Want berms? Got berms. Track is a series of tight built up berms that will help you get them dialed.

Access is from the Grundy's turn off on Thunder Goat. Continue straight ahead once you've turned off Thunder Goat to start KY.

Track exit merges with Grundy's and Jeremy's so watch out for other traffic.
