The Surface
What Makes This Track Different
Sandy loam is the whole point. It drains after a shower, it takes a rip, and it gives you grip where you expect to be sliding. That is why riders trailer past closer tracks to get here.
Directions
How Far Is It From Hoover?
Solid day-trip territory. Plenty of riders in Jefferson County do exactly that: out in the morning, home that night.
Set your GPS to 4015 County Highway 35, Horton, AL 35980 and it will bring you straight to the gate. From Hoover you are heading generally northeast.
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.
Before You Come
A Few Things To Sort Out First
Look at the schedule, then load the bike. Riders sign in at the tower when they arrive and pay at the gate - under 18 needs a parent or legal guardian signature.
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 Hoover.

Questions From Hoover Riders
How far is McLarty MX Park from Hoover, AL?
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 59 miles southwest of Hoover 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 Hoover.
Is there a motocross track near Hoover?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Hoover riders end up at. It is an easy day trip 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.
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.
