Well I bought a track, Arkansaw Cycle Park in Arkansaw, WI. Please check out my facebook page, arkansaw cycle park. https://www.facebook.com/arkansawmx/

We just had our first D16 Points Race, it went great despite the rainy conditions. We have open practice Wed through Sunday weather permitting, 1 gb per second wifi, a free bike wash, garbage service and more just $35 day unlimited access to Track and Trails.

We water, face jumps and rip Saturdays and Sundays, please share the word, thanks!

Mike

I would also like to thank our sponsors Bobs Cycle Supply, Moon Motorsports and KB5 Suspension, without their help the track wouldnt be here, thanks everybody.

Awesome to see this open back up to the public and hosting district races again. Looks like you’re doing a great job!

I haven’t been there since Randy still owned it but I may have to change that now!

Looks like the classic Hollister Hills "Dream on" poster.

Good luck with the track, Weed Man!

Man, that looks epic... If you end up buying another one in the Seattle area, please let me know!!

In all seriousness congrats and best of luck. Although by the looks of it you won’t need it. Anyone with a bike within 5hrs of there should be salivating right now...

It’s always been open to the public and had races. Randy has owned it up until he sold it to Mike this year.

Thank you
Very welcome! Already started planning for a trip to Spring Creek for next year as a vacation, so while we are up north we think swinging by your place for a day or so would fit in perfect. Granted, it's a year out, but those pics were enough to convince us. Place looks like a dream, hope you got some good trails for our dualsport!

I thought it switched owners and was a private/yearly membership only track for a while? Guess I was mistaken! Haven’t been there since probably 2010 but looks like it’s in good hands regardless. Always was a fun track and doesn’t look like much has changed!

I remember accidentally going straight instead of turning right before that uphill step up section was worked in and hitting the trees. I remember another guy doing the same thing and getting air lifted out so I was pretty pumped to see them clear those trees and add that section.

I am sure you'll have a million bucks soon enough, if you started with 2. Silly

J/K good luck, track looks awesome.

Congrats!

Who are you? I grew up in CF and spun a few laps at Arkansaw back when it was just getting off the ground.

I apologize for telling the truth as I've experienced it. As I said, I hope I'm completely wrong and he makes a fortune and lives happily ever after. Not much would make me happier.

Track looks great and congrats on pulling the trigger. I have always dreamed of having a full blown facility with a few tracks and holding races. Good luck and enjoy!

Never say never! I know nothing about your situation and I should have stated so in my first post. You might be the only track around, whereas where I live there's 8 within 75 miles. 7 actually as WW is no longer open to the public. I wish y'all great success. From what I saw it's a really nice facility. Go for it!

Run a GP “Jday” style race again like Arkansaw held in 2015 with the two 30min motos and the woods/Moto loop.

That race was so much fun.
