i would like to know the distance that people travel to get to the plex, either in time or miles, i would like to get up there a little more often and if we can get a few to go every few weeks that would be awsome... my distance is about 4 hrs

I've never been there but I would say around 4 hours.  The distance is the reason I don't go...

4 hrs for me. Its right at 250 miles each way.  I usually have to factor in at least one blowout on the trailer Cry. The blowout on this trip tore the trailer up pretty good. 
  My son is ready for the next trip already but it will probably be in the fall due to summer vacations and boating plans.

Man, some of you guys are lucky. If I was 1 hour away I'd be a member and go 2-3 times a month, 2hrs. and I'd probably go once a month. For me, 4 hrs. puts it out of the "day trip" range and the time and expense goes way up.

GPS time 6 hours...my driving 5 to 5.5 hours.

South Fort Myers and always worth the trip...Croom??? I remember that is the place I drive by every time I go to the best riding location in Florida.

It's 430 miles from Miami to the Motoplex. Takes 6 hours and some change.

We have a lot of guys who come quite regularly from West Palm etc.

I live north of the plex and have driven down to L-Cross for a fun weekend, a number of times before I built the plex...it's not too bad of a trip.

Depends on if I am towing a big trailer or a small trailer, 3.5~4 hours from St. Pete. I go at least 10 times per year since the place opened and it was worth every mile every trip. No better place to ride in Florida IMO.

2 hours for us from just west of Ocala.  Drive up the back way through Williston and Bell so no Interstate. 60 mph is a lot easier on the old 26' class C with a little 350 chevy pulling an 8'x18' trailer with 6 ATV's.

It's a little under 2 hours for us from Jacksnville. We have done several one day trips but lately we have been going and camping for the weekend. We try to go once or twice a month in between my sons baseball and the my daughters dance class. Even for a one day trip, it is well worth it as they have everthing to make the entire family happy. Probably need to go ahead and become a member. Three weekend trips of camping will pay for our membership. Most of the riding places are about 1 1/2 hours from us, so another 20 or 30 minutes is not a problem.
