MEGATRXS...Mendota, Il

My son n I go there
When it’s cold out it’s cold inside and very fumey
It’s a great place for 65-85 n a place to ride for bigger bikes but it’s tight n from what I’m told very crowded on weekends

Never rode a moto bike there but I did an indoor trials event there last year.

I ride there often to keep in moto shape over the winter. I was just there on Thursday and I like the place! The track is smaller and the jumps are easy/ tame. They have nets in the critical corners for safety. The fume extraction is good and you don't leave the facility smelling like exhaust fumes. The pit area is separate from the track area and warm/ fume free. Safety seems to be a main concern of the owners and when you take into account the size of indoor tracks.....I don't disagree with this. It is winter/ indoor riding. If you expect a national track you will be unhappy. If you accept that we are lucky to be able to ride in the winter...you will enjoy it. It is what you make of it. I would recommend this place and think it's well done!

Little small for big bikes but whatcha gonna do in winter? Go there, always improving and run by the finest people and finest help in the sport!

We own it and we have been working on it now 3 years. it's going to take many more as this place is /has been a "fixer upper. 229,000 sq ft building with an old roof and many other things that have been worked on since we bought it.

this is the third track layout which seems to much more to riders liking. We have 8 more large industrial fans to add, we monitor CO in all parts of the building (7 sections actually) we groom it every ride, and on busy days we do it twice per day on weekend days.

here is a little history of the place, there are 4 videos and one more being made https://youtu.be/Q0qBOZpUsaI?list=PLrTE-RTNO7xpUDq5cTdNFucaZWMy4R61i

there are 22 videos so far of the place here, and many more to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ab3JC-Zu2c&list=PLrTE-RTNO7xpUDq5cTdNF…

we will add another track,improve another pit area, and we just finished up our cameras and yellow light safety lights so we monitor all parts of the track with that process.

it's not for everyone, but the riders that do return they do so often and it's been hard to keep up.


LOL it gives us something to do in the winter, Fox Valley Off Road and Megacross Shootout Series covers the nice weather times.....

I have ridden there 3 or 4 times this year and the track is super fun. The track is well prepped, and the pits are heated. The track does get a little cold. It's perfect for just trying to keep your riding in check so you don't lose anything over the winter. I am looking to go maybe 2 more times this year.

I didn't see it or did i answer it already?

Awesome people running it. It's a nice little track to knock off the rust. Its small very tight and super simple. The track being simple will cause you to keep pushing to go a little harder or deeper in to the turns and get on the gas sooner. You will work alot on being hard on the gas then hard on the brakes. It will shock your forarms. As someone said great for 85 cc and under riders and beginners/novice riders. 125 and 250f are the bike of choice for big bikes. 125s are a lot of fun if you have one.
Pits are nice, fumes aren't horrible and not to cold out on the track.

I'm hoping wardy and the crew can use about 25 ft further back and maybe another 10-15ft to the right and make some nice proper night track style lanes. Also kick the difficulty of the track up just a click maybe a couple nice jumps or a legit rhythm section and whoop section. That added to whats already there would be awesome.

Wardy im more than happy to gift some shovel work and diesel money to help make it happen! Might even be able to help with some added dirt.

done

thank E-man. we will work on this project a long time.
