Course description: At Gibson Ranch the racing begins with a pavement sprint before turning into the grass, keeping your speed up on a slight downhill into the valley before climbing up the other side. You'll wind through the oaks coming back, tearing through the tall grass on downhill turns with a few more climbs in between. The ground becomes firm as the course ventures out onto the old horse racing track and the speed will come easy. The first wooden bridge is the gateway to the most challenging section of the course, with some steep climbs that will be run-ups for some and plenty of off camber pitches to challenge your handling skills. After snaking through the tree "tunnel" and over the second wooden bridge the course opens back up again and heads out around Gibson Lake where your tires may find some mud on occasion. Once you make it back to the main venue you can race your competition to the line on a long pavement straightaway.

The series championship will use your six best races out of the eight race series. Racers must start at least five races to be eligible for the series podium.

You will be issued a reusable RFID chip for the entire season. A $20 deposit will be added to your first race, and is fully refundable when you return the chip at the end of the season.
