Jerry and Granddaughter, Aloni.
The ATVA added London, Kentucky’s Daniel Boone MX to their GNC Series schedule in 1995. After the 2005 ATV National the ATVA Promoter’s Group decided to replace the Daniel Boone 2006 GNC with another venue, but thanks to WPSA a Daniel Boone National ATV event continued nonetheless. Over the years many riders have considered their trip to Daniel Boone MX as their favorite stop on whichever series they competed in. It’s no wonder ATV enthusiasts have fallen in love with Daniel Boone MX. The facility features one of the most spectator friendly venues in ATV racing history not to mention a challenging course that utilizes plenty of elevation changes with ATV friendly jumps and obstacles.
Regardless as to whether you’re a spectator or racer; if you’ve ever met the man behind Daniel Boone MX you will probably agree with us when we say he’s one of the good guys in the booming ATV industry. The words honest, hard working and unselfish immediately come to mind.
For the first time in thirteen years Jerry’s Daniel Boone MX will not be on any ATV National Schedule. With this said we thought we would get the scoop straight from Jerry himself…
Without a doubt, Daniel Boone MX in London, KY is certainly one of the most beautiful motocross tracks in the country.
That’s right no WPSA ATV Tour Event this year at DBMX because mostly it’s parking. Rick Murphy and WPSA feel that we need to have some parking improvements here. And after thinking about it; I will agree with them that there are more things needed to take this place to the next level. When I started DBMX in 1991 there was nothing here but the mountains. In May 1992 we held our first race. The process in building the track is not too hard but the process in building roads, parking lots, city water, electric, widening the county road, which was an 1800’s wagon train road into the Daniel Boone National Forest; all this has been financially stressful with long hard hours. Costs that normal people don’t see because it’s in the mountains and not flat land! With the growth of the sport we now see huge factory and aftermarket semi trucks, more amateurs with much bigger rigs and more spectators. It’s awesome growth but there needs to be more parking at DBMX and some other improvements as well. It’s not like you can just rent the farmer’s field next door if there is no flat land to rent. So the benefit of having a very unique race course that can’t be duplicated is awesome but it also has disadvantages. Now if money was not an object, it would be different but the lottery numbers I prayed for; didn’t come in!
