MADOC, MAY 19 & 20 - SCHEDULE CHANGE

Posted 05/16/2012

The start time for the Madoc track will be 9:00 a.m. for both Sat. practice and Sunday racing. This means everything will be pushed back 1 hour - practice until 4:00 and racing to start right after practice. Sunday racing will start at 9:00 a.m., not 8:00 a.m.

Also, a reminder that no open fires, including campfires or fires in containers are allowed at the Madoc track.

See you in Madoc for a great weekend.

 

M.M.R.S. Provincial Series, Round 4, May 19, 20

Posted 05/14/2012

Round 4 of the Provincial Series goes this weekend at the Madoc track.

Practice on Sat. from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Racing starts Sat. at 3:00 for the Mini ATV's and the 50's and continues on Sunday.

This Provincial Series will be "Best of 6" - 8 races with 2 drops, which means that of the 8 races, the points for the 2 weekends with the lowest points will not count. So each racer will have 6 races and points towards the totals. If someone attends all 8 races, they will receive 25 bonus points.

There will be pro and amateur support as well as awards and prizes awarded at the end of the series.

This race will be part of the televised series so don't miss your chance to get on TV..

A big thanks to our sponsors: KTM Orange Motorsports, DMX, Smith Optics, First Place Trailers, Rockstar and Green Tractors..

Gates will open Friday at 5:00 p.m.

How to properly fit a MX helmet

Posted 01/11/2012
This video was submitted by Scott Whittington. We all have seen kids and adults at the track with improper fitting helmets. Taking a few minutes to watch this video can help educate parents and hopefully avoid a potential head injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDpaTGkgur4&feature=plcp&context=C3369791UDOEgsToPDskLK_q8vdQiGTDl6dM1e6-T0
