Birch Creek Motorsports Park

Birch Creek Motorsports Park in Sutherlin is one of Virginia's premier AMA-sanctioned motocross venues, operating since 1993 on natural-terrain red clay with the kind of professional grade preparation that attracts national and regional racers across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. The signature feature is 'Mt. Deacon', the famous over-under bridge named after original owner Walter 'Deacon' Jones, who pioneered the facility. Two main tracks operate: a 1.1-1.5-mile natural-terrain MX (length varies by configuration) and a lighted ATV TT National track. The dirt is the famous southwestern Virginia red clay, with tabletops, whoops, and sand sections built into the layout. $20 per day to ride. Full season runs March through November. Hot showers in the restroom block and concessions on race weekends. Hosts AMA Pro Motocross events and Extreme Dirt Track (EDT) racing. Sits 15 miles from the Virginia-North Carolina border in Pittsylvania County, central southern Virginia. From Danville it's 20 minutes north; from Greensboro, NC, an hour northeast; from Roanoke, two hours southeast.
