Hello,
I'm looking to head down to Tennessee this weekend. Planning on going to Fast Farms on Saturday but I'm looking for a track to go to on Friday. The only one I've heard that may be open is MX Wildflower. Does anyone have feedback or suggestions?

Thanks!
Eddie

This time of year not a lot open during the week. Son just went to Fast Farms this Sunday. Said track was good and fun, said a lot of people where there.

What part of TN you going to? The Mountain MX has re-opened and will be open Saturday the 8th, weather permitting. Haven't been there since they re-opened, but it was a fun track last time I was there. Exit 60 off I-75.

Anything has to be better than Michigan right now! Fast Farms is always sick, we're hoping for good weather though.

If you haven't been to Monster Mountain in Alabama you need to! I know its way further south than Tennessee but well worth the drive.

It was 65 last Sunday, but then the storm blew in that night. Might want to call to see how the track is. 50s and 60s this Saturday and Sunday but 20/30% chance of rain. If the rain chance goes away, we might head down there Saturday.

Don't worry about the weather here. If you don't like it, hang around for 15 minutes and it'll change. lol

That's really where we want to go but we haven't decided if we're going to commit to the extra hours. I've never been there but heard great reviews. That picture looks amazing. I think it would suit my YZ 250 just fine!

Just moved to the Nashville area. Wildflower is fairly new and is ok. I haven't talked to the owner in quite some time but I heard he was wanting to redo the track and base it on LL's. Used to have one decent double and the rest were small tables and doubles. Beckwith MX is pretty cool but the only thing with that track is the track times. You have to follow them on Facebook and the owner will post the times. He is a pilot so they are opened when he is home. Dunn's playground in Brownsville, KY (pretty close to Nashville) is supposed to be a pretty sweet track also. Haven't been yet but their are some videos on youtube. If you like single track their is a place in Antioch, TN called the Boneyard. Great place to ride and a nice owner also. Hope it helps!

Fast farm, silver point, the mtn mx, several in north georgia. Alabama has a few good tracks close to state lines off 59. Fannin county go through Ducktown, its close. I got some badass single track. Brownie was up training a couple months ago. Im not a big woods guy anymore though

You won't be dissapointed if you go! It's open 7 days a week during the winter. Tom does a awesome job of prepping it. They have the main track, GP track, pit bike track, RC track and a flat track. It has a variety of dirt to, from sand to clay to top soil. Nice people and the weather is usually really nice. 71 and sunny is the forecast for this Saturday! I've rode a lot of tracks but this place is the best by far. Hope you get to ride it one day...

X2 Monster is a great place to ride. If you are considering riding out of TN also consider Highland Park in GA. Also not to far from TN.

Fast farms is always great. Silver point is a little north, I'm sure Chad would let you ride. There is an old school grass MX track in Dayton (about an hour east) that u could ride. I can give you the contact. There is also Christiana (same owner as fast farms) and I'm sure u could ride there. The is also Darrel tracks in Chattanooga (1 hour) and Calhoun (1.5 hr) away and he probably would let u ride. There is also a 5 mile hare scramble loop about 30 minutes from there that I rode this weekend. Let me know if u need some contact info. Cannon and the mountain are also options. Old glory is also. Lots to choose from

Fast farms is having a race this weekend Mar 8 and 9th so you might have to drive to Alabama. They are having prepped practice Sat, everyone welcome and then race Sunday.

Millcreek in Birmingham posted they are having practice Sat and Sun, 2 hours closer than Monster but further than Fast Farms.

The mountain MX looks like an alright place.

We will probably hit Fast farms on Sat and either the Mountain on Sunday or Millcreek.
