For the 2008 Nightcross season we are adding a new expert program with a $500 purse. The program will consist of their practice at 7:00 pm and a three moto format with the motos at 8:15, 9:15, and 10:15. The guaranteed payout for the overall will be $250 for first, $150 for second, $75 for third, and $25 for fourth place. The cost for the expert sign up will be $30

Any questions can be emailed to info@twistervalley.com

We have made several changes to our Tuesday night practice/fun days.

Jason Fox from Fox Powersports in Herkimer will be giving motocross lessons to anyone interested. They will be approximately 20 minutes long so the riders will still have plenty of time to ride. He will have several different topics such as cornering, starts, jumping, practice drills, etc.

Also on Tuesday nights, Sal Netti, father of Daniel Netti #1 CNYMRA youth rider, will be available to help anyone with bike set up. This includes suspension set up and bike maintenance.

Fred Mang, track owner, will be available to help quad riders with racing techniques. He will also assist riders in obtaining sponsorships from motocross companies. We will also have Heidi Dettmer from Table Top Vending with a full menu.

The much anticipated trail will be done by April 27th. This will give everyone a chance to ride through the woods instead of the three tracks. We will open every Tuesday evening from April 8 to October 21 from 4:30 to 8:30. The cost remains $20 per rider and spectators are free. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied be parent or legal guardian (check the website for the official form) that remains at the track the entire time.

Remember, you do not have to be a racer to enjoy the facility at Twister Valley. If you have never been there, come check it out and have some fun! For more information log onto www.twistervalley.com.

This year we are looking to make several changes to all of our tracks and we would like your input. We would like you to design any change you would like to see. Please include where you want the changes (on what track) and what you want done including the dimensions (65 foot step up), etc. All submissions will be kept on file and taken into consideration throughout the year. If your design is chosen, we will have you be the test rider when it is finished. A sign will be hung next to the change giving you credit and the specifics of the change. You will also receive two practice passes or gate passes.
There is no deadline because we will be looking for ideas throughout the year. You can give us your ideas at the track or mail them to us at 7721 St Hwy 5-s Fort Plain NY 13339. The first change we would like to make is to the holeshot lane. Start Thinking!!!

Every Saturday in April we will be having a work day to open the track for the season. We are looking for volunteers to help clear a trail through the woods and hang signs for the trail. We also need to finish the spectator fencing for the motocross track. We would appreciate anyone that could bring chainsaws and/or utility quads. If you are unable to help on Saturdays, but are still interested, please call Fred at 518-441-7299 or email me at fred@twistervalley.com.
