We are heading to Texas this winter. I'll try it for sure. Is it good for rv camping?

I am pretty damn excited to hear about this. I live in McKinney (North DFW) and have checked out Badlands Mx Park, Boondoxxx Mx, Oak Hill Raceway, and His 956 Facility since Underground Mx closed down and none of those placed could stack up. I grew up in SoCal and I am used to tracks of a certain caliper. Underground was the most "SoCal" with it's layout, jumps, and track prep. Most of those other places were hardly ever groomed when I went there and were overgrown - sometimes even single track lanes.

I agree with you that underground is a great track and facility, but don't be bashing other tracks! Some of those other tracks you mentioned put in a lot of work also, especially oakhill and 956. Also I'm not sure what you meant by "overgrown" but I can speak directly for oakhill, 956 and badlands and promise nothing is overgrown on these tracks.

Yeah I'm not sure what Tanner is talking about. I've never been to Oak Hill and seen anything overgrown. Haven't been to 956 or Badlands.

Yeah, I don't think he does either!

I never said those other tracks were terrible; I simply stated that I preferred Underground. I'd still go to any of them, but I have a preference. Here, so you guys don't get your panties in a bunch, I'll provide some additional, more detailed, feedback for all you people that probably like participation trophies.

Oak Hill Raceway: great track and facility. I never bad mouthed this place; however, I can understand the way I wrote it made it seem like it was lumped in with the other places.

His 956 Facility: Good amount of land for numerous track layouts and options. This may have been a bad time for me to go, but when I went it was two weekends before Loretta's. The track only utilized 30-40% of the open area that they have available. The track was really, really short for the sheer amount of space they have. Also, for having all that space, they could have two tracks: one for the amateurs training for Loretta's and one for the weekend warriors.

Boondoxxx Mx: This place wasn't busy at all, so that was nice. If you ride the main track, it is tiny. It is literally 4 straightaways with a lap time around 45 seconds. If you want to ride the big track, you ride the main track and then jump off onto a single-track "track". I did like how there were two different tracks, but both had grass overgrowing onto jump faces and on landings. This makes hitting hip jumps sketchy when you are learning the track and learning what direction to head.

Badlands Mx: This place was a decent size and had two tracks but the second one must have been incomplete. They are open on Sunday's but not Saturday's. Even with that day off, the track was tore up from what looked like a week of sitting in that condition since the dirt was baked in early spring.

Underground Mx: This place is nice and wide and provides challenges for every level of rider, but nothing so do-or-die that a weekend warrior like myself doesn't get themselves killed. The track seems to be fully tilled up every time I have gone there. Overall, it is just the best track experience in DFW from what I have seen so far.

And by the way, I have yet to see flaggers at any of these places, even on busy weekends.

I'd recommend that you check out River Valley.
