Marc Peters and Jeff Russell and Tim Cotter of MX Sports have been out at Ironman MX getting the final design together for the May 31-June 1 Mid-East Amateur Regional for Loretta Lynn's AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, then they will make more changes in the run-up to the August 16 Indiana MX National round of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross...

I see a little Budds Creek and a little Redbud in it.
And that is a great thing!

What are all those tall things all around the track ? they look like they could provide shade. I wish we had some of those around the tracks in Colorado. Pinch

Track looks nice. Almost a minimum of man-made stuff. But.....

Distance from San Antonio:

Crawfordsville, Indiana 1169 miles
Blountville, TN 1232 miles
Glen Helen 1310 miles
Lakewood, Colorado 934 miles


ANY Texas track 250 miles or less


Nope, still not enthused. Glad the Mid-West finally got a National.Whistling

Another year of sitting out the Outdoors and having to watch TV/computer streams/channel navigation..........Unsure

Well, if that ain't awesome? I don't know what is.

Will there be an Am. Day?

Is there room in the BTO rig for my "test-bike"?

Can I buy a vowel?

The track looks like it would be nice and fun to ride. Not to be to negative, but this looks like it will be the worst track to view as a spectator ever. Between the trees and the million banners they will put up, you are not going to see shit. Maybe I'm missing something. I can't help but think we gave up Steel City for this? To me this looks like it would be an awesome district track. I just can't see it as a National. Maybe need a broader view to see where fans, rigs and circus are going to be would change my thoughts. Either way, God bless anyone who gets run off the track dodging trees.

I can assure anyone, having stood from various angles around that place, that it's a lot better for viewing than photos allow you to believe! Most of the track sits down in, or is on the sides of a valley. You can see a lot up top, you can even see a lot down in the bottom of it.

It's a great place! I rode around what was finished back in October and actually rode the projected layout back in 2012 and even incomplete I thought it was a lot of fun.

Just a thought, but this track is only a few hours from Redbud. Is it not a similar deal that was Steel City and Highpoint? I loved the Steel City round and miss it. Edit: by the way like the way this track looks, hopefully making it there or Tennessee along with High Point.

It would be great if they had website......or even a facebook. I was thinking they had an open practice before the regional, but can't find anything about it now. Guess I could call, but does that nowadays. :-)

JB 19, there won't be an open practice before the regional, but I believe there will be practice on Friday for Regional entrants. And they do have a Facebook page now, check "Ironman Raceway" and also they have an Instagram @Ironmanmx. I know they are working on a website.

As for the comment about the trees, they aren't as close as you think from there pictures, and once all of the grass grows, this motocross will look like a city park.
