Pleasanton Motocross Grounds

About Pleasanton Motocross Grounds

Pleasanton Motocross Grounds, known as PtownMX, is a motocross facility about 20 miles north of Kearney, Nebraska, just off the Interstate 80 exit at the Archway. It hosts racing with three separate organizations, offers dry primitive camping nearly year round, and holds both a state championship and a Top 10 Shootout on its calendar. It is a closed course on private property, so permission to enter is required before you arrive.

Three Sanctioning Bodies, One Track

Most small motocross tracks run with one organization. PtownMX runs with three.

The Nebraska Cornhusker Motocross Association brings the state series and its full class structure. The Great Plains Vintage Motocross Series brings vintage racing, which is a growing part of the sport and rare to find in this part of the country. The American Motorcyclist Association sanction covers AMA racing and membership, with event membership available through the track’s own promoter code.

That combination means riders of very different kinds turn up here. A modern 450 rider, a kid on a 65 and someone racing a restored machine from decades ago can all find a class at the same venue.

Race results and rider sign up are handled through an online race management platform, so entries and results are posted digitally rather than on a clipboard at the gate.

Championship Events

Two events stand out on the schedule.

The State Championship brings the Nebraska series to its conclusion at PtownMX, and the Top 10 Shootout is the track’s own signature race. Training camps also run at the facility, giving riders structured coaching rather than only open practice.

The track publishes live weather from its own on site weather station, which is a genuinely useful detail. Rather than guessing from a regional forecast, a rider can check conditions at the track itself before loading the truck.

Camping and the Setting

Dry primitive camping is available nearly year round, weather permitting. That extends the useful season well beyond race weekends and makes a multi day trip easy for riders traveling in from across Nebraska.

Primitive means no hookups, so plan accordingly. The trade off is a quiet setting and the ability to be at the track first thing without a drive.

Rules You Must Follow

The track is direct about this, and so is this page.

Pleasanton Motocross Grounds is a closed course on private property. Riders, spectators and visitors all need permission before entering the premises, and entering without it is treated as trespassing.

All riders must wear helmets and sign a waiver. The track runs in one direction only, and riding it backwards is prohibited. Insurance is not offered for riders, spectators or workers, and everyone on the property assumes their own risk of injury, death and property damage.

None of that is unusual for a private motocross facility, but it is stated plainly and it is enforced.

Getting There

The track is near Pleasanton in Buffalo County, about 20 miles north of Kearney off I-80 at the Archway exit. That is one of the easiest tracks in Nebraska to reach from the interstate, which is part of why it draws riders from across the state.

Memberships, waivers, event registration and contact information all run through the track website, and updates are posted across its social accounts under the PtownMX name.
