October 10, 2008
MINNEAPOLIS (September 30, 2008): The first of its kind motorsports park in the Twin Cities has broke ground and is set to go green December 18, 2008. Located in Elk River, Minnesota adjacent to Highway 169 on the outskirts of the Twin City metro area, the Elk River Extreme Motor Park (ERX) will offer snocross, motocross and more to starved motorsports enthusiasts throughout the Midwest.

Located on 14-acres of rolling terrain, ERX Motor Park will feature year-round action with a focus on grass roots racing, giving first timers and recreational enthusiasts a chance to hone their skills and more importantly to simply have fun with friends and family. Park designers are taking all levels of experience and all forms of racing including snowmobiles, motorcycles and ATV¹s into consideration as they design the track into the varying elevations that encompass the park.
“The idea behind ERX is to create a motor park where amateur riders can come out and try racing in a nonthreatening environment,” said Chris Carlson, co-owner of ERX. “While we’ll have the ability to adapt the track for professional level racing, we want to create an environment where everyday trail riders, clubs or organizations can come out and enjoy a day or evening of fun with their families.” To do so, the ownership team of ERX will keep entry fees low, track time abundant and offer something for everyone.
During the week starting November 15, ERX will offer open snocross practice on a professionally designed and built track, and the same will hold true during the summer months, when open motocross practice will be available.
