About Arroyo Seco Raceway
Overview
Arroyo Seco Raceway is a road course and drag strip at Akela Flats near Deming in Luna County, New Mexico, beside Interstate 10 roughly halfway between Deming and Las Cruces, and the circuit is visible to traffic on the interstate. It is one of only two permanent road courses in New Mexico and is open all year for testing, public and private events. Outside scheduled events the track is open to the public for a daily fee per driver or rider, and its own motor club offers members regular track access. It is also the home track of the ASMA motorcycle road racing series.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The road course is 1.4 miles long and the venue describes it as having 12 complex turns. The full course includes a tight set of esses and a chicane, which a shorter 1.1-mile course leaves out. The quarter-mile drag strip shares its asphalt with the road course and doubles as its back straight, and an infield motocross section can be combined with the road course for supermoto events. The fastest time-attack records stand at a little over 1 minute 11 seconds, set in an Evo IX. A time-attack day runs after a mandatory drivers' meeting.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
Besides the road course, the venue runs a drag strip with Friday-night drag racing and bracket racing, supported in 2026 by Turbo Garage. The Arroyo Seco Motor Club presents itself as the motorsport playground of southern New Mexico and west Texas; members pay monthly on six-month or yearly plans without a buy-in, can use the circuit year-round and can organise private events. ASR Super Lap, a time-attack series created in 2007 by the raceway and True Form Racing, groups cars into three classes by their weight-to-power ratio and awards points only on treaded DOT-approved tyres. The venue also offers professional driving instruction and hosts sports car racing, motorcycle track days and private rentals.
History
The circuit opened in 1998 under the name Arroyo Seco Motorplex. In 2003 it was bought by the Double R & T Corporation, whose majority owner and president, Roger Heemsbergen, also runs the ASMA motorcycle racing association. The new owners lowered the hire rates, which helped make the track a popular testing venue. ASMA motorcycle road racing and track days are held at Arroyo Seco, and Friday-night drag racing started in April 2025.
