Well if they do build houses there, good luck finding home owners insurance that will cover them. There's a reason the track has been unable to open the last 3 months!

Utahn here. So far riding has been a mixed bag when it comes to tracks. In the last few years there have been a few tracks that have disappeared. Trails and free riding have been decent however.
Is Miller Motorsport Park still around with a Moto track? I did a driving school there back in 2015 in saw guys riding Moto... looked like fun!

They have already been built look at this photo of recent development next to the track. City officials are corrupt as fuck letting KB and builders do this. Lake Elsinore was practically founded on MX!

Elsinore's been on borrowed time since the last closure that I remember, sometime around 2005/6. They got a reprieve when the housing market crashed, and all the local developers simply put everything on hold. However, the last couple years have seen a boom in all kinds of construction in the Inland Empire. There's just too much money to be made in developing that land. I think Perris, Milestone and Glen Helen are going to be ok for several years at least, those properties aren't as attractive to the builders.

Yeah that is F-d up of the local Gov imo ,and seeing how close those houses are thats a wrap game over, the amount of noise complaints would be huge , even with idiots knowing they are buying a house near a Motocross track.
Sad but id say its over for that track.

Only reason they stayed re opened for as long as they did was because Pala closed. Pala has been opened again for a few years and most people never went back to Elsinore. That track really sucked it’s about time they closed. Sorry to say.

I have ridden at Lake Elsinore twice on visits to USA, January 16 and January 18, rode vets track only.
Both times other than Pros using the SX track hardly anyone else riding, ( both times were Monday’s).
At the other tracks we rode at, Milestone, Pala, Cahuilla Creek and Glen Helen always heaps of riders.

I rode Elsinore a ton late 90s through the close in what 05?

I tried to get them back in rotation but it seemed like whenever l showed up there it "wasn't open for open riding just SX practice". I once went on a Tuesday and they told me to come back Thurs, so l did and l got the same bullshit. This was about a year and a half ago and after that shit l never went back. If you're a track maybe honor your open times posted on your website and be open more than one or two days a week.

Why would l pass Perris or Milestone were l know l can ride?

I spoke with someone about this today.
Not enviro
Not housing
Not city

The current owner is just a shitty business person and difficult to deal with, Lucas Oil pulling out was the writing on the wall.
Edit, my guess is someone with money and the will to go through the proper channels could get the place reopened in short order, the road block Im told is the current owner.

The amateur track was a blasty blast when prepped right. The couple of GP's they did that linked the tracks together was the most fun you could have at that facility. So long partner....

Southern CA tracks will be demolished and turned into houses due to drones.
Stick with me.
There are 10 drone companies currently that are flying people right now. Once they become public, people can live further out and take a 20 minute drone ride to the city or wherever. It’s very real and California is going to be the test. I assume Mx tracks are attractive because of water, land, and road ways. Just my two cents.

There is a big difference from gnarly and not watered on hot days dusty as he'll and big ass boulders on the track.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that track there went under. It wasn't great. The track was always lackluster and dangerous, especially during the outdoor nationals that were held during 2013-2015.

So let's see, we've recently over the past few years lost; The Ranch/Ryno Land, Star West, Piru, Zaca Station, Competitive Edge and now Lake Elsinore. The last 3 in just a few months. .

What we have left; Perris, Milestone, Fox Raceway/Pala, Cahuilla, Glen Helen, Sunrise/Racetown 395 and LACR.
Add AV Motoplex to that that list too

I've seen the two seaters like ehang 184 but not mass transit drones. Ehang 184 is pretty cool

I thought there first mistake was sneaking dirt into the track during the night, for the Ama national. After that fiasco the city and the army corps of engineers shut down answer racing. Who wanted to bring in dirt and elevation.

Elsinore will be missed. I live in Orange County and Elsinore was the closest mx track as it only took a little less than 1 hour to get there. The place definitely went downhill the past 3 years and due to rumors of the track sucking, many riders stopped going there, including me. Pretty sure houses will replace the land the track sits on pretty soon. But the Summerly owned housing property falls on the opposite side of the dirt retaining wall that borders the track. So I expect a new housing builder company will purchase the land and build on it eventually.

And this is more than just a rumor. I know a few in meetings with the city and county on this. What I think is the biggest issue is getting the right compounds of soil to make it better. I missed a meeting Saturday I could not make. But let’s just say these guys know Racing and Dirt.
