About Dakota Motocross
Dakota Motocross is the Jamestown area's motocross facility, located at 8222 33rd Street SE in Jamestown, North Dakota. It is a membership based track run for the local riding community, with individual and family memberships available, and it hosts two North Dakota Motocross Association race weekends each season. The club describes its goal simply: a safe, family friendly place to enjoy the sport.
A Local Club Track
This is a community operation rather than a commercial park. Memberships are sold online through the club, and both individual and family options are available, which makes it realistic for a family with more than one rider.
The track runs practice days through the season alongside its race weekends, so members get regular seat time rather than only turning up when a series comes to town. Day passes have also been offered for riders who are not members.
Facilities are basic and practical, with the parking and groundwork a race weekend needs. Track maintenance and race day staffing come from the club, which is how most North Dakota tracks operate.
NDMA Race Weekends
Dakota Motocross is one of the core tracks on the North Dakota Motocross Association circuit, which also runs at Bismarck, Mandan, Dickinson, Glen Ullin and West Fargo.
Jamestown typically gets two points weekends a year, opening the season in early May and closing it in the second half of September, each running across Saturday and Sunday. That makes it the bookend track for the state's motocross season, which is a good draw for a club of its size.
The NDMA circuit has stretched beyond North Dakota at various points, reaching into South Dakota and Montana. The active tracks change from year to year, depending on which clubs have the volunteers to maintain a track and staff the race day posts, so Jamestown's consistent place on the schedule says something about how the club is run.
Getting There
The track is on 33rd Street SE southeast of Jamestown, in Stutsman County in central eastern North Dakota, just off I-94 about halfway between Fargo and Bismarck. That central position is part of why it works as a season opener, since riders from either end of the state can reach it.
Jamestown Speedway, the dirt oval at the Stutsman County Fairgrounds, is also in town, so the area carries two very different motorsports venues.
The track phone is 701-320-3857. Memberships, practice days and race information run through the club website and its Facebook page.
