Track DNA — what the dirt is really like
Intermediate- ▸Loam — the good stuff. Takes ruts, holds a line, and rewards smooth riding. This is the surface most tires and stock suspension are happiest on.
- ▸Holds water — plan on 3+ dry days after a real rain before it’s worth the haul. Check the track’s page/Facebook first.
- ▸High silt (42%) — this dirt turns to DUST when dry. Expect water trucks, hazy late motos, and pack extra air-filter prep.
- ▸Real clay content (33%) — slick spots when wet, and ruts that set up like concrete once they dry.
- ▸Flat land — every jump and roller is built, which usually means a faster, more momentum-style track.
- ▸Wettest months: May, Jun, Oct — highest mud/cancellation risk. Prime window: Jul, Aug, Sep.
What do these terms mean? ▾
- Sand / Silt / Clay %:
- What the topsoil is made of. More sand = looser and faster-draining. More clay = harder, slicker when wet. Silt is the fine dust-maker in between.
- Loam:
- A balanced sand/silt/clay mix — the tacky, rut-forming dirt riders love.
- Blue-groove:
- When dry hard-pack gets polished by tires into a shiny dark racing line — grippy for some tires, ice for others.
- Drainage class:
- USDA’s rating of how fast this ground sheds water — it predicts how soon after rain the track is rideable.
- Soil series:
- The official USDA name for this exact soil type (like a breed name for dirt).
- Relief:
- How much the ground rises and falls within the track’s ~1 km square — flat, rolling, or genuinely hilly.

Setup tuned to this track's verified soil & terrain
Air filtration · Clean spare air filter
Dry hard-pack dirt still kicks up fine dust — a clean, properly oiled spare keeps power consistent across a long race day.
Flat protection · Heavy-duty tubes or a bib mousse
Hard, packed "blue-groove" surfaces (and any embedded rock) raise pinch-flat risk on square-edge hits. Heavy-duty tubes or a mousse insert keep you finishing motos.
Suspension · Sag / suspension tools
Flat layouts ride on repeated man-made jump landings — set rebound and race sag for consistent, repeatable hits.
Track note: Hard-pack holds moisture and sets up slick — it grips best when freshly watered early and gets glazed and slippery once it dries out under traffic.
