The Surface

The Reason Riders Keep Coming Back

Alabama red clay on its own goes greasy wet and concrete dry. Cut with wood shavings it does neither, which is how we keep a rideable surface from gates open to the last checkered flag.

On The Gate

Everybody From Mini E To Open

Racers, practice riders and people just getting started all use the same gate. Sign in at the tower, tell us what you are riding, and we will point you to the right class.

Two Separate Tracks

Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.

Prepped Before You Roll In

The track is watered and ripped before gates open, and it gets worked through the day on race days.

You Can See The Whole Thing

The layout sits in an open field, so from most spots in the pits you can watch about 70 percent of the track. Parents love it.
