Two Separate Tracks
Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.
Dirt Bike Riding Near Madison, AL
McLarty MX Park sits in the little community of Horton, southeast of Madison. What you find at the end of the drive is two prepped sandy loam tracks that hold moisture instead of turning into a dust bowl by lunch.

On The Gate
Bring The Whole Family
You will find four year olds on 50s and forty five year olds on 450s in the same pits. The class list covers Mini E through Open, plus Girls, Women, Schoolboy, College Boy and the 25, 35 and 45 plus classes.
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.
The Surface
What Makes This Track Different
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.

Planning The Trip From Madison
This is the sweet spot. Far enough that the track is a destination, close enough that you are not burning the whole day on the road. Most Madison riders make it out and back the same day without thinking twice.
Most riders from Madison come in via I-565 east, then US-231 south. Put the address in your phone and it will take you the rest of the way.

Questions From Madison Riders
How far is McLarty MX Park from Madison, AL?
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 41 miles northwest of Madison 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 Madison.
Is there a motocross track near Madison?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Madison 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 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.
Do I need to sign up before I come?
No. There is no membership and no pre-registration. Sign in at the tower when you arrive and pay at the gate. Riders under 18 need a parent or legal guardian signature.
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.
