History
Gravity Park USA opened in 2000. It was named Gravity Park until it was renovated in 2005. When it originally opened, it held snocross races in the North American winter. Races were also held on an on-site dirt oval for several years before the renovation. The track hosted the 2005 Kraft Amateur Stadiumcross Championship; 250 drivers competed in the event.
The track has been used for special touring events, such as Badger State Quad Championship quad races. The track has also been used for SCCA RallyCross and mud bogging.
World record
On September 11 to 12, 2010, motocycle racer Perry Prichard attempted to break a world record at Gravity Park. He contacted the Guinness World Records to certify the record, and the attempt was to set "the most continuous laps on a motocross bike on a motocross track by an individual in 24 hours". The record attempt was a benefit for Haitians. He was allowed a 5-minute break each hour to refuel, refresh, and bike repairs. Guinness certified the record 426.96 km (265.3 mi) distance as the "Greatest distance on a motocross in 24 hours (individual)".
When asked why he did the record attempt, he replied "when I sat down to think of what I could do to raise money for Haiti, the first thoughts through my head were NOT to sell pizzas, Girl Scout cookies or anything like that, it was about, I love to ride motorcycles and how can I turn that passion into raising money?"
Amenities
The track has a sports bar and lounge, called the Killsnake Clubhouse, that is open while there is racing on the track.
