The Low Down on “The Wrangler"
The ATVA Circuit’s Newest Venue

Morgantown, WV (1/9/06) - The opening round of the ATVA National Motocross Championships on February 4-5th is once again at the historic Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California. Just one week later, February 11-12th, “The Wrangler” will be held at Oak Hill Motocross Park in Alvord, Texas - one of four exciting new locations on the circuit for 2006. So for those planning to attend the inaugural event, here’s your Texas low down.

The Oak Hill MX Park is less than an hour’s drive north/west of Forth Worth, TX in the countryside with an abundance of oak trees, ponds and open range for a true Texas look and feel. The facility is located on 200 acres with plenty of parking and accommodations. For those planning on camping at the track, there are over 200 motorhome hook-ups with electric and water. The parking area surrounds the majority of the track, providing optimum viewing from the pits. Kids will stay entertained at the KTM PlayLand, equipped with a play set, sand box, and the volley ball, tetherball, basketball, and horse shoe courts

Oak Hill MX is a spectator friendly venue with seven sets of bleachers along the track - two of them in the infield area accessible via tunnels on opposite sides of the track to allow quick access from one side of the facility to the other. In addition, the scoring tower’s upper deck is open to the public providing a phenomenal bird’s eye view of the facility.

The motocross track is plenty long for a national event and has a concrete starting line with a pneumatic gate. The track itself has an interesting mix of obstacles, including doubles, table-tops, step-ups, step-downs, and whoops, combined with some elevation changes to provide for exhilarating racing action. The most distinctive section of the track is a 13-whoop stretch positioned along a sweeping turn, appropriately named the “Baker’s Dozen”, which is sure to impress even the most experienced racers.

The terrain is a mixture of sand and clay, but the majority of the track is sand with sections of hard clay, so be prepared for sand whoops and distinctive lines developing during the race. More importantly, all the obstacles are built using clay, so the jump faces and landings will be able to hold up to several hundred racers pounding them lap after lap. To eliminate single line racing, the track averages over 25 feet wide, with five sweeping turns sporting optional inside/outside lines to provide for even more passing opportunities.

Track Manager, Craig Martin, is extremely excited about hosting an ATVA National Motocross event, and seeing how until now, there has never been an all-ATV event held at the facility. “I believe the track layout and facility will be one of the best you attend all season,” said Martin, “We’re really excited about working with the Racer Productions crew.” Racer Productions, producer of The Wrangler National, has years of experience producing ATV Nationals, with such successful events as the ATV Stampede at High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, PA, and the granddaddy of all ATV Nationals – Loretta Lynn’s Dirt Days at Hurricane Mills, TN.

For those who want to get a jump-start on season, the Texas Quad Racing Association (TQRA) will be hosting the “National Warm-Up” at Oak Hill MX track on January 14-15th, providing the perfect opportunity to fine-tune your skills at the Oak Hill track before “The Wrangler “scheduled for February 11-12th.
