About Smoking Pistons Racepark
Description: Smoking Pistons Racepark was started on the 6th December 2010. It was formerly known as Wildthing Raceway and Xumbugs before that. The track itself has been at it's current location on the Corner of Kliprivier and Swartkoppies street near Alberton for over 13 years.

The new owners have one vision in mind and that is to create a family park with numerous off-road activities and still be a Premier Motocross and Supercross track in South Africa.

In a short time the facility has already gone through some major changes. The senior MX track has been completely revamped to within in official spec to make it a premier racing facility. With that they have also built a proper junior MX track that until now had not existed at the venue.

Their latest undertaking has been the brand new development of an AMA style Supercross track that is now open for riding and will soon be a race venue.

Supercross Track
Track Description:
Smoking Pistons has recently built a first class SX track with the guidence of Dirt worx in the USA. The triples and rhythm sections are exactly as you would find them in the USA. The only difference is that the whoops have been tamed down for the SA experience. The track is challenging even for the best in SA, but is rideable for anyone who just wants to putt around. The finish triple is pretty big with no room for error. There is one other triple that only really the 450's can clear, as it is right out of a corner. The rest of the jumps are do-able even for a 65cc.

Track Specs:
Distance: Approx. 752m
Track Direction: Clockwise
Start Type: N/A
Soil Type: Hard Pack

Senior MX Track

Track Description:
The senior track is the old quad track which was "Wildthing". The track has been transformed into a full on MX track, without the BIG wall berms that were around the whole original track. All the turns are flat corners without the option of berms. This makes the track really rutty in the turns during a race. The turns do tend to form 1 lined initially, but as the track gets rougher, the riders venture outwards.
The soil is really hard pack "blue groove" when it isn't ripped and wattered, but on race day or prepped practices, the track is loamy and really enjoyable. The track is one of the faster tracks in Gauteng, with fast flowing sections and one really long uphill drag.

There are a few fun tabletops. The finish tabletop is a fair size and fun to jump. It is very safe though. There is a long tabletop in the middle of the track that is quite a challenge for a new rider, but there are two small step-ups that are fun for the new guys. The start is a slippery concrete one and quite an art to pull off fast and straight.

Track Specs:
Distance: Approx. 1.72km
Track Direction: Anti-clockwise
Start Type: Smooth Concrete
Soil Type: Hard Pack

Junior MX Track (50cc)
Track Description:
The 50cc track is definitely one of the fastest. They have made an effort to slow the track down by building in a few more jumps recently, but still remains fairly fast. The track only has four straights, but they are long and NOW full of obstacles. All the jumps are fairly easy to clear and seems to be a great track for all junior riders to start their MX carreer. The track is hardly ever ripped and remains hardpack for most of the season.


Track Specs:
Distance: Approx. 650m
Track Direction: Clockwise
Start Type: Smooth Concrete
Soil Type: Hard Pack
