There is a track outside of Milan that I raced in October when I was home on leave. Let me know if you need explicit directions. It's in the boonies, so it's difficult to find. I don't know if they're open in the off season.

Well i cant seem to find my map right now, but i can post directions tommorow when i find it. I cant remember the names of all the highways and interstates. Natchez trace is the best place i have ever ridden. It has 5 or so thousand acres of riding space. There are alot of fireroads, hills, tight trails, mud, you name it. It is right out side of Jackson Tn. Chickasaw is mostly fireroads, verywide open and there are some tight dirttrails, but there is alot of space to ride. All the roads are connected, you could go for days and not find the end of the road. Arkabutla has a little of eveything. Not as big as natchez or chickasaw, but it is very fun. There are about 2 or 3 different acess areas. I have only ridden on these logging roads at pickwik that have some of the biggest hills you could imagine, but i hear there is some really good trail riding up there and pipelines, oh yeah, if you go to natchez, try the pipeline, that is some of the most challenging and fun riding i have ever encountered. I think pikwik would be closest for the arkansas folks. I have never ridden the official riding area there though. But if you get the chance, i recomment natchez, ill try to get those directions soon.

ok, found the map. To get to natchez, you get on interstate 40. Im sure you know of 40 because it runs through arkansas. Then just take 40 all the way through memphis and keep going past Jackson and natchez is about 10 miles past jackson. There will be a sign for it on 40 becase it is a state park. Exit off to the right, and that road will take you through the park. Along all of the roads through the park there are the trails off to the side. It is a huge park, and there is camping, rv camping and cabins. And for the rest, i really cant tell you how to get there because i am not a good map reader. All of these places are on a Tn. map, pickwik is on the Tn. river, it is a really big lake, im sure you have heard of pickwik dam. Chickasaw is a state park. IT looks like you go down 64 until you hit 100 and go down 100 and you'll be there. Arkabutla is in ms. It is right outside or hernando. The only one of these places i have driven too is natchez, i went with someone else the other times. Just look at a Tn. map and you should be able to decipher it better than me. They are all well know places, so ask around and im sure you can find someone who knows better than me. When i said pickwik is the closest, its not, id say arkabutla or chickasaw, then natchez. BTW i live in Cordova.

thanks for the info brianP. I will have to let scotster know they are on the forum page. I will have to check these places out. A couple of freinds of mine are always taking about racing at pickwick (they ride dirt bikes though). I've been wanting to get my 400ex out on a motorcross track so bad I can taste it. Oh well so much for that thanks again and ride safe.
