While at Rockhill track in Purvis, MS on Thursday night I found out about this new track. I was told that you were going to be able to ride on Sunday afternoon. If anyone knows direction and/or contacts please post. I am going to make an attempt after racing Saturday night to visit it on Sunday and ride. I will let everyone know the details when I return.

No, Kevin's track "flying W" is in Centreville, MS. This track is outside of Hattisburg, MS. He is suppose to have a grand opening in the next few weeks. He is going to cook and have a band, but not sure if track is going to be open, just trails and the existing track he has not the new one. He said at Fernwood MX that it would be in Sept, Oct. before the new track would be open.

Sounds like quadracing in Mississippi is picking up again.

There are a few guys who are in the beginning stages of an ATV Park south of Oxford, MS. It will include a MX track, TT track, Oval flat track, Drag strip, and a Mud Bog for the utility guys. They plan to get it going by January.

There is also an MX track being constructed in Columbus MS, but no word yet on whether quads will be allowed to run it. It will open next spring.

The MX track in Pontotoc, MS has seen an increase in quad entries over the last couple of months and will have more classes for next season.

The new Drag strip and Oval Track in Kilmichael, MS has received a great deal of interest in this area because there hasn't been one around locally in over 10 years.

There are over 800 acres of hard woods up for lease North of Louisville, MS that is currently in a bidding war between a hunting club and a gentleman wishing to use it to hold Hare Scramble races.

Aye, Thought I let everyone know we were not racing for the next few weeks. We will probably go practice monday and tuesday of this week, but kinda giving racing a braek.

We have been running every week end I have been home sense march 9th, we need a braek.

I have some things I need to get done and then I'll be back.

How did everyone do this week end?

Went to new track Sunday, name is "Denham Creek MX". The owner was out on Sunday preping the track, but we did not ride. It is about a 1 minute track on a downhill side. Track look demanding and challenging with a 100' table top, whoops, triple and several doubles. Dirt is mix with sand and top soil. Looks like it will get rough as racers ride. He has not gotton any rest rooms, electricty, water and parking area is small. He will let anyone ride while he is getting everything in order. The track will be racing night's so look to me as though he is several months from having a race. But will make a great track someday. Directions are easy (unlike Rock Hill I stayed lost going and coming my first trip)take Hwy 98 from I 59 or Hwy 49 and go toward Mobile, AL and it will be a sign around 11 miles from I 59 on right side of road saying Denham Creek MX Track. When you turn it about 1 mile on the left.

Hey, Mark, are there any good, legal places to ride around the coast?
I just found out about another place to ride around Amite, La (right off of I-55)
If anyone is interested send me your email address and I can forward the like and give you directions; I don't know how to do all that on this forum.

its according what knd of riding you want to do. the place i like best is in wiggins mississippi about 30 miles from te coast. it is called black creek mx. it has a 1.3 mile mx track and hundreds of miles of trails. not second and third geart rails. these are trails made by 4 wheel drive trucks and they are a blast to ride. if you like strictly trail riding there is bethal which is in desoto national forest in saucier ms. and has about 60 miles of tight trails, these are second and third gear trails. there is firetower mx practice track but it
is going through a legal battle right now to open back up. later
