On The Gate
Racers, Families And First-Timers
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.
It Drains
Sandy loam sheds water. A rain shower is not automatically the end of the day here.
Room In The Pits
Plenty of parking and pit space, with front row RV spots that have power and water hookups.
The Surface
Dirt That Holds Up All Day
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.

Questions From Florence Riders
How far is McLarty MX Park from Florence, AL?
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 84 miles northwest of Florence 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 Florence.
Is there a motocross track near Florence?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Florence 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.
Is the park open every weekend?
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.
What kind of dirt is the track?
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.
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.
