New track added to tracks page
We’ve added a new track to our track page, Off Road Adventures in Victoria, TX. If you haven’t ever been there you can check out the track by looking at the aerial shot of the track. I still need info on the length of the fast track lanes and also the mud bog lanes if anyone has it.
Muds4Racing.com’s New Mission
Muds4racing.com has served as Coryell Motorsports Park’s website for several years now and with the recent closing of the track I didn’t want to just shut it down so I began brainstorming what to do with it. I’ve decided to dedicate this website to serving as a hub for all mud racers to hang out, no matter which track you call home. This site will host a listing of all tracks in the US, mud racing news, mud racing forum and general info on mud racing for people interested in the sport. I’m hoping that in doing this we strengthen the sport as well as the tracks that are still open. I’ve already added listings for several tracks here in Texas and plan to add more tracks one state at a time until I have all of them listed. I hope everyone will stick around and keep us on your radar of sites to check out. On my end I’ll be promoting the site to other tracks and people doing 4X4 related searches in those areas to hopefully bring in some new faces in the forum and hopefully new trucks on the tracks. On another note any track that does not currently have their own forum is welcome to get with me and I can setup their own section for their track to use in our forums.
CMP Closed Permanently (Flat, TX)
It is very unfortunate to announce that Coryell Motorsports Park is closing. We are not sure at this time if someone else will be trying to reopen the track or not. Dremond doesn’t have any current plans to open another track but don’t count us out all together. At the very least we’ll be at the Jingle Bell Drag at County Line Mud Drags letting Allen race the ATV and you never know, we might even throw together another clunker.
