Trail Overview

A single-lane track featuring a steep incline/decline with an elevation change of approximately 30 feet and a pitch close to 30 degrees. The trail offers some fun technical obstacles, including ledges that will test drivers' control and handling. As you climb or descend, the terrain becomes more challenging due to the loose gravel that can make traction difficult, especially during or after rain. Drivers should approach these sections with caution, particularly on the steeper portions where loose gravel could cause slippage. This trail is perfect for experienced drivers looking for a challenge, with natural features like ledges and steep grades that provide both excitement and difficulty.
