#AtvTrack

Track time can be a little difficult to come by for ATV and UTV riders, so it’s great to hear that Southern California’s Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park has announced completion of a dedicated ATV, Side-by-Side and Trophy Cart track. The track will open on Saturday morning, Oct. 6 at 9:00 am.

“With a layout filled with obstacles, the track was designed to challenge riders of all skill levels,” Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park says in a release.

We hear so much bad news about ATV and off-road trails and ride areas being shut down, it’s nice to have a little good news to report. How good? How about an 80-acre complex with three different tracks, concessions and covered viewing areas that’s open for business starting May 5?

33 MotoSports Park is located in Northern Michigan and looks to be well on its way to being one of the best facilities in the country that caters to ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and dirt bikes. Even more impressive is that it has all been constructed since October of 2011! This includes the design of three unique tracks, developing jumps, building the concession and registration facility with a full patio, fencing in infield and staging areas, and leveling, lime stoning and rolling out the parking area. Wow!

ATV race fans in North Carolina should be happy to know that a new race course will be unveiled this month in Kinston, N.C. on the Lenoir Country Fairgrounds.

The news comes a year after a motocross track for dirt bikes debuted at the facility. The motocross track has a success and four races have been held their since it opened with two more scheduled to take place.

Adding a track for ATV riders was the next logical step.

“We’ve modified the existing demolition derby ring to accommodate demolition derbies, ATV racing, tractor pulls; we’re trying to make a multi-function area,” Brian Hussey of the Fair Association told ENCToday.com. “Most of the dirt was already there; we just moved it around and re-shaped it.”
