About The Surface You Will Ride

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.

More about the track

On The Gate

A Track For Every Skill Level

Race days run classes from Mini E and 51cc all the way through 250, Open, Schoolboy, Women, and the Vet classes. American Heroes is free to all first responders and all service men and women.

Two Separate Tracks

Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.

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.
