Dirt That Holds Up All Day
We prep before you roll in and keep working it through a race day. Combined with a surface that actually holds moisture, that means the track you ride at four o clock still resembles the one you rode at ten.

On The Gate
Racers, Families And First-Timers
Bring the family. From most spots in the pits you can watch something like seventy percent of the track, which is exactly what a parent wants when their nine year old is out there.
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.

Questions From Fort Payne Riders
How far is McLarty MX Park from Fort Payne, AL?
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 43 miles northeast of Fort Payne 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 Fort Payne.
Is there a motocross track near Fort Payne?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Fort Payne riders end up at. It is a comfortable morning drive away in Horton, with two prepped sandy loam tracks and announced race and practice days.
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 classes do you run?
Mini E and 51cc through 65, 85, Supermini, Schoolboy, Girls, Women, 250, Open, College Boy and the 25, 35 and 45 plus classes. The exact list for a given weekend depends on the series running.
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.
Are pit bikes allowed?
No. Pit bike riding is not permitted anywhere on the property. That rule gets enforced.
