Calhoun Motocross

Calhoun Motocross in Calhoun, Georgia is the state's oldest Saturday night motocross race track: more than 40 years of continuous racing, a recently redesigned Supercross-style layout, and a working night-race calendar that defines its place in north Georgia motocross history.

Saturday night racing under the lights is the identity. Most tracks in the region run daytime programs; Calhoun's lighting carries race weekends past sunset, and the atmosphere shows it. The redesigned Supercross-style layout adds real race-prep training value on top of the local racing.

Age classes run from 4-year-olds through 55+, so whole families can race the same evening program, kids in the early classes and adults in the vet divisions. The family-friendly atmosphere is the operating philosophy: the kind of track where Saturday night becomes a standing social event for the local community.

Forty-plus years of operation says plenty on its own. The track has survived multiple swings in the Georgia motocross economy and outlasted the closure of plenty of other venues, and that continuity builds the multi-generation rider relationships newer tracks cannot buy.

For riders in Gordon County and northwest Georgia, Calhoun is the Saturday night home track. Calhoun, Cartersville, Dalton, and Rome sit closest along I-75 between Atlanta and Chattanooga: about 70 minutes from downtown Atlanta, about 50 from Chattanooga, and right off the interstate, which is exactly why it pulls riders from both metros.
