Seven Clans Casino MX Track
Thief River Falls, Minnesota · 20595 Center St E, Thief River Falls, MN 56701
About
Seven Clans Casino MX Track was a roughly 20-acre motocross track on the east side of the Seven Clans Casino property in Thief River Falls, in far northwest Minnesota. DMC Motorsports scheduled races there, including six events in 2019, and the track was otherwise open only during organized practice or race events. The track has since been removed: current satellite imagery shows the casino's east-side land returned to open fields with no track remaining, and DMC Motorsports no longer lists it among its venues.
Track DNA — what the dirt is really like
Sand- ▸Deep, loose dirt that swallows the front wheel if you back off — carry momentum. Expect soft berms, big roost, and chop/whoops forming by the afternoon motos.
- ▸Drains fast — often rideable the day after a rain, and it actually rides BEST with some moisture in it.
- ▸Rolling ground — natural elevation worked into the layout, so the track flows instead of feeling like a flat field with jumps.
- ▸Wettest months: May, Jun, Jul — highest mud/cancellation risk. Prime window: Jun, 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.
