    Track is Opening on Good Friday!!

    The word is out — Gopher Dunes is opening this Friday!!!!

     

    We are excited to announce that the Dunes will be opening for practice riding (BIG track & pee-wee track only….trails remain closed) on Good Friday, March 29. We’ll remain open all Easter Weekend from 11am to 6pm and on Easter Monday from 11am to 5pm. The guys have been working hard, draining water and ripping up ground frost and have gotten things looking pretty decent for our enthusiastic riders to come out and hit the dirt in 2013!!  

     

     

     

    For upcoming Spring Event details, please visit www.gopherdunes.com

     

    And I don’t think we can remind our young riders under 18 often enough, that you MUST complete the Parental Consent & Minor Waiver Release forms and PLEASE DO THIS at home before coming out for your first ride at Gopher Dunes in 2013.  Details and downloads can be found on our website.  If you don’t bring them with you, you’ll be sent to the ‘slow line’ and if both your parents aren’t along, you won’t be riding!  These must be done once per year.

     

     

     

    For those wishing to race at the CMRC ANQ Opener at Gopher Dunes on April 14; you will need to purchase your transponder BEFORE the event!  This is for all racers on the BIG track only!  Once purchased you will need to get them charged and activated.  Gopher Dunes will have a very limited supply available at their Pro Shop this weekend at a cost of $130. 

     

     

     

    Wishing everyone a peaceful and joy-filled Easter weekend & with any luck the bunny might even come around to see us at the track :-)

    Thor Riders Collect Four Wins From Canada to the States

    March 25th, 2013

    It was another big race weekend for the Thor MX riders as Ryan Villopoto, Marvin Musquin, Kurt Caselli, and Taylor Robert all claimed victories at their respective races.


    Ryan Villopoto

     

    Starting in Toronto, Canada, the Monster Energy Supercross made its lone international stop to the Rogers Centre. Villopoto once again took first in the 450SX class, making it his fourth win in a row and seventh win of the season. His lead atop the standings was increased to 12 points with five rounds remaining.

    In the 250SX class, Thor’s Marvin Musquin won his third in a row, making him the only rider since 2008 to collect his first three career wins consecutively. His win was in wire-to-wire fashion after overcoming a crash during practice session. The win moves Thor’s Musquin to just six points back of the leader in the 250SX Eastern Regional standings.

    Thor’s Cole Thompson, born in Canada, had his best finish of the season while racing in his native land, coming across the finish line in sixth. Justin Hill had a good night going, but a crash after the first turn in the main event kept him from returning to the race.

    At the AMA National Hare and Hound in Murphy, Idaho, Thor’s Kurt Caselli won for the first time this season, moving him up to an impressive fourth in points after going scoreless at the first round. Ivan Ramirez finished in eighth place.

    Adding another win to the weekend total was Thor’s Taylor Robert, who took the victory in the Pro class at the WORCS race in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. Robert not only had the fastest lap during the two-hour race, but finished more than two minutes ahead of second place.

    At the AMA National Enduro race in Blackwell, Texas, Thor’s Grant Baylor finished a season-best fifth overall. Teammate Charlie Mullins ended up 11th overall after an issue during the third test pushed him out of contention for the win. Despite the tough finish, he never gave up and was able to maintain the championship lead where he sits six points ahead of second.
