Anyone know where the Carlsbad sign that was on the highway that said “Motocross Next Right” is now? 

Would look great in a mancave

At one of the first Pala Nationals there was a dude selling bumper stickers made as replicas of that exact sign. Bought about $20 worth of ‘em!

More likely hacked into tiny pieces by man-bun, onesie wearing boys and chicks with hairy pits to be recycled to fund some wacky eco cause.

I just want to know what happened to the light airplane that was crashed and left there besides the entrance track for quite a few years. First time I went there, and saw it,  it was a WTF? moment.

They melted it down to make crack pies for the homeless.

Maybe Tom White (RIP) has it in his possession in his Museum? He has the original sign from Perris Raceway. I was lucky enough to visit the museum awhile back. It is very impressive.

KInda off the original topic....but saw this RE Saddleback news in MXA this month.

Guess the dream of the track re-opening is definitely dead now.

******

From the late 1960s until its closure in 1984, Saddleback Park was one of America’s most famous motocross tracks. It was the largest offroad park on the West Coast with multiple racetracks and 25,000 acres of land. But, liability concerns closed Saddleback in 1984.

It has sat unused and empty for the last 39 years. Owned by the massive Orange County-based Irvine Company, it was donated to Orange County by the Irvine Company in 2014. The county sat on the land for nine years before turning the once-renown motocross track into a natural habitat preserve called the Saddleback Wilderness Park, where hiking and mountain bike trails will be open to visitors. Although most racers from the good old days had always hoped that it would reopen as a motocross track, a wilderness park is better than a housing development and shopping mall.

I’m surprised the Carlsbad sign isn’t hanging in Carlsbad brewery, those guys are full moto. Good place to stop for a beer if you are near the old raceway,

Same here.    Saddleback and Indian Dunes were incredible places.  Glad I grew up in that era.
