Round#8 Sunday Oct 4th “Reno Raceway” Marietta, OH
On Sunday Oct 4th we will be hosting our 8th round of racing for the 2020 race season back at “Reno Raceway” located just outside of Marietta, OH! Reno Raceway is full of racing history as many local XC & MX races have been held on this property over the past several decades (42 years to be exact!). This track has a great mixture of technical and open faster paced trails as well a few rocky optional high climbs for the adult racers to test their skills! We have been very busy doing some trail maintenance, resurrecting some really old trails and bringing an old gnarly hill climb back to life for a optional “Pro Hill” for the adult bikes! Stay tuned for the new track layout mileage to be released soon…
The weather forecast looks great with the temperatures cooling down, we did receive a nice light rain shower all day on Tues which should make for track conditions to be perfect by Sunday! Henry the landowner has been busy getting the watering system all setup so we can prep the MX portion of the track to keep the dust to a minimum.
Its hard to believe but we are already to round# 8 of our season after the delayed start! Just as a reminder for those of you chasing season points we are counting the best 8 of the 10 rounds for championships! So after this round the drops will start to take place!
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 Sat eve)
As always there is no extra charge for primitive camping. See the bottom of this page for track address & directions.
Saturday night @ 6pm we will also be having another special “exhibition” event for our little up and coming future racers that have striders and the battery powered stacycs. These will be broke down into separate events one for Striders and the other for the Stacycs. The track will consist of a small flat loop around our finish area. This is not a competition event, its just for fun and to get our lil ones ready for future competition events when they can enter the peewee ranks. There is no sign up or entry fee for this event, just show up on the start line at 6pm. All riders must have a bicycle style or full face helmets in order to participate!
On top of our regular event rules, see the link below for the recommended guidelines and new procedures that we will be following in order to keep us all safe and back out onto the track this coming Sunday! Your health and safety as well as all of our helpers is very important to us, so please take a couple minutes to review the new guidelines before you head to the track this weekend!

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!
