Where Hartselle Riders Come To Race
Riders from Hartselle have a short list of places worth trailering to. McLarty MX Park makes it because of the dirt: sandy loam mixed our own way, so it keeps its shape through the day instead of baking into a freeway.

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.

On The Gate
Bring The Whole Family
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.

Plenty of parking and pit space, with front row RV spots that have power and water hookups.

Is there a motocross track near Hartselle?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Hartselle 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.
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.
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.
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.
