Gravity Fest is one of the original and most beloved gravity sports events in the world. Originated in 2002 on Rocks Road in Munnsville, NY, it soon after moved to E Hill Rd where it has remained ever since. 16 years since its founding, the event has run 10 times with multiple brief hiatuses. It ran most recently in 2015, and was put on ice until Emgee Events decided to re-launch the event, with the blessing of previous organizers Dr.No Racing and the American Legion.
The decision to bring back Gravity Fest was easy: It’s a perfect “intermediate-plus” racetrack, with perfect pavement, 50mph top end speeds, smooth sweepers and an infamous “Crash Corner” right hairpin, an ideal spectator zone. The rider campground and American Legion bar & restaurant is located right at the finish line, making for a convenient, fun experience in the heart of beautiful Central NY, all with a low entry fee.
