Yucca Hills Mx

Yucca Hills MX is a motocross track in Wauneta, Nebraska, out in the southwest part of the state, and it runs as one of the tracks under the Nebraska Cornhusker Motocross Association. It is looked after by the Barnard family, with Todd, Teresa, and Kevin Barnard as the local contacts, which gives it that family-run, community-track feel common to motocross in rural Nebraska.

Because it is part of the NCMA, the race-day routine follows the association's standard. Gates and registration open early at 7 a.m., practice rolls at 9, and racing starts around 11. The fee structure is grassroots-friendly: a 10 dollar gate with kids ten and under free, 30 dollars per class to enter, and an NCMA membership at 30 dollars a year or a 10 dollar day pass. There is dry camping for riders who roll in early, and concessions are available on race day, so you can make a full day of it without packing everything yourself.

For riders across southwest Nebraska and into the neighboring corners of Kansas and Colorado, Yucca Hills is part of a real points-chasing circuit rather than a one-off track, which makes the NCMA calendar worth following. Dates and prep move with the season, so confirm before you haul. See ncmamx.com for the NCMA schedule, class structure, and membership details, and check the latest postings so you know Yucca Hills is on the calendar the weekend you want to race. Following the full NCMA calendar is the move, since chasing the series points means riding several of the association tracks across the season, not just this one.

Ride it once and the place sticks with you, the sort of track that stays in your forearms the whole drive home.
