508 International

508 International in Charlton, Massachusetts is a multi-discipline central Massachusetts motorsports complex combining motocross, flat track, a 4x4 rock crawl course, and a full event calendar on one property. That mix puts it in a different category than the typical dedicated MX track and brings in a broader crowd than a moto-only venue could.

The motocross side runs a main track with roughly 2-minute lap times, plus a separate peewee track for 50cc and 65cc kids that keeps the little ones out of full-size traffic. The main layout uses the central Massachusetts terrain for variety rather than chasing maximum length. The sand and dirt mix soil holds tacky lines in the morning and works up the ruts and rhythm sections that test technique by afternoon.

The 1/4-mile clay flat track brings a second discipline with its own crowd and its own racing culture, and the 4x4 rock crawl course adds a third: rock crawling runs closer to Jeep and off-road truck culture than to moto, and 508 is one of the few properties in the Northeast offering it at this scale. Beyond motorsports, the calendar picks up music festivals and obstacle course races, so the property stays busy in ways a moto-only venue never would.

Hours run Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12:30pm to dusk and Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to dusk. The midweek afternoon window suits riders coming out after work, and the weekend daytime hours serve the family practice and racing crowd. RV parking handles visiting families and weekend racers.

Charlton sits in Worcester County in central Massachusetts, with Worcester about 30 minutes north, Boston 90 minutes east, and Hartford, Connecticut roughly an hour south, so the gate pulls from across southern New England. Call (508) 434-6335 for the current schedule and event calendar.
