The BMX track is located at 5401 Lafayette Street just south of Hwy 237 in Santa Clara.

There is no minimum or maximum age requirement.  Must be able to ride a two wheel bicycle.

We are sanctioned by the American Bicycle Association, now known as USABMX.  BMX racing is now an Olympic Sport and has hundreds of riders from in and around Santa Clara with thousands more statewide, nationwide and worldwide.

Fees:  You must be a USABMX member to ride on the track. Yearly USABMX membership fee: $60.00 for the first family member, $55 for second family member, $50 for third and additional family members. There is a $10.00 per rider race fee each race night.  The fee for Practice only is $3.00 per day.   We do offer a one-day trial membership for first time riders that can only be used once.   The trial membership waives the annual membership fee, however you still must pay the $10.00 race fee.

We have loaner bikes available for a fee of $5 per night, and we have loaner full face helmets and jerseys for no charge. ( We ask that you leave a Driver License or similar type of ID when using loaner equipment.

We also serve hot food, drinks and snacks at the snack bar!
