Medora motocross road closure approved for Father’s Day weekend with safety conditions
Summary
Commissioners approved closing County Road 425 S in Medora June 20–21 for a motocross race expected to draw about 4,000 people, subject to promoter compliance with waivers, barricade coordination with Highway and EMA, and outreach to the visitor center.
The Jackson County Board approved a request from Michael Reynolds to close County Road 425 S in Medora on June 20–21 so motocross participants can cross from a staging area to the racecourse. The promoter said the event hopes to revive an annual motocross race after 13 years and estimated attendance at about 4,000 people.
County Attorney Susan Bevers and the commissioners emphasized safety. The board recommended the promoter require participant waivers, coordinate barricades and temporary traffic control with County Highway and EMA, and work with the Jackson County Visitor Center on advertising and lodging for out‑of‑town attendees. The closure was approved subject to those safety coordination steps.
