Is there anyone out there with a private track willing to let people come and ride? I am willing to help prep/pay for diesel/pay an entry fee and sign liability form. I enjoy most of the public tracks around here but the prices are starting to get pretty steep. I think High Desert is the cheapest at $25 but that's a 3 hour drive for me so I pay the difference in gas getting there. I know its an expensive sport and tracks need to make money to stay in business but it sucks paying $40-50 to get 2-3 15 minutes sessions for the whole day. On top of that some tracks let quads and even side by sides on the track so it blows out every line that was there. I haven't been down to California to ride but from what i hear most tracks are $25-$30 for practice and the track is open to ride to everyone all day, not broken ups into classes. Why is it that Riverdale is the only track in this area to not split practices up into groups? Anyone else out there get frustrated paying top dollar to sit at the truck for over an hour before getting to go ride again?
Mtn view is garbage now that it’s knee deep firewood.
I’m always content with Albany. I wish they had two mid week practices, Wednesdays were packed all summer and sucks when quads show up. But I always put at least an hour on my bike each time.
Eugene is good but can’t run much, looked like it was going to be epic today.
woodland practices more then they advertised, message or email them directly.
PIR needs more practice days.
Moto 541 looks good but haven’t been.
Eddieville opens soon and is open practice but it’s usually dry and marbly. Unfortunately they’ve been allowing sxs but looks like they do have some Mx only practices. If they would water and prep it could be great but have never seen that in the 15 years I’ve rode there.
Check out bad acres or dog town dirt farm both might be up your alley.

Looking forward to coming up and riding some NW stuff this spring for sure! But it has to be at least above 60! Maybe I’m getting soft lol
Buy it's not always greener on the other side part of my family lives in AZ now. Beg me to move I went down there with bikes last time in '19. It was about the same as here really as far as quality of track. No groups just open riding.
But they just lost like 2 tracks this past year maybe a 3rd. And a few more over the years before that.
One thing I wish tracks would do more around here is make changes more often. Not run the same thing for 10 years. Like 80% of the jumps at grays harbor orv which has turned into wood chip bark crap like Mt view. Doesn't do any good if you don't till it in and mix it up.
I went on a moto trip to Oklahoma a couple months ago. Im doing everything I can to move down there. You can ride 3 different tracks any day of the week, the dirt is good, and you can ride as many laps as you want. Being a motocrosser doesnt make you a second class citizen down there like it does here.
If you can't respect the rules of the track and like stealing track time. Stay the fuck home. Better yet sell the bikes we don't need thiefs at the track.
My dad would’ve slapped me into next Tuesday if I snuck out with Vets or over-40. Some people’s kids…
