Directions

Scottsboro To Horton, Alabama

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 Scottsboro riders make it out and back the same day without thinking twice.

Most riders from Scottsboro come in via US-72 west, then US-431 south. Put the address in your phone and it will take you the rest of the way.

The Reason Riders Keep Coming Back

The mix is red clay and wood shavings, and the ratio is ours. What it buys you is a track that still has berms and lines late in the day rather than one worn groove and a cloud of dust.
