Exactly fast smooth 5 th gear pinned with a short motocross track, Enduro cross with a creek jump optional gravel roads, soccer fields, golf course And the farmers even donate part of their corn field. Tons of fun for the whole family for years Drexel has been a blast my choice for race of the year. Gear em up anyone have a speed trap or radar gun.

Is Perry Kegan the promoter of this race ? He sure puts on a great event. Didn't no they put a moto X course in this year. SWEET.

The descriptions of the track are accurate. The high speed turn around the soccer field was taken out, but we were able to add a long grass track section (lots of change in direction). Watch the big rollers, they are deceiving. new hard line at spillway climb. Total length of track 7.5 miles give or take.
This race is promoted by the local lions club, with the help of a few local racers.

..............Thanks Super Dave.

Chuck and his crew have really stepped it up the last couple of years and have made this event even bigger and better!

There aren't many towns like Drexel MO where the community welcomes this type of event in their city park and farm fields on the birthday of the USA!!!

Make sure and stop by the LETKO RACE TEAM and take a look at the 2014 KTMs.

If it were not for you PK this event would not have ever happened. Your the only nut that could come up with such a crazy idea then sell the city on it.

Its a one of a kind race for sure.

Word is ………….. the start will be GP style. Run to your machine (dead engine)….push a button or kick and GO!

Those of you without side stands you may need to start recruiting someone to hold your machine at the start……

....and no you won’t have to run that far…..20’ or so.
