Other Names

Blythe Raceway

Last Known StatusVariable Schedule  (open during scheduled race events)

Formerly known as Blythe Raceway, this offroad park was originally established in 1979 by Shorty Winkler as a place to ride for his son. The track quickly became popular with the locals, and during the 80's the park hosted several NMA Qualifiers, the Kyle Flemming Memorial and local motocross races.

Eventually the land was sold and after remaining dormant for over 15 years, the property was purchased by a family friend and is in the process of re-opening as a memorial to Shorty. The track is now part of the AZOP and WORCS circuit that runs races that are open to dirt bikes, UTV's, ATV's, big bikes and peewees during the winter months.

The park is open to all riders and campers and is available for private rental. Call before you haul.
