On The Gate
Riders, Parents And Spectators
Bring the family. From most spots in the pits you can watch something like seventy percent of the track, which is exactly what a parent wants when their nine year old is out there.
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.
The Surface
Dirt That Holds Up All Day
We prep before you roll in and keep working it through a race day. Combined with a surface that actually holds moisture, that means the track you ride at four o clock still resembles the one you rode at ten.

Questions From Tupelo Riders
How far is McLarty MX Park from Tupelo, MS?
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 132 miles west of Tupelo in a straight line. Because of the river and the lake, the road route can be noticeably longer - the map on this page shows the real driving distance and time from Tupelo.
Is there a motocross track near Tupelo?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Tupelo riders end up at. It is a real haul, and worth making a weekend of away in Horton, with two prepped sandy loam tracks and announced race and practice days.
Is the park open every weekend?
No. We open on announced dates only. Check the schedule page before you load up - it lists every date we have on the books along with any weather notices.
What kind of dirt is the track?
Sandy loam - Alabama red clay mixed with our own blend of wood shavings. It holds moisture, keeps traction, and stops the track turning into a dust bowl.
What happens if it rains?
Sandy loam drains well, so light rain often does not stop us. If weather does force a change, we post it at the top of every page on this website and on our Facebook page.
