Round#1 Sunday April 19th at King Knob – Philippi, WV

 

WEXCR race season is almost here!! On Sunday April 19th we will be throwing the green flag for our first event at King Knob Off Road Park located near Phillipi, WV! This is a brand new stop for our series and it will be an awesome place to kick off our 2015 season! With 1300 acres of good old WV mud, rocks & mountainous terrain, there is plenty room to layout a fun and challenging course for all our Motorcycle, ATV & UTV racers to enjoy! The parking area at this facility is top notch with easy off the road access and plenty of room to bring in your toy haulers or campers and make it a weekend family adventure,as always there is no extra charge for camping.

Here are the estimates on the track lengths as well as some changes in the course arrow colors for each division this season. Adult racers will continue to follow the same Red & White Fly arrows as they tackle our approx. 11.5 mile loop full of faster paced trails & some tighter more technical areas with a couple nice up & down hills as well as running around a portion of the Enduro-cross track at this facility. Youth racers will now be following the Blue & White Fly arrows as they race their way around an approx. 4 mile loop consisting of some fun & challenging trails to help grow their skills. All of our Peewee racers will now be following the Green & White arrows as they buzz around an approx. 1.5 mile loop around the outer perimeter of the parking/pit areas. UTV Racers will also be following the Blue & White Fly arrows but you will have a little longer track than our normal shared Youth/UTV tracks. You all will love what this facility has to offer as you battle your way around an approx.  6 mile course, full of some wider open trails which should give you plenty of room to pull off some passes with ease.

For an event to be held right in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains it seemed very fitting for our event title sponsor to be Appalachian Offroad Motorcycle Company (AOMC) Make sure you show them some support be visiting their website at AOMC.mx for any of your parts & accessories needs in order to get prepared for this event. They are even offering a special “Gear up for WEXCR” 15% discount to all our riders, just visit their website, place your order and use coupon code “WEXCR” to receive your discount! Also make sure you checkout their sister company P3 Carbon and checkout their awesome lineup of carbon fiber skid plates & pipe guards which may come in handy for this event!
