Valley MX

Valley MX in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin reopened in 2020 after a 16-year closure. The property originally operated as Valley Motorsports until it closed in 2004, and the 2020 reopen under new ownership rebuilt the operation around a loamy-soil track focused on the joy of riding.

A 16-year closure followed by a reopen is unusual in American motocross. Most facilities that close stay closed. The land use realities and operating capital requirements that produce closures rarely reverse, and the operators usually move on. Valley MX's return reflects the new ownership's commitment to bringing back a Fond du Lac-area motocross property that the regional community had lost.

The loamy soil track is the property's defining surface. Loam holds tacky lines through long sessions and develops the kind of grippy ruts that reward riders who can read terrain. Wisconsin loam is part of the broader upper Midwest soil profile that gives regional Wisconsin motocross its distinct character.

"Focused on the joy of riding" is the operating philosophy the new ownership emphasizes. The phrase reflects an operating culture focused on the rider experience rather than maximizing competitive racing programming, and the structure suits a property still rebuilding its operating rhythm after the long closure gap.

The eastern Wisconsin location in Fond du Lac County sits halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay. Milwaukee is about 90 minutes south, Green Bay is roughly an hour and 15 minutes north, and the position pulls riders from across eastern Wisconsin. Madison is about an hour and a half west for visiting weekend riders.

For Fond du Lac-area motocross riders, the return of a property that had been closed for nearly two decades is meaningful. The loamy soil, the rebuilt operation, and the new ownership's commitment to keeping the property running are what defines the current era.

The old pit bike track has been rebuilt as a dedicated 50 track, sized for very new beginners and 50cc riders, so the youngest riders get their own dirt rather than sharing the main layout.
