B-52 Hangar MX
What riders say
B-52 Hangar MX is a fully indoor, climate-controlled motocross facility built inside a former Chanute Air Force Base aircraft hangar (Hangar 3) at 909 Pacesetter Drive in Rantoul, IL, about 15 miles north of Champaign-Urbana. The hangar provides over 200,000 sq ft of covered space and a replica supercross-style track with ten 20-foot-wide lanes. Because it is indoor and climate-controlled, it is a year-round, all-weather destination and is especially busy through the Midwest winter, slowing in summer when riders return to outdoor home tracks. It hosts open practice, MX training days, racing, and signature races like the Pitbike Throwdown, and offers training following a structured curriculum (body position, braking, cornering, jumping).
The track is purpose-built for all ages and skill levels, using specialist dirt sourced from leftover material after construction of the Rantoul Family Sports Complex, chosen to work well indoors. Riders describe a good mix of jumps, berms, and technical/supercross-style sections.
As an indoor SX-replica venue it offers a tighter, more technical layout than a wide-open outdoor national track, and the supercross-style features reward riders comfortable with jumps and rhythm sections. As a managed indoor facility it is especially well-suited to structured training and winter riding.
