ERX was and has <br />been the reason my family, friends, and relatives would venture north of the Twin Cities from Iowa. ERX <br />allowed us to enter the world of snocross around 2014, and we haven't had a winter without a trip there <br />since. When we come to ERX, we stay in local hotels for a entire weekend and enjoy places such as Short <br />or Tall, and all the local breweries, pubs, and eateries. The economic and social / developmental <br />(snocross, short course off -road) impact of ERX should not be sold short. It is a hidden gym in the north <br />for all ages. <br />Thanks, <br />Austin Bonnstetter <br />
