UNDERGROUND MX // KEMP, TX // undergroundmxpark.com // 903-498-4659
Jeff and Dana Quick purchased Underground MX with a vision to make it great again! They had been involved with the training aspect of motocross already but wanted to get involved in promoting racing as well. Their son, Clay, competed for many years and raced for the Rides Unlimited/BTO/ Seven race team. He gave it up recently to attend Bible college and go into full-time ministry. A year after purchasing Underground, land became available right next door, and a new track was built for a full-time motocross training facility called Quicks Moto Ranch. Former arenacross champion Kyle Regal now runs the full-time training program and is amazing with all his expertise—everyone loves how fun he makes each session too! He’s great with all ages. A fully equipped on-site gym, an outdoor basketball court, a couple of skate halfpipes, pit- bike jumps, and fishing ponds are some of the perks for the training students. Personal fitness training is optional and available onsite with Kelly Smith, too, one of our training parents.
