Wife and I are heading to the Homosassa-Crystal River area right after Xmas to visit her sister.
I'd like to take my bike and hit some local tracks in that area for open riding if possible
Going to hit Monster Mountain on the way down.
What are my best options?
I'd like to stay within 2 hours if possible.
Sorry if I asked this before. Just looking for more options.
Thanks in advance!!

Brooksville Wed. & Sat. or Sun.
The Shop
I may only have time to ride 1 or 2 days while I'm there. So I'd like to go to the best one.
Thanks.
East Bay 2 hr drive, same thing membership but way more ride time.
Hard Rock and Bostwick no membership around $25 to ride unlimited time. BUT call 1st for Hard Rock they have not been maintaining the tracks at all. Bostwick is always good but right at your 2 hr 1 way drive time.
If your near a B level rider and the private track owner is going to open for riding I can get you in here at Brooksville. $20 donation and a track that puts all other Florida tracks down several notches.
Hardrock was fun but if they have not been maintaining the tracks then it would be rough to say the least, been a few years since I have been there having moved back up north.
Monster mountain - then head south on 431 to Dothan, AL and hit Riverside MX, then go south to I 10, about 10 or so miles from the interstate is County Line MX in Fountain, FL., from there hit Interstate 10 into mainland FL., once under GA, you can turn off for Bainbridge, Ga (Ezra Lusk track) and/or Cairo GA, MTF and others. Continuing on I 10, hit I 75 and head south. From their you will pass right by Gatorback in Gainsville and then a little further south on I 75 you will pass Reddick, FL, Marion Cty MX. Then Hardrock in Ocala, FL.
There is also Croom riding area (not too bad) right off I75 (this is actually the closest to you. And then their is Bithlo in Orlando, if you take the turn pike this is right at 2 hours from you.
DO NOT got to Dade City, you have been warned.
Either of those 3 should be on your list.
So you are saying the owner of the track is calling the police trying to get riders arrested?
For what?
How the hell does that benefit him as a track owner to have his customers arrested?
About a month later, we go to another race. My 7 yr old daughter rider a little eletric scooter (the only thing legal on the property) to the bathroom and the owner goes off on her, even calling a 7 yr old a bitch! actually "little bitch". Well you can imagine how well this went over with the 6' 3", 240lb 22 yr military veteran that happens to be a cop when not mobilized for the miltary, ......ME. I told him I wanted to speak to him in the roadway, he called the cops.
Cops came and gave me this run around about they were placing me under arrest for disorderly conduct, blah blah blah. Right before they put the cuffs on, I had had enough explaining on how I (my daughter) was the victim and I pulled out my badge. The Major there said "fuck" (no shit) and got in the car and left. The other cop, fresh out of the academy just stood there, I told him that "they were gonna get him hammered" and then he got in the car and drove off.
I then called 911 to have them send me either the deputies back or I wanted to speak with the state troopers to file a statement against the owner for threatening and "assualting" a 7 yr old female (this is important, opposite sex, under 13 makes you registered sex offender if you can prove the victim fealt threatened, since my daughter was seen screaming for daddy by no less than 50 people, I had this covered)
Well the depuuties came back and proceeded to tell me that I COULD NOT sign a statement, (which is illegal, whether you have a case or not, you can always sign a statement and it be forwarded to the states attorney, they refused because if I did and it did not make it to the SA, then the county could be charged for altering/getting rid of court documents. They didn't want the SA to see it, because I knew the law and he would have lost).
I finally left the seen with the intention of calling the state police, had kids in the car and the wife was griping, as always. Monday I recieved a call from (someone claiming to be) the Pasco County Sheriff. Apologizing for the deputies "gross ignorance of the law", however they were still not going to let me sign a statement.
I finally said "fuck it" and we never went back.
This place had a track built by dream traxx literally last week. This weekend is opening weekend. I've been there for riding the trails (now closed till next year from noise complaints) and they were sweet. Good people track should be sweet.
Thanks
Could try that link. It's mobile though because I'm on a phone.

Pit Row
Can Randy be a d!ck at times, sure, but its his track and runs it as he see's fit. I have been thrown out of that place more times than I can remember, but always for something that I brought upon myself. Play by his rules, and things go smooth, cause a problem, and he will put a boot in your ass.
Can't knock Randy for putting on a good show and providing for the riders. My son personally likes to ride much more technical bigger tracks.
