Road Atlanta

The first big race I saw was the 74 Trans-AMA at Road Atlanta. We headed up to the track about midnight the night before. 6 guys piled into a 72 Pontiac Grand Prix. Got there in the dead of night, but the place was packed and wild. When daylight broke it was foggy. Saw the paved track first, and thought that was the coolest thing I had ever seen until I saw the motocross track. Marty Smith won both motos of the support class, and Roger DeCoster ran Wolsink down from way back in one moto, and also won the other one. I remember Rich Eierstedt(sp?) threw his chain at the bottom of the hill near the starting line. Boy was he pissed. Pretty cool stuff for a 14 yr old.

Is Al still running the place or did Chuck and Lynn take over again?

1.) Hall's Ranch, So. of San Jose, Cal. Long gone. I was a novice when I raced there, but I don't remember any flat ground on that course. All up or down or off-camber, even the pits were on a bit of a slope.

2.) Laguna Seca, The Winter-am track. I think only one race was ever held there. Tim Meyers put it on and I think he was running out of money then. Beautiful grassy hills and big oak trees, sort of a sandy loam soil, really fun.

3.) Sandhill Ranch, I loved the hill.

4.) The old Hangtown track in Plymouth. Lots "O" whoops.

5.) Carnegie Cycle Park, either of the old Inter-am or Trans-am tracks.

6.) Watsonville Fair Grounds. Tight corners and elevation changes.

7.) Santa Maria, Spillway Park. I have no idea if this track is still around. I love whooped out sand tracks and that’s all this track really had to offer. No hills at all, it was layed out in a river bed. The only time this track was smooth was about three laps of the first practice.[img][/img]

I rode that LA Coliseum track in 75 and it was incredible. they ran three qualifiers to make one main event. In my three qualifiers 125 pro I got two 3rds and my chain fell off and I got an 18th. didn't make the main. Back then the 125 elsinores had down pipes and the whoop section there flattened the bottom of the pipe

My fav local tracks back in the day were

valley cycle park in semi-valley

saddleback

indian dunes

MapleHurst Cycle Park

Muntz (Valley Cyle Park) Simi Valley

Bay Mare (sp) Moorpark / Somis First place saw the pros Team Suzuki etc with Shocks moved forward on swingarm on factory bikes for more travel. Went home and promptly welded brackets on swingarm to move shocks forward. Did not work very well. Ah youth!
