Two Separate Tracks
Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.
From Nashville To The Gate Drop
If you are hunting for a motocross track near Nashville, McLarty MX Park is a real haul, and worth making a weekend of away in Horton, Alabama. Close enough for most riders in Davidson County to load the bike after breakfast and still get a full day of laps.

The Surface
The Reason Riders Keep Coming Back
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.
On The Gate
Everybody From Mini E To Open
Racers, practice riders and people just getting started all use the same gate. Sign in at the tower, tell us what you are riding, and we will point you to the right class.
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.
