2006 ATVA MX Nationals Round #1 –Mill Creek - Pell City, AL – Pro ATV Race Coverage

Pell City, AL - For the first time ever, the ATVA Motocross Nationals headed south to Alabama to Mill Creek Motocross Track located in the small southern town of Pell City, which is conveniently located just 30 miles west of Birmingham the largest city in Alabama.

Birmingham, AL grew from its rich source of Iron in the hills that surround the city, and it economy continues to revolve around the iron and steel industry.

To celebrate its Iron roots, a sculpture of a Iron worker known as "Vulcan Man" was constructed for the World Fair in the early 1900's, and final resting place is on top of a hill overlooking the city of Birmingham. It was recently restored and opened to the public to view the city of Birmingham from near the top of its pedestal.

With the Mill Creek Track only a couple miles outside the city of Pell City and within a few miles of a Wal-Mart, I experimented with having an autograph session at Wal-Mart, and Alabama’s Keith Little along with Team Yoshimura Suzuki’s Doug Gust & Jeremiah Jones also attended to sign autographs and create visitors.

Wal-Mart allowed us to park the two rigs right in front of Wal-Mart, which was really cool.

Keith Little wheeled his Lonestar Racing’s Honda into the entrance of Wal-Mart and signed autographs for several hours Thursday evening.

At the other entrance, Doug Gust and Jeremiah Jones were setup at a table, and they too were kept busy signing autographs. The Wal-Mart idea proved to be a success experiment, and ATV racers will be attending more retail stores at future events this year along with the normal ATV dealerships for Open House events.

The event also provided some time for the kids/mechanics, paul turner and Ryan Cox, to try and win some prizes to take back to their rooms, lol.

As I headed over to the Mill Creek Track, I crossed over the railroad track less than a mile from the race track, and I spotted this Amtrak Train

Upon arriving at the track, the parking lot was quickly filling up with trailers from around the country and everyone was happy with all the level parking.

The track itself was awesome with plenty of elevation changes as it crisscrossed from one hill to another and down into the small valleys. The track could have been slightly wider, but it still allowed for plenty of passing and even developed a few passing lanes on some of the sweeping turns.
