2 moto type format. Grass track, moto track, endurocross track atleast an hour or more per moto if I remember correctly.

The enduro track is nothing like the one here in Calgary. It is meant to be very doable by all the adult classes.
The moto's are one hour cut off. The grass track will be backwards this year with some new sections. The moto track has also been reversed, and reworked to actually give it some flow.

The endurocross portion looks reversed too.
Anyone been to the track on a regular day? Is it open during the week and weekends to the public?

Re: Corner Grass EX/HS June 11/12
1st Lap of moto 2. 50s class.
Things I learned at this race.
1. Just cause I'm old doesn't mean I can take micro naps on the grass track or mx track.
2. Over the years of racing in the bush I have developed a very efficient riding style to conserve energy over 4 hrs... this method does not work at Brooks Corner grass H/S!
3. Square edge bumps coming out of a turn are a PIA! If you sit down and wheelie out of a turn, the rear keeps traction and drive.
4. I'm old and out of shape.
5. I'm afraid to jump. (The wind was really strong this moto, you can hear it howling on the gopro as I rolled the tabletops.
Excellent race, and a ton of fun. Cycleworks Calgary ktm 250xcf with Kreft suspension was way way better than the old fart riding it!!!

Great work Josh!
Smooth riding 37. That wind was brutal. I almost yarded myself a half-dozen times trying to jump stuff on the MX track. Couldn't resist since I thought that was going to be my unfair advantage for the race.
