Riverside Motocross Park

Riverside Motocross Park sits at 7348 West Hwy 134 in Newton, Alabama, and by its own account has been operating since 1994. The operator states the gates are open every day from 9:00 am until dark; practice runs on Saturdays and Sundays, and races are held on Sundays unless otherwise specified. The track is fully irrigated and gets watered periodically as needed on practice weekends. Anyone needing current track information is pointed at the operator's phone number, because day-to-day changes are kept there rather than on the website. Track length and riding fees are not publicly documented. Our record has this as clay. On that kind of ground the watering works for you and against you at the same time: grip is plentiful, but the lines dig into deep ruts fast, and the front wheel knifes in and pulls the bars off your line. Top of our cause list for that is a fork set too soft that rides too low and knifes into the rut - add compression so the front stays up in the stroke.
