Title: Motoplex Youth Racing Post by: Jeff L on December 08, 2009, 07:03:50 PM First Paul, June and I want to thank you so deeply for all you guys do for the youth and families that frequent the 'PLEX. For those of you who haven't yet entered the gates or brought your kids, you are missing the best all around (and safest) youth program offered. Paul and Matt have continually listened to the Parents and evolved the tracks and programs to where you can now camp or park in full view of the kids TT, Obstacle and MX tracks,yes the Drag Strip is a short 45 second ride away.
Speaking for the LeBlanc children they have learned sportmanship, friendship with other competitors, humility, the joy of winning and the joy of just competing when they don't win. They have learned to be better racers, to idolize Paul and Dreth (we're now in counseling for this), and to support their competitors in their endeavors on the tracks. To Hitman, TLittle and all the volunteers who selflessly give their time efforts and finances, THANK YOU!!! it is appreciated. To the teenage boy who ran even faster than a scared Dad when Jackie's A-Arm broke and she took an endo over the handlebars, I hope my children have that sense of caring through their teenage years. Now for the big kicker, the 'PLEX has offered all this at no cost to enter for anyone wanting to compete. Trophies a/o medals have always been there and everyone acknowledged for their racing. I know for us we would be happy to pay an entry fee and to see our youth program grow, and would ask some of the other 'PLEX parents to chime in and also maybe post a few youth racing pics to show the rest of the Southeast why they need to be at the 'PLEX.

Your kind words are much appreciated. We love kids at the plex, I'm amazed with the amount of safe fun the kids have at our features that the place isn't packed out with them. Title: Re: Motoplex Youth Racing Post by: sodell324 on December 08, 2009, 08:46:13 PM I would have to agree. We have been to ever track in the state and raced at all types of levels. My son, when asked, always picks the plex. He loves the tracks, the people, just everything it stands for.
We have a race this weekend in Waldo but will be back soon for a long weekend and a good time. Title: Re: Motoplex Youth Racing Post by: TLittle on December 09, 2009, 10:54:26 PM I love that night ride, but working with and watching those kids race and compete is like no other feeling. That is the best thing about the plex, the kid friendly atmosphere, every person I have met from there and via the website has set the best example for our kids and the best way to present sportsmanship...
sorry I couldn't make the last feature I was down to 1 car and had a sick 3 year old birthday girl, but you bet I'll be there to keep watching those kids growing up!!! + the KFX will be back in action Title: Re: Motoplex Youth Racing Post by: greenmachine on December 10, 2009, 08:25:59 AM I love that night ride, but working with and watching those kids race and compete is like no other feeling.

I usually take the kids off riding and leave my wife at home because she is such a worrry wort. I brought my whole family to the Oct. feature and we had a great time and my wife loved it. :ThumbsUp.gif
Thanks for the great place to ride, we will be back soon. Title: Re: Motoplex Youth Racing Post by: BIGWORM3699 ( ECP RACING) on December 12, 2009, 02:53:18 PM I have to agree My kids Ride and race all over and call Plex home. It is hands down the best place for the family to get away and to love the sport of having fun.
I consistently tell everyone about the plex and every time we come I make it a point to bring someone new. Love the plex |
