Two Separate Tracks
Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.
McLarty MX Park sits in the little community of Horton, southeast of Arab. What you find at the end of the drive is two prepped sandy loam tracks that hold moisture instead of turning into a dust bowl by lunch.
Straight-line distance. The map further down shows the real driving route and time from Arab.
Whether you are chasing series points or just want your kid to get comfortable on dirt somewhere safer than a pasture, there is a spot here for you.

The track is watered and ripped before gates open, and it gets worked through the day on race days.
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.
Most Southeastern tracks pick one problem: dust by noon, or hardpack by afternoon. The blend here does neither. The shavings hold water, the clay holds shape, and the track keeps its character right through the last session.
Being this close has a real advantage: if the weather looks iffy you can wait, watch, and still make it out once the call goes up.
Most riders from Arab come in via US-231 south, then east on County 35. Put the address in your phone and it will take you the rest of the way.
We do not run every weekend, so the schedule page is the first stop. Everything we have on the books is posted there, along with any weather calls.
New race and practice dates go up as soon as they are set. Call the park and we will tell you what is coming before you plan the trip from Arab.
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 11 miles northwest of Arab in a straight line. Because of the river and the lake, the road route can be noticeably longer - the map on this page shows the real driving distance and time from Arab.
McLarty MX Park is the one most Arab riders end up at. It is a short hop away in Horton, with two prepped sandy loam tracks and announced race and practice days.
Sandy loam drains well, so light rain often does not stop us. If weather does force a change, we post it at the top of every page on this website and on our Facebook page.
Sandy loam - Alabama red clay mixed with our own blend of wood shavings. It holds moisture, keeps traction, and stops the track turning into a dust bowl.
No. We open on announced dates only. Check the schedule page before you load up - it lists every date we have on the books along with any weather notices.
