DR Ericksen and his crew has been working hard over the off-season with mass improvements on the 4/10 mile supertrack at Motor Mountain.

Ericksen's goal is to make Hesston a showplace of motorsports in the region and to create a family-friendly atmosphere to experience the high-speed action. UFo "Triple TnT" will be the first major event for the track for the 2011 season and the "Dirt Doctor" has added this additional payoff to the event to make it an all-around 1st-class event.
