We went and checked it out last Sat (Nov 17) and rode for about 6 hours. We got the one day pass and it ended up costing us $47.00 to ride and to have mom come with us into the pits was another $5.00 for a grand total of $52.00 + $85 in diesel to get there. It was about 200 miles for us, and well worth it.

The facility is awesome. It is heated, well lit & has "real" bathrooms! These are all things that the indoor that we normally run struggles with.
They really understand how to run an indoor mx track and their smoothness shows it.

From having a very good exhaust system, to the electronic flagging stations and then there is the track!
The track is very well designed. The layout has a good flow and the jumps are pretty safe too.
Cody ran about 1 minute lap times on his 85cc bike, with his best laps being around 57 seconds.
A couple of the A riders were breaking 50 seconds, but not everyone that rides can do that.
They were haulin!

About the only thing I can say negative about it is the rocks. My suggestion is to use hand guards because of it. Lots of one inch "knuckle" busters out there.

We are already making plans to get back there ASAP!
