As most everyone in the AHRMA and TVRC community knows, 2023 marked the final year for the Diamond Dons Riverfront AHRMA National.

I’m sure most have seen the 2024 AHRMA schedule, but for those who haven’t we are excited to announce that Johnsonville Mx Farm will be filling the September 20-22, 2024 with the HAYSEED AHRMA NATIONAL.  We will be offering Cross Country, Vintage and Post Vintage racing for the weekend.  We will also have a great 26 mile Tiddler Ride layed out. (Possibly 50 mile dual sport) on the backroads around our little town of Yantis.

Although Yantis isn’t the historic destination Jefferson is, we do have a few conveniences, you can ride pit vehicle to, like a Dollar General, Family Dollar and the Yantis Cafe.

Johnsonville Mx Farm is conveniently located south of I-30 15 miles and we are just 45 minutes north of I-20.  Johnsonville Mx Farm is lucky enough to be located in between 4 other towns, 3 of which are County Seats. Historic Sulphur Springs to the north 15 miles is located on I-30 and has everything you need. Three major hotels and other lodging along with Brookshires, Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight & Atwoods.  Also, three major auto parts store chains.  The historic courthouse square has several locally owned restaurants and shops in the 150 year old buildings.
