I usually just lurk here but had to create an account to respond to this.......It's called Wildwood MX. From what I've heard its run by the guy Joe who runs Moonraker and Brock Papi who is an amateur kid and his parents. I've raced with the kid and him and his dad are both pretty big hot heads not to mention the kid is a pretty dirty rider (purposefully cross jumped me before causing a life-threatening injury and then his dad screamed at me after) if you ask around in the industry and say that name a lot of people will have some stories about him and his dad getting into fights and arguments with people at the track. While it is cool to have another track and Joe does a great job with the dirt (moonraker is arguably one of the best private tracks in the south) it's concerning that this family is involved and I can only see problems and drama in the future for this place.

Joe builds great tracks and used to run a track in Long Island that was very successful before moving to Florida and creating Moonraker, one of the most scenic tracks I've ever seen with excellent dirt, check out the pictures below from when I went there. I'm sorry that you were injured and hope you have recovered with no lasting injuries or side effects, I don't know your exact situation but having gone through some rough injuries myself I know how hard recovery can be. In regards to the rider you mentioned, I know him pretty well personally and know that he would never intentionally cause harm to another rider no matter how intense the racing was and probably felt very bad about what happened. Not trying to start an argument or anything just wanted to clear up any misunderstanding. It's great to see new tracks being established in our sport and people putting forth the effort no matter what anyone's personal feelings are about anyone involved in the operations of the track. I wish Wildwood success and hope to be able to check it out someday.

Wildwood MX is in Louisiana

I found this http://wworp.com/ and it looks more like a Harley hangout than a MX area....IIRC, this is where Pourcel did that cross country race a couple years ago when he decided to make his comeback.

3 new tracks in one year for central FL! I heard rumors of a another track being planned in Ft. Lauderdale. Now if only the local racing scene could be as big as the practice track scene.

There's no misunderstanding. NTM102 had it right the first time. I guess the 6 month suspension the AMA levied on this kid is a misunderstanding too?

3 new tracks in one year for central FL! I heard rumors of a another track being planned in Ft. Lauderdale. Now if only the local racing scene could be as big as the practice track scene.
