Some have heard me talk about the Motocross Track Locator I have been working on. I have even mentioned it here on SRR.com. But what I haven’t done is explain to the wonderful readers of SRR what the locator does for people.
Mainly, the locator is going to allow dirt riders (MX, Trails, SX, & ATV) to find tracks within a given distance to a given zip code. For instance, I live in 78664. I can use this zip code to perform a search for tracks within 10, 25,50,100,250 miles. The closest track to me is Austin-Del Valle MX Park at 25 miles.
Another use would be for riders planning a vacation. If anyone out there is like myself, I want to take a vacation that includes hitting up as many different riding spots as possible. My destination of choice would be California. So assuming I know where in California I am going to be, I could plugin the zip code or city and find the closest tracks. Man! I can’t wait to hit up Cali for some riding.
I hope that is a clear explanation of it.
Moving on, I think it’s fair to say that the Motocross Track Locator is finished. We currently have over a 120 track listed from around the U.S. These are all ones that we have hunted down and manually entered. I’m sure there are a ton of tracks that are not listed. Unfortunately, many tracks websites don’t list the physical address of the track, just a dinky map that is very useless for people that don’t know the area.
Alev and I will continue to add tracks that we find. We are hoping that track owners will find the tool and realize how useful it will be for them and riders.
If any track owners happen upon this site and would like their track added to the locator please send an email with the details (name, physical address, website, phone #, and anything else you can think of) of the track to locator@mxconnection.net.
Peace Out.
