It's got to be done, this track is great but very challenging. Hats off to anyone that can clean the race.

Since 1976, High Point Raceway, nestled in the scenic mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania near Mt. Morris, has challenged the world's fastest motocross athletes. Generations have enjoyed the thrill that only pro motocross fans can lay claim to.

Its unique amphitheater setting offers premiere viewing from every aspect of the race course, making it a fan favorite among hardy moto fans and racers. High Point hosts an extensive schedule of Amateur Motocross racing from spring to fall. Join us for an exciting day of racing in the great outdoors!

Event Details


To participate you will require all MX2 bikes from Goes Sync Shop (excluding the 96CR125 and rc125)-
(FYI - If you been on any server with MODs in the last few days, you already have these)

And this track -
HighPoint by The Mod Crew - https://mega.nz/#!Ux1RgAKb!xh2F2Y_kBmLXFjb5TE2uxsYOGWjLk_qB-GFNI96xd7E


2 servers will be used for this event, 1 server will be running practice for all and when the event starts a separate server will be used to hold the races. Those taking part will be called to join the race server and when finished will need to return to the practice server to await their next race call. The heat races will be short to keep waiting times down with the main being slightly longer.

The heats will be setup to run in different formats depending on the number of riders but should also allow for lag free racing that can be replayed to a decent standard. Heat and final races will currently contain a maximum of 8 riders, maybe lower depending on turnout. A single race might be held if numbers are too low to run heats. For initial heat selection names will be drawn at random.

Due to what I think are net code limitations in Beta6 I will only be running 8 people in races for now (as it stands with 8 already in a server joining seems to be a lottery). If I can figure out a way to organise larger races I will but for now this will have to suffice.


Collisions and deformation will be on.

Not had time to try anything but the 250 here so don't know what kind of balance advantage we're looking at. Surely you can man down and get on the 250?  ;D Only 1 triple I can't do on it.

I will also try your setup teeds, I have not been successful setting up the rmz 250 for highpoint. I couldn't clear the first triple for that bike but I like the rmz tbh. will give it a try when I get home.

Who's updated their tyres then? I don't like to update such things, when everyone has been practising on the something different, the day of the race. Maybe someone has tested them already on HighPoint?

Highpoint is compact soil, GeoTyre v2.1 only slightly changes Soil and Soft soil. So no changes for highpoint ;)

I updated mine yesterday. Thats probably why I couldn't get into the event practice yesterday. Kept getting bike mismatch.

Also for todays fun race will their be a password to get into the room?

No password, if we get any unwanted players I can eject the if there's no room and signed up riders can't get in.

eheh, not surprising, that was brutal! Probably best not to run much if any deform on that track as it stands, I thought it might make the rough parts smoother, but it only seemed to make the few smooth parts rough also lol
