In case you missed our post a week or so ago, we are done racing and riding here at Copperhead. We will be shutting down this page after we get some of the items from the track sold. Tmxa has released their 2025 schedule along with a new series the American Bluegrass championship. Lots of good tracks involved with both of them and lots of racing going on all year long.

I have five sets of steel frame wooden seat bleachers. The boards are pressure-treated lumber and have been replaced each year as needed. These bleachers were just used this summer. Four of the sets are 16 foot long and one of the sets with the railing around the top is 14 foot long. I will take $900 each or buy all five sets for $4000 firm located in Hopkinsville Kentucky I can load on your trailer.

This is a good watch for riders and families. I can’t think of a single race I wasn’t on the PA hollering at somebody in the pits. This is gonna be one of the many changes coming in the MX community dealing with insurance rules.Everyone is going to have to make a choice to abide by these rules whether you agree with them or not or it’s over The few companies that still offer insurance will pull out or continue to raise rates and then there will be no riding/racing at all.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone that has supported and helped at Copperhead Supercross over the last 15 years. We have had some great times and have met many good people that today that many I call true friends.

With that being said I along with my family have decided to close the track. This was not an easy decision and has weighed on my mind since the end of last season. Lots of things have changed in my life since I opened the track. The passing of my mother and grandmother since we opened brought on a lot of new responsibilities. The shop and farm are my primary work and both of these suffered from the time pulled away during the spring and fall. I will be turning 50 this year and have for the most part other than race day been a one man operation. At the age of 35 it was much easier. We have a grandbaby now and are looking to do more traveling. There were many other contributing factors to my decision including liability took on by each event and the rising cost of insurance, my health and well-being and all other things involved.

I want to thank all tracks and people that have been involved with TMXA. It takes a really good group of great people to keep it going and we have always been blessed with some of the best. I want to wish all the other tracks the best in thier future as they continue on. Please show them some love and support at upcoming races.

In my closing I would like personally thank all the riders and families. It was our honor to have such great group of people come out and support us. It was a dream I had and you all helped make it come true. Be safe and support the sport.

Anyone looking for a great reliable diesel pusher we are gonna be selling ours. I have owned it since 2017 and bought it from a three star retired Air Force general in Las Vegas that always took excellent care of it. It’s a 2003 Fleetwood discovery on a freight liner chassis with a 325 hp (pulls a car or trailer excellent,great power) caterpillar with 56,000 miles on it and two slide outs. Everything on this RV works all the awnings are in excellent condition and it has been stored inside the entire time I owned it and most of the time before that. I’m the third owner of it. We have been to Myrtle Beach twice in it drove it home from Las Vegas when I purchased it and have been to the Smoky Mountains multiple times and of course local camping in it. I would trust it to jump in right now and go anywhere optioned out very well with add-ons. Heated all power seats, day night shades, dual zone heat and a/c awning toppers and window awnings on all etc. I have all the books and manuals to the entire rv. Will have more pictures of the interior and exterior in the process of cleaning it up now. $43,000.00 clear title in hand. Reason for selling moving onto a bigger coach.

Going through emails and invoices today, I figured I would share something with the racers and riders that come to the track. If you were at the riders meetings this year you heard me talk about the increase in insurance and anything else that pretty much had to do with the races. The two pictures below are the invoices from the Ambulance and the insurance for the only two races we had this year. The total from only these two was $5676.20.  trophy cost per race averages around $1500 x 2 there’s another 3000. I usually spend around $1000 a race for the people I have to bring in to help put on the race flaggers gate workers, etc. there’s another $2000 for the two races add that 5000 into the original cost for the ambulance and insurance and you’re at $10,576.20 and that’s the bare essentials it takes to put on two races. Keep in mind this isn’t counting the yearly cost like equipment, Fuel, breakdowns, groundskeeping, water and electric bills, property taxes, which have doubled in the last two years on the track. And insurance on the property and the buildings which has also had increases. Most of these numbers have no tie to rider turnout in other words if the weather is terrible and you have a low turn out the cost is the same maybe a few hundred less on trophies but everything else remains the same. this is one reason nowadays you’ll see so many cancellations because the weather etc. from concert events to stock car races. If there’s a bad turnout, you can end up upside down really fast. This was just a little insight into things from the other side for some of you that have wondered. There are going to have to be some changes made before next year if we plan on continuing racing.

The copperhead crew wants to thank everyone that came out and supports the track. Both of our races this year had huge turnouts. The biggest 50cc gates in all classes we have ever seen since the track opened. This hopefully means the sport is growing. When I built the track 16 years ago I never dreamed it would turn into what it has and have the following it does. I grew up here on the farm and always had a place to ride so I took it for granted. We are honored to be able to provide a place for everyone to come out and have fun and enjoy. Thanks to all the help that keeps the races running smooth. Yesterday was for sure a test of dedication with the heat and everyone stick in there. Thanks again everyone.
