Track Layout:
Start gate is expanded metal and transitions to a concrete pad on the complete down slope of the start hill with dirt transition at the base of the hill. The 1st straight from start hill has a double and then a table jump into a long sweeping 180-berm right-hander turn 1. Out of turn 1 and into a double double combo that feeds into tight 180-berm left-hander turn 2. 3rd straight is the rhythym section with a shallow double and 2 single rollers out of the turn 2 and then a shallow table to sneak a pedal rotation in and then 4 single rollers with a broad roller at the entry to the righty 180-berm turn 3. Final straight to the finish line is a quick roller coaster ride to combo some pumpin and pedalin' through a table jump, then 2 single rollers, a double, and then finally, 2 more single rollers. Finish time.

"Riders ready, watch the lights" Its racin' time, boys. It's an enduring track design. Definitely give it a try.
