COURSE DESCRIPTION
Although the course is subject to change each evening,
expect a fast early season course with a few technical
sections. There are typically two barrier sections each lap
and plenty of opportunities to practice your cornering
skills. There will be variety with a new course each week
but all races will feature the signature off camber turns in
the tree-filled section.
VENUE
The course, beer garden, registration, and first aid are
located on the infield of the race track. You can reach the
raceway by bicycle (always the preferred method) or via
the MAX yellow line. Follow signs to motocross course. If
you must drive, there is parking on the outside of the
course and please consider carpooling, Please be
cautious and aware that other cyclists will be present.
RESULTS
Results and standings can be found on the OBRA site
