Byhalia MX
Lakeland MX...far as I know this was the original Mid South MX track.
661 MX in Pontotoc
Dry Hill MX
Rose MX
Hidden Valley MX
Burnt Hill MX
There was a track in Frayser off 51 at one time but the name escapes me.

Current 450 SX pro Alex Ray hails from Milan TN. I supplied his bike last year until he signed with Cycle Trader Yamaha.

This is what i mean i did not grow up with Moto X so i have not got the back ground needed to list facilities in this form of Motorsports. Will add those.

Have also been informed of Moto X facilities at MMSP and in Olive Branch and two different tracks in Independence Ms.

Was the lakeland Moto X associated with the drag strip complex or the Speedbowl complex. Or was it a stand alone?

I think that Lakeland was part of the drag strip complex. I raced at the MMSP track a few times but it was short lived. The Olive Branch track and Independence tracks are and were more practice tracks.
