For those sport bike, motard, ATV, or dirtbike racers out there, where do you go to race? There are several great tracks around the NWA area where you can satisfy your need for speed! Racing on a circuit, or even just on the occasional weekend, can be a great way for beginners to see if they have what it takes to race, or for experienced racers to hone their skills. Many tracks sponsor racing schools for every level of rider, which can be beneficial not only to your track skills, but also your street riding ability. Whatever your skill level, if racing is something you may be interested in, there are plenty of ways to get into it!
For Sportbikes!
Hallet Motor Racing Circuit is a 1.8 mile, 10 turn road racing course located in Northeastern Oklahoma (only a few hours’ drive from NWA!).

Organizations that run at Hallett include Competition Motor sports Association (COMMA), Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), Central Motorcycle Riders Association (CMRA), and Local Porsche, Shelby, Alfa Romeo, Corvette, BMW, Viper and Ferrari clubs.
Motards!
Oklahoma SuperBikers is a great club of motard enthusiasts that race in Tula and Oklahoma City.
