin. I go passed there every week. Anyone have any info on it? Are they bike friendly?

From the pictures off the web site. KFX450Rrider490 hit it right on the button it looks real spaced out. No real high berms and such.

Heard the same thing from a few friends of mine who went up there.

Track is pretty wide open the entire time. Jumps aren't too big.

Does anyone know if the FMX ramp is Quad-friendly? That's what I've been waiting for.

ide give it about a 5 out of 10 never watered the track. tons of ruts, powder turns that were awesome to blow up and all the jumps had pretty big consiquenses if you came up short not a bad place to go ride on like a monday but i would never pick it over a diffrent track

Went there yesterday. First time I rode in about two years. I liked the track. Its rocky and still needs some improvements but over all its a real nice track. It cost 30 bucks to ride and the owner is real nice. Defiantly would go again.:macho

ive been going myself quite abit...the back section(supposed quad track) is pretty weak...ledge sticking out and such. if they concentrated on the front half of the track, it wouldnt be so bad....it really needs to get ripped up...hard hard pack with alot of rocks...two of the jumps are 4th gear wide open(on a 250 2 stroke bike). havent seen any quads hit that 75 double or the triple. they need to keep it groomed and pick rocks! u can't beat having a track open 5 days a week and a half hour away! at least for me!

When I went it wasn't to hard packed but the rocks were getting pretty bad. They been pickin the rocks up a lot though. I never been on the back track. I may be going up next Sunday.

I'm the opposite! I can hit maybe two jumps but I can corner great. I gotta get into the hang of riding again.:p
