2025 Season Opener – Now Saturday April 19th – Reno Raceway – Marietta, OH – Presented by: Big Hometown Motorsports

Tim W | 29 March 2025 | 2025 Events | |

Now on *Saturday* April 19th we will be kicking off our 1st round of racing for the 2025 race season at “Reno Raceway” located just outside of Marietta, OH! The positive side of a Saturday race is we all don’t have to rush home to get ready to go to work/school on Monday! So with a little extra time after our regular jammed packed Peewee/Youth & Adult division racing program ends we are going to bring you guys some additional racing action by also having the 1st round of our 5 Round Mini Series for the Pit Bike “XC Challenge Race” & Moto Moms/Girls! Click here for more info on these 2 special events!

We will also be having the Stacyc races at approx. 4:00pm near the starting line.

Reno Raceway is full of racing history as many local XC & MX races have been held on this property over the past several decades (47 years to be exact!). This track has a great mixture of technical and open faster paced trails, mx section as well as a rocky optional hill climb & the famous “Duvall Hill” which is a crowd favorite! Recently Henry the landowner has purchased a neighboring plot of land which we plan to put a brand new single track section in for the youth & adult racers to enjoy! We have also done quite a bit of trail maintenance after last seasons final round and we have come up with a new layout for racers of all skill levels to enjoy for this season opener event!

Thanks to our event title sponsor Big Hometown Motorsports we have some extra prizes for this event! Everyone that signs up for this event will receive a 10% off certificate & all holeshot winners will receive a 20% off discount certificates good to spend on parts & accessories at Big Hometown Motorsports! We can’t thank these guys enough for stepping up and helping provide all these extra prizes for their “Big Hometown” event! They will be onsite with their trailer with some accessories along with some new bikes on display. So make sure you stop by to check them out and thank them for helping provide us with a better place to race!

Also in case you haven’t seen it yet, we have reopened our online number reservation system again. So if you haven’t already reserved your number get it done ASAP! After the reservation system is closed on Wednesday April 16th at midnight, the numbers will be issued on a “first come, first serve basis” on each race day. Just as a reminder this does not “pre-register” you for a event, you still have to come to the yellow registration trailer with your helmet, signup forms and payment. Even if you dont care what number you are assigned, please still go thru the process as this will greatly help speed up the signup process on our opening race day! Click here for directions on how to reserve yours!

The parking area at this facility has easy off the road access and there is plenty of room to bring in your toy haulers or campers in to make it a full weekend family adventure with us (reminder gates close at 11pm Fri eve so please plan accordingly) As always there is no extra charge for primitive camping and you all are more than welcome to stay Saturday evening also. See the bottom of this page for track address & special directions if you have a 5th wheel or low clearance RV or Enclosed Trailer.

Brutus And Company will be onsite serving up their delicious BBQ for all our racers & fans!

Riders will be required to have a transponder which is used to record your laps and laps times when you come through the finish area. Our transponders are the stick on type which go on the back side of your helmet. The transponders are a one time cost of $10.00, sorry we cant rent them out per race. It will be a one time purchase and as long as you don’t damage it, lose it or switch helmets. If you already have one of these stick on style transponders from any other race series, you are good to go as long as it passes the reader test at registration. Also there is no such thing as a “annual renewal/programming fee” with us!
