High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania is one of the true landmarks of American motocross. Tucked into the rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, the track has been hosting professional racing since 1977 and remains one of the most beloved venues on the entire circuit.
The Track
High Point is a natural terrain track in the truest sense — the course works with the existing topography of the Pennsylvania hills rather than against it. Riders climb and descend genuine elevation throughout every lap, navigating deep natural berms that have been carved by decades of racing, tabletops that launch riders twenty feet into the air, and sweeping downhill sections where speeds reach levels that would be impossible on a flat track.
The soil at High Point is a distinctive Pennsylvania clay that develops deep, aggressive ruts as the day progresses. By the second 450MX moto, the track is dramatically different from what it looked like during practice — riders who can read and adapt to a rutted track have a significant advantage over those who struggle when their preferred line disappears.
"High Point in the afternoon, second moto, ruts three feet deep — that's real motocross. That's what the sport is actually about."

Mount Morris draws one of the most passionate crowds on the circuit. The natural amphitheater created by the hillside terrain means fans can watch multiple sections of the track simultaneously — a visual experience that differs completely from the arena supercross environment. Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland all send their faithful to High Point every June.
