What riders say

Amherst Meadowlarks is a long-running (established 1954), private, family-oriented motorcycle club in Lorain County, northern Ohio, just southwest of Cleveland. Sources describe it variously as OMA- and CRA-sanctioned, and it has a deep grassroots-racing reputation in the region. The property spans roughly 25 acres and includes a full-size motocross track, a separate peewee track for younger and beginning riders, and harescramble trail sections, plus a clubhouse with a kitchen, meeting area and fireplace.

The main track is described as a mix of jumps, elevation changes and technical sections, with the layout reworked seasonally around the race and maintenance calendar. Terrain is characterized as almost all loose dirt at modest elevation (660-690 ft), with both many small and many large jumps and bermed corners. The amateur terrain is rated mostly intermediate, with some beginner and expert sections, making it versatile across skill levels and well-suited to a club that runs everything from peewees to expert classes.

Sentiment is strongest on Facebook, where the page shows roughly 86% recommend across about 45 reviews, reflecting a positive, community-driven member base; the club is repeatedly framed as family-oriented with poker runs, corn roasts and steak fries alongside racing.
