From Winnipeg: The track is about an hour and 15 minutes from Winnipeg. Take the Transcanada Highway to MB-12S. The track is about 25 minutes South of Steinbach (58km from the MB-12S exit). The turnoff is EXACTLY 4km past the green “ZHODA” sign. Turn right onto Franko Road (there are a few green electrical boxes on your left) and drive 3.3km. The track will be on your left. You cannot see the track from the road but you can see a big, white shop. We will try to have some kind of markers out on practice days on MB-12S and Franko Road.
From The United States (I-29 border crossing): The track is about 1.5 hours from Pembina, North Dakota. From the border drive about 9.5 Miles on MB-75N (I-29) and then take the MB-201E exit towards Letellier and turn right onto MB-201E. Drive about 35 Miles on MB-201E and turn left onto MB-302N. Drive about 10.7 Miles on MB-302N and turn right onto MB-12S. Drive about 2.4 Miles on MB-12S and then turn right onto Franko Road (there are a few green electrical boxes on your left). Drive about 2.1 Miles on Franko Road and the track will be on your left. You cannot see the track from the road but you can see a big, white shop.
Track Type: The track is a very loamy or sandy type of soil. It holds moisture very well. There has yet to be a rock or stone found on the property. The track is technical and it forces you to slow down; which is great for practice! There are some big jumps and some small jumps, a few big berm corners, some flat corners, a big roller section, a very sandy section, some single jumps, a few doubles, and lots of off-camber corners.
The sport of motocross is inherently dangerous, while there are great rewards there also lies great risks. We encourage our staff, volunteers, riders, racers and families to educate themselves on riding techniques and racing etiquette (ie. no contact) through our sanctioned clinics and to become familiar with our rulebook so that we can all enjoy our sport as safely as possible.
