Our surface is Alabama red clay mixed with our own blend of wood shavings. It holds moisture through the day, keeps traction in the corners most tracks give up on, and does not bake flat by the second moto.

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.
