Rd#1 Sunday April 10th @ King Knob Motorsports Park in Philippi WV *Track Update*
On Sunday April 10th we will be throwing the green flag for our first event of the 2016 race season at King Knob Motorsports Park located near Philippi, WV! This is our 2nd year at this facility for our series and it is an awesome place to kick off another great season of racing! 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 no matter what the weather conditions are 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 primitive camping.
Track Update:
We have been working hard on our new layout for this event while trying to keep it high and dry and by taking into consideration that it is an early spring race which there is always a possibility of the conditions being on the wet side. For the Adult Bike & Quad and UTV divisions, we have come up with a approx. 6.5 mile loop that should be easy to navigate no matter your skill level or no matter what the conditions are on race day. If mother nature decides to work in our favor by providing some drier conditions we have around a 8.5 – 9 mile loop in the works with some more technical sections in it. For our youth divisions, we have a approx. 2.5 – 3 mile loop planned while the peewee divisions will have a little over a mile taking them around the majority of the parking and pit areas. One great benefit of this facility is it always seems to be windy and it does dry up very quick! So if you have a sense of adventure and your not afraid to get a little mud on your tires, load up your race machine, pack some warm clothes and come on out and join us for a great day of racing as we kick off the 2016 WEXCR Season!
**ALL KING KNOB TRAILS WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC THE ENTIRE WEEKEND OF OUR EVENT**

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!
