Directions
The Drive From Talladega
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 Talladega riders make it out and back the same day without thinking twice.
Set your GPS to 4015 County Highway 35, Horton, AL 35980 and it will bring you straight to the gate. From Talladega you are heading generally north.
The Surface
Why The Dirt Is Worth The Drive
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.
