Fantasy Moto ATV News Update
Appleton, WI (4/20/2007) – Wittenberg
Off-road Raceway will have its first open practice of
the season on Saturday, April 28th. The motocross track
will be open for sure (bikes and quads welcome) –
it is possible that the Dirt Drag strip will be available
for testing and tuning as well. We will keep you straight-line
guys informed.
Water, Wheels and Ice Extreme Sports Weekend at Nordic
Mountain on May 19th and 20th is shaping up. When
is the last time you saw Motocross, Snowboarding and
Wakeboarding all take place at the same facility?
Never? This is like a Mini Mammoth Mountain event
on steroids. We are pretty much starting from scratch
for the New Year. Not one inch of track will be the
same as 2006. The new track will be laid out on the
big hills directly in front of the ski chalet with
NO woods sections in this course. As much as we thought
the “practice in the grass” Unadilla style
was a good idea in 2006, it too is gone in favor of
the more traditional circuit our youth have come to
expect. The 2007 layout will wind directly under the
chair lift so spectators can get a “bird’s
eye view” of the action. Facilities, camping
and parking are as nice as they come!
So how do you keep snow around until May 19th? Plan
ahead, way ahead! As soon as the 2006 Nordic Mountain
event was in the books we began laying plans for 2007
with the owners of the ski hill. Everyone’s desire
is to improve track conditions and snowboarding conditions.
Last year the event was pulled off in late April and we
barely had enough snow but the ground was a bit spungy
for the MX. So we backed up the date a month to improve
on conditions for the MX track and the snow making team
at Nordic Mountain paid special attention all winter to
the run that is being used for snowboarding in MAY –
they blew over 20 FEET of snow in this one run and covered
it with tarps at the completion of the ski season.
Don’t even ask how we are going to pull off
a wakeboarding competition in the middle of a parking
lot, for that you are going to have to check out Fort
Fremont Marine’s website at www.fortfremont.com
Saturday will feature Motorcycle and ATV racing of
the Forest County Potawatomi Northern Cup Motocross
Series presented by Rock River Powersports while Sunday
will make way for the ATV only series of the Ultimate
Quad MX ChampionshipsTM presented by Janssen Motorsports.
You can also view an event flyer on the home page
of the FantasyMoto.com website.
