It also has a 1/3 mile stock car dirt oval which was enhanced in the middle of 2017. The world record for the greatest length traveled on a motocross track during 24 hours was set at the track. HistoryGravity Park opened in 1999 as a kart racing facility.[2] Motocross / snocross trackGravity Park USA opened in 2000.[3] It was named Gravity Park until it was renovated in 2005.[3] When it originally opened, it held snocross races in the North American winter.[4] Flat track races were also held on an on-site dirt oval for several years before its 2017 renovation.[5] The track hosted the 2005 Kraft Amateur Stadiumcross Championship; 250 drivers competed in the event.[6] The track has been used for special touring events, such as Badger State Quad Championship quad races.[7] The track has also been used for SCCA RallyCross and mud bogging.[8][9] Stock car ovalThe track has oval track at the edge of the site.[10] A front-stretch wall was built in 2012.[2] Owner Bob Schneider decided to not open a stock car track since he felt there were enough ovals operating in the area at the time.[2] Race tracks in Manitowoc and Oshkosh closed and he decided to work on the oval in 2017.[2] The oval's use was grandfathered in by the town board in May 2017.[11] New lights, concrete walls, retaining fences, and grandstands were built at the oval over the middle of 2017. The oval measures 1/3 mile around the outside.[2] A stock car "Mini-Invitational" was scheduled for the track's first stock car races on October 5, 6, and 7.[12] The races rained out and were rescheduled for a one day show on the following Saturday (October 14).[13] The day was also rained out and the inaugural stock car event was cancelled.[14] Over the winter, a Friday night weekly racing schedule of six classes was developed (modified, stock car, sport modified, grand national, street stock, and 4 cylinder).[2] The first event was scheduled for May 4, 2018 but it was rained out.[2] A non-points opening event was scheduled for the following day. Two touring series are part of the inaugural season along with an end-of-season special event weekend.[2] World recordOn September 11 to 12, 2010, motocycle racer Perry Prichard attempted to break a world record at Gravity Park. He contacted the Guinness World Records to certify the record, and the attempt was to set "the most continuous laps on a motocross bike on a motocross track by an individual in 24 hours".[15] The record attempt was a benefit for Haitians.[16] He was allowed a 5-minute break each hour to refuel, refresh, and bike repairs.[17] Guinness certified the record 426.96 km (265.3 mi) distance as the "Greatest distance on a motocross in 24 hours (individual)".[18] When asked why he did the record attempt, he replied "when I sat down to think of what I could do to raise money for Haiti, the first thoughts through my head were NOT to sell pizzas, Girl Scout cookies or anything like that, it was about, I love to ride motorcycles and how can I turn that passion into raising money?"[15] AmenitiesThe track has a sports bar and lounge, called the Killsnake Clubhouse, that is open while there is racing on the track.[19] It features a Friday night fish fry.[2] Images
