Ogden Cycle Association (OCA) - Hot Springs Raceway

The Ogden Cycle Association has been running motocross at Hot Springs Raceway in Farr West, Utah since 1956. That puts it in rare company. American motocross facilities that have operated continuously for nearly seven decades can be counted on a couple of hands. OCA is one of them, and the club's ongoing operation under the same non-profit private motorcycle club model that started it is part of what makes the history meaningful. The dirt is the most-quoted fact about the property. Dark chocolate brown loam at Hot Springs is legendary among Utah riders. Loam this rich is uncommon in the western U.S., where most regional tracks ride on sand, hardpack, or decomposed granite. The chocolate-brown Hot Springs loam delivers multiple riding lines, deep ruts, and unmatched traction, which is the working definition of a high-quality motocross surface. Riders who travel from out-of-state to ride OCA tend to come for the dirt specifically. The track portfolio serves youth, beginner, and advanced riders with dedicated layouts at each skill level. The multi-track structure is the standard family-friendly arrangement and lets households with riders at different skill levels practice the same property at the same time. The skill-separation matters at OCA because the property's competitive racing program attracts serious pro and pro-am riders who need uninterrupted full-pace access. The OCA Championship Series brings professional-level racing to the property. The series is one of the most respected regional racing programs in the Utah and broader Mountain West motocross scene, and it gives serious local racers a structured competitive calendar across the season. The Championship Series produces points racing that builds rider-track relationships across full seasons. The non-profit private motorcycle club operating model is the property's structural identity. Most American motocross facilities operate as commercial properties. OCA's club structure means the property is owned and run by its members rather than a profit-seeking operator, and the operating culture reflects that. Decisions about prep, calendar, and facility investment go through the club rather than through a single owner, and the result is the kind of continuity that has carried OCA through nearly seven decades. Membership is required for most access, with public events available on the broader calendar. The membership requirement is standard for private clubs and is what makes the operating model viable. Public events through the year give the broader Utah motocross community a way to ride the property and meet the membership. The Farr West location is in Weber County, in the northern part of Utah, north of Ogden. Salt Lake City is about 45 minutes south on Interstate 15. The position pulls riders from across the Wasatch Front and northern Utah. ocamx.club for the current schedule, membership information, and public event calendar.
