Are these the not-so-secret test tracks for the factories? Go to google maps and enter these coordinates:
33.784444,-117.469817. Really bored and found them after watching that Ricky D video. There are 3 tracks there.

I spent a Saturday night a few months ago looking at a bunch of the tracks I have raced at over the years. Its amazing how easy it is to find tracks.

Here's another one to chew on......... 13638 N Red Bud Trl, Buchanan, MI

motocrosstracks.com or something similar had a giant google map embed with all the tracks and such... i believe all the factory tracks where pinpointed at one time. people even posted pictures of hondas actual "private" outdoor facility. those sx tracks arent really private, a lot of people show up everyday with there pickup trucks just to watch the guys practice.

they do however have private tracks in places you would never think of. i know of a sand track in ontario thats illegal but the best sand practice and all those guys go there, also, the hills by starwest... theres probably 5-10 in the hills that are private, no jumps and no one bothering you out there..

You would be amazed at how many AWESOME private tracks are out there...

When I take my students out to do some local flying, I see tracks all the time that I didn't even know existed, and I know most of the heavy hitters in the local racing scene and where their tracks are, so it is a surprise to see so many that you don't know about.

I've even found a full-on supercoss track that way in the middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma!

I know the old Hondaland in Simi Valley is gone but does anyone know the exact spot where it used to be? I was always curious about it but was never able to find it. Man, if dirt could talk. MC, RJ, JMB, Bailey and who knows who else rode there. There must have been some memorable moments there.

It was about a mile north of Kuehner Drive is what i was told a long time ago. The videos i have seen of Honda land looks like it would be in that area.

Does anyone here own this land or know who does?

34.261629,-118.974933

I drive by it all the time when I go from the Valley up to my hometown of Ventura. I could see it from the highway but I wasn't sure if it was actually a track but then this weekend I saw someone riding on it. I got super excited. LOL.

And here's another track you can see from the 118 out towards Ventura.
34.263646,-119.097692
