Rd#3 Sunday May 8th @ The Wilderness in Salem, WV

 

On Sunday May 8th we will be throwing the green flag for our 3rd round of racing of the 2016 race season at The Wilderness Raceway located in Salem, WV! This is our 1st time holding an event at this facility although these woods are no stranger to xc racing. The Wilderness was the home to several GNCC events from 1995 thru 2001 as well as several Mid-Atlantic events till 2006. We have already spent many hours scouting the woods and bringing some life back to some old trails as well cutting in some new sections in a few areas. The track is going to have a nice “old school” woods racing feel as it is full of tighter technical trails with a good bit of elevation changes as the racers will navigate their way through the great wilderness terrain. Stay tuned for more track info to be released soon…

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 and make it a weekend family adventure, as always there is no extra charge for primitive camping.

This events title sponsor is Fly Racing/WPS and their local rep Mark Spruill will be trackside on race day with a great display of Fly Racing products. So make sure you stop by their booth and check out their awesome products and thank them for being part of our series over the past few years.

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.

Track Directions:

Unfortunately this track doesn’t have an actual address that we could get to come up on Google Maps so you will have to either enter the coordinates below into your GPS device or follow these directions below:

From US RT50 turn onto Sycamore Rd (on right if traveling east on Rt 50 or on left if traveling west on Rt 50)

Once on Sycamore Rd go 0.8 miles to top of hill and turn right onto Waterslide Rd (Co Rd 33-2) and then go 1.4 miles to bottom of hill and track entrance will be on your right. Keep your eyes open for the Red/White Fly Racing course arrows to help guide you into the track entrance.

Please drive slow and use caution on Waterslide Drive as it is a narrow and twisty road that will have 2 way traffic on it during race day!
