27963 Budd’s Creek Rd. | Mechanicsville, MD 20659
Track Description
Budd’s Creek is another pure MX track, natural terrain obstacles,
off camber turns, and huge up and down hills. Right off the bat you’ll
understand exactly what we mean by “Pure MX”, as the short start
stretch ends with a high-speed downhill plunge. As you take the first left
you head up one of the most famous hills in MX history
“Henry Hill” (named after Doug
Henry’s ill fated launch off the
top in the nineties). Once safely down
the other side you’ll approach the
second in a series of uphill, downhill,
off camber configurations. Promoter Jonathon
Beasley reverses the track direction each
year, so it’s pointless to give you
a turn by turn description, but the track
is comprised primarily of tabletops with
the exception of a couple of step ups and
two doubles. The soil here is absolutely
perfect. Budd’s Creek is not only
one of the most technically challenging
tracks in the series; it’s also one
of the most scenic.
Driving Directions
Option 1 from the North; turn left on Maryland Highway 5 South out
of Waldorf, MD. Continue straight on Highway 5 for 16 miles to Maryland
Highway 236. Turn right on to 236 for 6 miles until it ends at Maryland
Highway 234. Turn right on to 234 and the track is 1/8th of a mile on the
left. Please use caution for Amish carriages on 236.
Option 2 from the North, using U.S. Highway 301; turn left onto Maryland
Highway 6 at LaPlata. Travel 8 miles to Trinity Church Road, turn right
and travel 6 miles to the end of the road at Maryland Highway 234. Turn
left and travel 1 mile, the track will be on the right. This is the least
used and fastest way to get to highway 301 after the race.
From Points South, follow I-95, 30 miles North of Richmond to Route
207; turn right, this becomes U.S. Highway 301. Travel North 5 miles
into Maryland, and turn right on Maryland Highway 234. The track is 10
miles on the right.

Misc
The promoters have been known to book dirt track events, as well as
other misc. races to coincide with the GNC event. The racing may get
loud and last well into the night, Dirt Track fans also have a tendency
to wander the pits unsupervised late into the night, so guard your belongings.
Amish country is beautiful and right around the corner from the track,
take the time to check it out, but be weary of the Amish carts while
driving. |
