Back in the 70's and 80's in Lake County California, best known for being home to California's largest natural lake- Clearlake, was home to an outdoor motocross mecca called "Oasis Motocross". During that time, riders like Dick Mann and Brad Lackey were among the literally hundreds of riders that flocked to the track to ride & race. In the mid 80's the track was shut down, for a variety of reasons.
In 2009, this track is being resurrected by local Lake County AMA pro Jeff Mann Jr. (www.jeffmannracing.com) The facility should be open to public around April 2009; and will include a full blown SX track (Pro license required), an outdoor motocross track, a quad track, pee-wee track, WORCS off road course, and even a paintball gaming area.
The facility will also provide a full pro motocross training facility that will include a gym, massage therapist, trainers, nutritionists and everything else the aspiring privateer professional could need in order to make to the top of their game. We envision a westcoast version of the Millsaps Training Facility.
In addition to the MX program, we are also going to be seeking the support of the freestyle community with a freestyle compound, possibly even including a foam pit.
Here is a Google map of the location:

The main track is already "roughed in" and we test rode it yesterday. Below is a webpage of pics of the area. Pay attention to that long near vertical uphill in the background.......devil:
Currently the track you are seeing is over two miles long with lap times approaching 3 minutes, adjustments will be made however, so final layout will likely differ.

I will be working on a website for the facility with all the details as they develop.
I will be seeking sponsors/advertisers for the facility, so pass this info on to companies/vendors you think may be interested.
PM me for further info or my contact phone/email if needed.
