Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn's Ranch only takes one week, but that one week will create a lifetime of memories for those who attend. From the moment you leave your driveway, to pulling through the front gates of the facility, all the way down to your last moto and the closing ceremonies, you’ll feel a certain magic that follows every step of racing at the Ranch.
This is the oldest race on the ATV national circuit, and it draws the most riders. And yes, the property is owned by the world-famous Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn. If she's not on tour somewhere, she may even come over and say 'Hi' to the racers! The soil is sandy with a sawdust additive (that explains the smell). You must be in shape for this one - the heat and humidity indigenous to this area can sap your strength. Drink water all week to prepare.
