I thought Blue Diamond closed?

Englishtown is great. It gets watered and groomed although it gets pretty hammered late in the day because it gets a lot of traffic. There are flaggers and ambulances. Ditto with Walden and Echo Valley, though these two are usually only open on practice days before a race. Orange County is also decent though it seems a bit less prepped and flagged, but it is open regularly. I haven't been to AK but would love to - looks nice. Claverack also looks great but is rarely open and I don't think there is open practice, you just have to race. My days of that are past, but it looks good enough that I flirt with the idea.

I have only been to Rocky Hill once and it was kinda a shit show because of standing water/mud. It was during the week so maybe not a fair comparison, but certainly didn't have the look of a track that gets regular prepping. No flaggers or ambulance, either, if things like safety matter to you. The layout didn't flow well for me in certain parts but it's still a fun track. The good news is that it's open frequently, so it wouldn't really be practical to prep/flag. It's affordable too relative to most others.

I haven't been but there's also Field of Dreams MX in Millville, NJ. It looks very nice, has "yellow flag" traffic signals near jumps, and looks like it's well cared for, and is open frequently. It costs a bit more to ride, though.

There's a bunch of tracks on the edge of PA that I haven't been to but would love to visit.

If you're ever at Englishtown, look for a "modern" YZ125 with 357 on it and come say "Hi!".
