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.

More about the track

On The Gate

Who Rides Here

Race days run classes from Mini E and 51cc all the way through 250, Open, Schoolboy, Women, and the Vet classes. American Heroes is free to all first responders and all service men and women.

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.

The Drive From Atlanta

Most people turn this into an overnight. Come in Friday, camp at the track, and be signed in before gates on Saturday rather than driving at daybreak.

Most riders from Atlanta come in via I-20 west, then north through Gadsden. Put the address in your phone and it will take you the rest of the way.

The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 119 miles east of Atlanta 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 Atlanta.

McLarty MX Park is the one most Atlanta riders end up at. It is a couple of hours on the road away in Horton, with two prepped sandy loam tracks and announced race and practice days.

Are pit bikes allowed?

No. Pit bike riding is not permitted anywhere on the property. That rule gets enforced.

Can spectators see the whole track?

Just about. The track sits in an open field, so from most spots in the pits you can see around seventy percent of the layout.

Can I camp at the track?

Yes. Camping is welcome with no ground fires anywhere on the property. Front row RV spots with power and water hookups can be reserved by text.

What happens if it rains?

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.
