A few years ago I raced mx bikes. We usually payed like 6 dollars a person to get in to the track then like 20 dollars to race. It may be different for quads. If anyone is ever in texas there is a real good mx track in tyler texas.It's called Swan Motocross Park.They have a few quad classes.Or you can go practice out there all day for $5.ok later

Since it is a National race, it is going to cost about 2 times as much as a local race. I believe that the gate entry is $15 per day and the race entry fee is about $30.

GNC's are starting to get real expensive. Pre entry is 30, but its too late for that now. The day of the race it will be 40 for Amatuer 85 for Pro-am and 100 for Pro.

Pit passes vary for each event usually 30 to 40.

If they have Friday practice that'll cost you another 10 bucks and possibly even more for your pit pass. If your staying at the track some places make you pay to camp.

Good luck

ok...it cost $10 for one day at Macon and it was a blast! Their is no cost for pit passes at the GNC events....everyone parks in and around the pits. All the pros were real friendly and cool, and Mark Baldwin is one of the most helpful people i've ever met. He was answering anyones ?'s weather they had any of his stuff or not. They ran all the pro's in one heat race and Travis Spader Smoked everyone. Doug Gust finished a distance 2nd. I don't know what happend in the main today which is more important, but if Spader rides like he did Saturday he'll smoke them all again. I was walking around the pits and Tim Farr was with Mark Baldwin and i guess his trainer or doctor and it looked as though he cracked or broke his hand. It was all black and blue and swollen, he still finished 4th though. Anyone that knows what happend Sunday Please post it.

The race was suppose to be a paridise park, but because of all the heavy rain during the first of the week they couldn't get the track in shape (they had a gncc there last weekend). On thursday they decided to move it to Donny Banks new secondary track. The track was kind of sandy in places and hardpack, and the facillitys at the track were incomplete. It sat on a hill which the track utillized very well. There were lots of doubles and singles, 1 triple and a double followed by a single at the top of the hill that some of the pros were tripling (it was huge at least 80' and at one point they had to be 35' off the ground). Everyone says the the main track has a log more jumps and more bigger jumps and of couse nice facillitys. To bad it rained, maybe they'll come back to Macon next year, or maybe come over to Montgomery, AL to Monster moutain raceway! Still looking for someone to post Sundays results!
