Hello dynoman! If you go to my photos #1 and #4 thats chicken farm, one of the best tracks ever. When I was racing every weekend I would sneak through the woods to get into the track because the gate was locked and practice there all the time for years.

yes that track was one of the best used to race there all the time my parents loved it cause you could park up top and sit and watch pretty much the whole track i remember leading the motocross part of the mini olympics everylap and falling with two turns to go and letting Brian Stanley get ahead of me at the checkerd flag that was a bummer but at the end of day Dave Jordan came to me and offered me a free ride with Kawasaki i also was offered a ride form Cliff Lett from Yamaha i went with the Kawasaki

Cocoa would be Diamond Back
Pompano would be Hiatt Cycle Park

If it was an NMA series, chances are the other track was Clewiston

The first time I raced in Fla was at Chicken Farm. One thing that stands out (besides how rough in was compared to TN tracks), was Monte McCoy slapping a tree limb jumping out of the pit.

Chicken Farm was cool. The Mini Olympics there was great (Chicken Farm had it's regular racing and also was part of Mini Olympics - a series of four different races at each of four different locations in Florida). Much like and surely had everything to do with Loretta Lynn Amature Championships. These races and the Ponca City Nationals of Mini Bike Championship AMA fame. Those were the days when MOTO X EXPLODED and we got to be a part of it. It really was special.

Chicken Farm was definitly my favorite MX track I ever rode.
Also rode my one and only FTR Hare Scrambles race there.
The course included the MX track and then off into the woods for 4 or 5 miles
and down into another pit West of the track's pit . (Old mining pits I guess)
They had different classes and also a team trophy overall. I was on Cahill's Yamaha's
B team with Paul Ridgeway. I think the A guys were Stan Yabczanka, Beau Bohannon,
and a couple other Yamaha riders. We camped with Russ Human and his dad Ronnie.
Their Suzuki team did well because Russ was a great Hare Scrambles racer (as well as MX) , his dad rode the senior class. And his dad's girlfriend , Nancy Hernandez used to win the ladies class in FTR all the time.

Can't talk about Monte Hoge without remembering the Chariot trailers. All the fast guys seemed to have at least one of them.
