Dade City Motocross

Dade City Motocross runs on the Pasco County Fairgrounds site in Dade City, Florida. The operator publishes a busy week: racing or practice every Saturday night, MX schools every Saturday morning from 9am to 12:30pm, practice every Thursday night, plus occasional Sunday day practice. The backbone of the calendar is the 47th Annual Saturday Night Championship with 21 rounds between January and November 2026. For the championship races, KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas have posted contingency programmes worth 286,650.00 dollars in total, valid from six riders per class. The Red Bull Day in the Dirt Down South grand prix is announced for 12 to 14 March 2027. Fees, track length and soil build-up are not stated on the operator page. Our record has sand as the surface, with a layout built around jumps and tight sections. Sand works on the rear above all: what is a flat line early in the evening is a deep rut a few groups later, and if the rear wheel comes back too fast after every hit, the bike starts pogoing and you lose the line. Top of our cause list is rebound that is too fast for sand - slow it down, a few clicks less out, so the rear stops bouncing in the deep stuff.
