Travel Notes For Oxford Riders
Solid day-trip territory. Plenty of riders in Calhoun County do exactly that: out in the morning, home that night.

The Surface
Why The Dirt Is Worth The Drive
Alabama red clay on its own goes greasy wet and concrete dry. Cut with wood shavings it does neither, which is how we keep a rideable surface from gates open to the last checkered flag.

On The Gate
Everybody From Mini E To Open
This is not an experts-only track. Beginner classes like Youth D exist for a reason, and the layout is forgiving enough for a kid learning while still being big enough for A riders to hold it open.
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.
