The 1/4 mile track, though known worldwide, is currently one of the wider and faster tracks on the NHRA Mello Yello Circuit. It also has the reputation of having great air (Elevation: 20' above sea-level) and traction that consistantly produce some of the sports quickest and fastest elapse times (ET's) and speeds in all of NHRA's categories. Each year, several NHRA national records are broken here during the NHRA national and divisional events that are held annually during the months of June and September respectively.
Motocross
The riding surfaces on the practice motocross tracks are mostly soft loam, which is known to be one of the best surface for a nice ride, and are slightly angled to allow for drainage. The tracks are also regularly maintained to keep the jump faces, bowls, and whoops from rutting and cupping out. The tracks provide both good length straight paths for speed as well as challenging obstacles like off cambers, banks, ledges, ditches, and more.

Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or events:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
