Of the places you ride or have knowledge of, what would you estimate attracts the biggest piece of the pie? This is not a survey format since percentages will likely be involved and the feedback is as interesting as the answer. Break down the types available to you if possible. This can include racing and practice or other events. What brings the crowd?
This is not about what you prefer, or Old Dudes vs. Kids. This is about Dirt Bike parks as a business, what priorities should land/track owners focus on? Where to best invest with land, time and money for return of investment?
Potential Types of Tracks:
National Style Hard MX
SX
Night tracks
Freestyle
Vet
Mini or beginner
Single track Trails
Dual track trails
Grass Track
Scrambles
Endurocross
Hard Enduro
Enduro
Desert
GP
Hillclimb
Trials
Etc.

40% MX spread among 7 day and night tracks Hard MX style. 100-400 riders.
25% Scrambles (Races only) 200-250 riders. 1 series Torcs.
25% Enduro (Races only) 200-300 riders. 1 series. Many riders also Scramble. TSCEC
8% Vet MX 100-400 riders, 2 tracks
2% mini 3 tracks
The question is where is there growth opportunity, and where is the market saturated?
There are a couple of tracks that run regularly (Calhoun, Scrubndirt; there may be others but I’m not in the game anymore). Otherwise, MX is gone. And it’s just f’ing sad.
Hare scrambles is really picking up. East coast, playing in the woods makes a ton of sense, great trails within a mile!
new england rite now
Pit Row
The format changes. They may run 1 moto, 2 motos, or 4 motos. Olympic scoring.
Tony Larusso used to have a track here open to the public but I believe that closed not too long ago, and we had an indoor track for a few years until the roof collapsed.
Long story long, it's tough to say what really draws what in. I would say its mostly trail riding and sketchy illegal tracks.
