OTC - On Track Creations

For the ’08 and ’09 season, Paul Carpenter called on OTC to build his private supercross track. The location was Huntington, TX. When we arrived, we found the typical soil for that area, which consisted of a couple feet of sand with hard clay underneath. This was a challenge for us because you can’t build jumps out of sand. We had to strip the sand off all of the areas where there would be track and dig a barrow pit to get the clay needed for the base. Basically, flip flop the sand for clay. Then we excavated the existing pond to make it larger, in order to get all of the dirt for the jumps.

We moved roughly 6,500 yards on this job, and from start to finish it took us 6 days. It wasn’t your typical SX track. It had two full 300ft long rhythm sections, two sets of whoops, and every other obstacle you would see on a SX track and then some! Paul felt that having this track contributed to his success in 08-09 when he won the top privateer award.
