NCC MX

NCC MX is a motocross track in Waterloo, Iowa, run by Seven Four Promotions on the historic National Cattle Congress Fairgrounds at 257 Ansborough Avenue. The hook here is the format: this is stadium-style motocross, built inside a venue with real racing heritage, and the place has grown to add outdoor MX alongside the stadium layout. When the lights kick on and the gate drops, it has an atmosphere most local tracks cannot match.

The dirt is taken seriously. The track is shaped by professional builder Marty Leum of Dirt Monkey, with a fresh design every year, so regulars get something new to learn each season rather than the same ruts. NCC MX is AMA sanctioned, with AMA membership required to race, and the 2026 calendar includes a May season opener, a June round, and an August Iowa Moto points round, with open practice on Friday evenings ahead of race weekends. Pit passes run 15 dollars for a day or 20 for the weekend, race entry is 40, and a practice day is 35 per rider.

For riders across northeast Iowa and into Minnesota, the Cedar Valley setting plus free primitive camping and available hookups make NCC MX an easy weekend call. Confirm the current schedule and practice nights before you haul, since dates and prep move through the season. See sevenfourpromotions.com for the race calendar, practice nights, and camping details, and reach the crew through the contact listed there before you load up. The Cedar Valley location and the stadium format make a Friday-night-into-weekend trip easy to justify for racers across northeast Iowa.
