Look's like sunrise is under contract and the group purchasing it reached out to Sunrise facebook page for some feedback.

With a few tracks coming back and some new ones being added are great and to have options surely make us spoiled in Southern California!

That is great news. Me and mattyhamz2 were just talking about Sunrise on another thread a couple weeks ago. Spent so many great weekends there from 85’s to 450’s. I only rode it once after it reopened as sunrise but it was a lot of fun. That property has potential if people will make the drive up there to ride. Is there an actual reopening date?

Would love to see it come back! I think they need to go a bit less jumpy with the layout on the main though to draw more people, but maybe I'm wrong. I didn't have an issue with it... Just heard a lot of complaints.

I didn't hear om opening date, just that they're under the contingency phase and wanted Sunrise mx to post on there Facebook on hearing any suggestions on the track from the followers(I dont have Facebook) but looks as it might be opening up soon!

If they could open up the vet track layout that would be awesome, it was pretty tight and jumpy as well. I heard about this a couple days ago and hear it’s moving in a positive direction and would be stoked if it opens again... it was the closest good track to Vegas!

Drove by the facility about a month ago. All the tracks were still in place. I was curious why they didnt grade the property but now it makes sense. Please bring this track back!

Yes please open again. Always good to have more options to ride. Especially since I have to travel from Vegas.

Would be stoked to ride Sunrise Raceway again!

Grew up racing there with CMC!

Who remembers the huge pit that you jumped in and out of?!

Or that neverending section of turn rollers near the start straight?!

My request would be for a good main, vet and kids track.

And how about a snack shack modeled after The Cocky Bull with rare steaks and cold beers!

I've heard about that pit from my dad many many times. He was always racing with CMC. You guys probably raced together at some point

Zeke never raced against your pops... pretty sure i did though... early 90's lots of CMC and GFI.. raced sunrise a lot. also did some vet x when it was 395 in 04-05... loved that place.

there's a better chance that you and zeke raced against each other, don't let him fool you. he just thinks he's old school Smile he rips on that 500 though.....

You’re Sgt. Joe Friday’s worst nightmare with that gaggle of facts.

Pretty sure I raced your Grandpa on wooden bicycles with square wheels.

We worked for the same company back in the late 80’s. Jeff Barbacovi worked there too. Good times going to LACR back then, loved watching the races.
