Harvest Fest 2022
You know the drill – open practice on both motocross tracks with the offroad park open to all vehicles and a lot of activities and good times to be had all weekend. For those who are wondering about the name and the logo – it’s that time of year where friends harvest their crops and bring them to share and enjoy! We also have a Maine Medical Cannabis vendor who will be showcasing their products and educating folks who are interested in learning how cannabis may benefit their life.
Take a peak at the event details below including the all new MX State Championship (MXSC) event happening Saturday afternoon before the Team Relay race. So mark your calendars and join us in our season closing event!
Offroad Park
Vehicle Access: Dirtbikes, ATV, UTV, OHV
Spread across our entire 660 acre property, our offroad park offers terrain of all difficulties for all vehicle types. From mud holes to rock crawls to single track and everything in between, we’re confident that you’ll find plenty of fun to explore.
Hilltop Track
Vehicle Access: Dirtbikes, ATV, UTV
Where it all started when we opened in 2002 – a small motocross track that was once neglected as we built our national style Sawmill MX and Offroad Park. This track has undergone major renovations in the last 5 years. We’ve reversed the direction, expanded the overall length and added more terrain, obstacles and a watering system. Our Hilltop MX track is perfect for beginners and experts alike.
Sawmill Track
Vehicle Access: Dirtbikes
We like to do it big! Sawmill is our national style motocross track built in 2005 that has been a New England favorite for many. The entire track is set on a hill making for long downhill dives to steep uphill climbs. All obstacles are built into the terrain of the hill giving riders a natural flow that feels connected to the elevation changes. Sawmill is best suited for intermediate to expert riders because its steep terrain and deep ruts.
The MX State Championship
Format
This will be a relay race format. Each competitor is required to complete 3 laps before crossing a relay point that will indicate the start of his/her teammate. The race is complete when the 3rd competitor crosses the finish line (relay point).
Team (state)
Each team will be made up of 3 riders – one A rider, one B rider and one C rider. The B and C riders will be chosen by the A rider of the team and each team must be made up of residents of the team’s state.
Strategy
The relay order will be determined by each team captain.
Remember the days of Excitebike!? Maybe that was before your time but a quick YouTube search will show you what Excitebike is all about. We’re bringing that to real life and this event will take place of the typical pitbike race we have at our events. This is a pitbike race only! No race model bikes allowed!
We’ll be extending our pitbike/kids track and will be modifying the features for this race. Once the racers cross the finish line once, the race is over. All racers will get in line and we’ll line up 5 bikes at a time behind the Hilltop gate. The gate will drop for those 5 riders and the next 5 riders will line up for the next race.
The top two racers from each race will advance to more races. Racers will keep lining up until they have lost twice and when they place 3rd, 4th or 5th for a second time, they’re eliminated from the event. We’ll keep racing until there are 2 riders left to duke it out in the finale. The finale will be a best 2 out of 3 showdown and the first racer to win two races in the finale will be crowned the Excitebike Challenge Champion!
Excitebike Challenge registration is $10 per rider. There will be two classes, 12 & under and 13 & older. Register online via the button below!
Just like last year, we’re lining up on Sawmill MX and doing a relay race with 100% payout. Teams will need to gather 3 riders to complete their team – one A rider, one B rider and one C rider. Each team will be given a bib with their team number on it for each rider.
Teams will create their own strategy on which rider goes first, second and third. The rider you pick to go first will line up for the gate drop. That rider will complete 3 laps meeting the second team rider at the relay point where the riders will need to bump fists before the second rider is able to complete their 3 laps meeting the third rider at the relay point to bump fists sending the third rider to complete their 3 laps. Once the third rider has completed their 3 laps, they will be presented with the checkered flag. The top three teams will be awarded the payout.
We’re capping the event at 10 teams so figure out your team and register online via the button below! This race is for big bikes only! Riders must have a 21″ front wheel and an 18″ or 19″ rear wheel.
