Dirt Wurx bangs out the SLC SX track just as the snow hits!

DIRT WURX USA hammers out a 16-hour SX track build at
SLC, track’s covered and it starts snowing! 

Rich Winkler, the DIRT WURX USA crew and Feld
Motorsports complete an SX track in near record time for this Saturday’s
race

MONROE,
N.Y.
(April 29, 2010) – After a marathon clean-up job to get
Seattle’s Qwest Field back into pristine order, Rich Winkler and
the DIRT WURX USA crew packed up and drove 1,000 miles straight through to Salt
Lake City and, with no sleep, built the Rice-Eccles Stadium SX track in
16-hours on Tuesday.

“The
build went flawlessly,” said Winkler. “And 16 hours is as fast as
we’ve ever built a supercross track,” adding that the clay/loam
dirt combo at Salt Lake City was ideal for the quick build.

Why
the asses-and-elbows rush? No sooner did the Feld Motor Sports crew get the
track covered with plastic than it started to snow. And more snow, with mostly
rain, is expected through the week until Saturday when forecasts says
it’s supposed to clear up for race day.

A
“team effort,” according to Winkler, contractor and Utah local Kurt
Kitchens, who’s father, Jim Kitchens built the original supercross tracks
with promoter Mike Goodwin, had the plywood laid down on the athletic field and
road base gravel put down by the time DIRT WURX USA rolled in. And Kurt
Kitchens, who’s been around supercross for nearly 40-some years, was
impressed with the effort put forth by Winkler’s team and the Feld crew.

“To
see it go up so fast, without any shortcuts, was pretty amazing,” said
Kitchens of JPD Construction, Inc.

Said
Winkler: “Yeah, I’m pretty proud of my guys. We took what
we’d normally spread out over a 50 to 60-hour work week and packed it all
into one long-assed 16-hour day. And we all pretty much hit it out of the
park.”
