Freelin MX

Freelin MX sits on Cargill Road near Marlette in the Thumb region of Michigan. The directory MX Track Guide lists the main track at roughly 1.75 miles, a 40-rider starting gate and an underground irrigation system - so the surface can be kept damp even through dry weeks. The ground there is described as varying from sand through loam to clay. The terrain is rated as somewhat flat and the obstacles are mostly man-made rather than natural; the layout is described as classic outdoor motocross with a wide variety of obstacles. Alongside the big track there is a peewee area, both practice and racing take place, and the fee given is 20 dollars. For tyre choice the directory recommends an intermediate to soft compound. Practice times and opening days are not publicly documented. Where the sand share is high, the rear demands the most attention: it works continuously, and damping that returns too fast makes it pogo over the chop instead of absorbing it. That is exactly what sits at the top of our cause list - slow the rear rebound by a few clicks before you run your first full lap.
