Dirt Bike Nation

Dirt Bike Nation is a family-oriented motocross club and training facility on Highway 281 near Quincy, in central Washington's high desert just up the road from George. Founders Robb and Leisa Manning run it like a club rather than a gate-fee track, and the weekend culture shows it: couples pit bike races, team relays, obstacle courses, and slow races share the calendar with serious moto time. Four riding areas cover every rider from toddlers to pros. The main track is fast, wide, and flowing, roughly a two-minute lap loaded with big jumps, open sweepers, and rhythm sections built to test stamina over long motos. A deep-rutted turn track sharpens cornering, braking, and line choice. Dedicated pit bike and mini-bike tracks handle small-bore racing and play riding, and a flat small-bike oval gives true beginners a low-risk place to learn clutch and throttle. Because the Quincy desert runs dry, the crew waters and grooms heavily throughout the day to keep dust down and traction prime. The rider-development program is the signature: Dirt Bike Nation is the home base of Monsoon MX, the coaching school run by USMCA-certified coach Robb Manning, covering body position and corner speed through race tactics and gate starts, plus multi-day camps like the Loretta's Prep Moto Camp for national-amateur hopefuls. Complete beginner experiences bundle rental bikes, full safety gear, and one-on-one coaching. Weekend public riding generally runs 9am to 5pm, weather permitting, with daily drop-ins welcome alongside annual club memberships, and no trail tabs or road endorsements required. Spectating is free. Overnight RV and tent camping includes premium reservable sites with power and septic hookups and water fills, free Wi-Fi covers the property, and a trackside grill feeds event weekends. For riders in Quincy, Wenatchee, Moses Lake, and Ephrata, and anyone camping the Gorge, Dirt Bike Nation is central Washington's family riding home. (425) 244-0131.
