What to expect
UPDATE: Saturday practice is called off, the Sunday race is on. With rain in the forecast for Friday and Saturday, Nelson Valley MX rolled the track in and is leaving it sealed so Sunday gets a better prep, so there is no practice on Saturday, October 3. The Austin Mincey 12th Memorial race runs as planned on Sunday, October 4, 2026, and the forecast keeps improving.
