Wraith-There isn't an official site for Merwin. If you do a search, it shows the old owner's email and phone, so don't use it. The official name of the place is Midwest Extreme Park, located in Merwin, MO. RJ Wohlburg is the owner, cell # 816-456-7223. If you call him, tell him Louis sent you. The open practice days for the track/trails are Thur-Sun on non-race weekends. There is only a harescramble there about twice a year, so that isn't a big issue. (There is one next Sunday, the 28th, however). The trails will be open next Saturday, the day before the scramble. There isn't an MX race until September because RJ also owns Kingsville, MO's "Challenge Trax" and he runs all the county fair races, so Merwin really only sees MX in the Spring and Fall, with a few thrown in throughout the summer. On MX weekends, the trails are open, but the parking lot is really crowded and you kinda have to know your way around as some of the trails spit you out onto the MX track. That would be bad during an MX race!
There is a website that shows all of the coming week's MX races, and occasionally a harescramble for the local tracks, and some of the farther away ones. The site is
www.hadenmx.com/ . Just note the actuall name of Merwin (Midwest Extreme Park), since that is how they are listed. You can also click the link to Email RJ if you have any questions. He usually answers emails within a day. Some weeks he is very busy and sometimes he camps at one of the tracks for the week of the race if he is prepping. Feel free to call him, or email him or me if you have any questions.
If you are going next Saturday, let me know and a few of us will meet you there, in my new truck, I hope! :)
