Racers will fist face a section of telephone poles, which will present a real challenge especially if racers don’t pick their line carefully

The next challenge is a rock pile followed by a combination of rocks and telephone poles

A tractor tire climb has also been added

Also for the motocross lovers, we have added several motocross jumps to the track, but everything is fairly tame, but should provide some added fun

Also, the track contains a great mixture of fields and woods section along with some hill climbs, and the great part is that the pits are centrally located spectators will not need to walk far in any direction to check different sections of the track.

With parts of the race going into the night, lights will be required on all the ATVs and we also needed them in the pits, so the local football stadium donated their lights to the event on 75’ tall telephone poles, which will provide plenty of lights in the pits and ABC Electrical Contractors donated their time and equipment to raise these huge lights for the event and wire them up, which was a huge help.

Also, special thanks to GBC Motorsports Kevin Johnston and the entire GBC Motorsports crew for all their help in making this event possible.

A huge crowd of racers and local residents showed up for the event

The NOHVCC was hand to inform local residents about responsible trail use and rider safety.
