Description: TRACKS & TRAILS: 

MAIN TRACK 
The main motocross track is approximately 1.3 miles long and has elevations of over 100 feet.  This track is quite technical, with virtually every type of obstacle you can imagine.  It is hard pack, with some loamy corners.  The signature obstacle is the "Water Tower Jump", which is a 100+ foot high hill with a jump trajectory of over 100 feet. It also has several uphill step-ups, plus some very fast downhill sections.  Recommend a hard pack tire. 

SUPERCROSS 
We have a sand based supercross track for practice. 

PEE WEE TRACK 
The hard pack track was specially designed for our 50cc riders.  It is challenging, but safe, and provides the young riders with a variety of obstacles.  Located next to the bleachers, this track is spectator friendly.  If you've got a little one just starting out, or a "mini hot shoe", this is the track for you. 

MOUNTAIN BIKE COURSE & TRAILS 
Hardrock is one of the premier mountain bike facilities in the Southeast with over 6 miles of trails for cross training. Two races of the Florida State Championship Series are run at hardrock. It is open for practice as noted below. 

In addition, Hardrock Cycle Park has the capabilites to offer on a scheduled bases, the following: 

  • Vintage Motocross Racing
  • Hare Scrambles and Cross Country
  • Oval Dirt Track

GENERAL FACILITIES: 

Hardrock is a couple of steps above most motocross tracks when it comes to amenities.  There are indoor restrooms with showers, and even a video game room for the kids.  RV hookups are plentiful (over 50), and at $15 a night they are also a bargain.  You can also camp for $10 per night without the RV hook up.  Plenty of pit space, with some trees for those hot summer days.  A parts and accessory shop is on site, which also has snacks and drinks available for practice sessions.  Full food menu is available at all races.   Barry Mayo, who is well known among race fans throughout the United States is now managing the Hardrock facility, and has already made a number of very positive changes. Look for many more changes over the next year, including lights on the main motocross track with night-time practice and racing by the summer of 2000.
