It Drains

Travel Notes For Gadsden Riders
You are practically a local. Riders this close treat a practice day the way most people treat going to the gym - hook up, ride, unhook, and still be home for supper.
Most riders from Gadsden come in via US-431 west through Attalla. Put the address in your phone and it will take you the rest of the way.
The Surface
The Reason Riders Keep Coming Back
The mix is red clay and wood shavings, and the ratio is ours. What it buys you is a track that still has berms and lines late in the day rather than one worn groove and a cloud of dust.
Before You Come
Check This Before You Hook Up
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.
No dates posted at the moment
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 Gadsden.
On The Gate
Everybody From Mini E To Open
This is not an experts-only track. Beginner classes like Youth D exist for a reason, and the layout is forgiving enough for a kid learning while still being big enough for A riders to hold it open.
Room In The Pits
Plenty of parking and pit space, with front row RV spots that have power and water hookups.
Lines For Every Skill
Big enough for A riders, forgiving enough for a nine year old on a 65. Everybody gets a lap that suits them.

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 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.
