Mid-Ohio MX Park

Mid-Ohio MX Park in Lexington was a legendary 1970s and 80s AMA Trans-AMA and National motocross venue. Billy Grossi won the 1975 500cc AMA event at the property. The facility is now a horse farm and no longer operational. It is retained in this directory for historical reference and regional motocross record.

The Trans-AMA and National motocross event hosting during the 1970s and 80s placed Mid-Ohio MX Park in the foundational tier of American motocross facility history. Trans-AMA was a major American motocross series during the era, drawing the world's championship-tier riders to American venues each season. The National motocross events represented the championship-grade race programming that defined the broader sport's organized development.

The Billy Grossi 1975 500cc AMA victory at Mid-Ohio MX Park is the specific cultural touchstone that anchors the property's broader historical identity. Championship-level race results at specific venues build the kind of cultural memory that defines the heritage motocross facility legacy.

The conversion to horse farm operations means the motocross property has been physically transformed rather than just shut down. No possibility of reopening at the same location, the property identity has shifted to a different agricultural and recreational discipline entirely.

For local riders in Richland County and the broader central Ohio region who recognize Mid-Ohio MX Park as a heritage destination, active alternative facilities for current riders include:

Honda Hills MX in Thornville, the central Ohio motocross destination for active programming.

Briarcliff MX in Nashport, the dedicated central Ohio motocross facility with regional programming.

Route 62 MX Park in Martinsburg, the year-round Ohio motocross facility with 1.3-mile outdoor main track, supercross outdoor, peewee outdoor, AND a heated indoor winter track. The winter indoor series pulls 800-plus entries per event.

For local riders in the broader central Ohio region seeking active motocross facilities, refer to the broader Ohio regional motocross listings for current operating windows and access details. The Mid-Ohio MX Park closure ended a heritage Trans-AMA destination, but the broader central Ohio facility cluster continues to deliver active programming for current riders.

The property is retained for historical reference and to preserve the regional motocross record. The Billy Grossi 1975 victory remains a defining chapter in American motocross racing history.
