Two Separate Tracks
Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.
For riders around Atlanta, Georgia, the run to McLarty MX Park is a longer drive. What you get at the end of it is Alabama red clay cut with wood shavings - traction where most tracks give you none.
Straight-line distance. The map further down shows the real driving route and time from Atlanta.
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.
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.
Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.
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.
The single most important thing: check the schedule before you drive. We open on announced dates only, and if weather moves something we post it at the top of every page on this site.
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.
No. Pit bike riding is not permitted anywhere on the property. That rule gets enforced.
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.
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.
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.
