Rode Carlsbad, and Saddleback back in the day. (Though 125's had a ride around on Banzai hill)

The old grass covered Unadilla would be the obvious choice. 

(My buddies and I always fantasized about a moto attack on the Carlton oaks golf course in Santee.)

Rio Bravo. Hands down. Escape Country is a close second. 

And, more so than Saddleback, Carlsbad, or Indian Dunes—which I also rode.

I had mentioned Carlsbad in an earlier post because I never rode there. 

A local track I used to ride that is gone that I would love to ride again is Indian Creek MX in Cullman Alabama. Lots of memories from that track!

X-Track in the eastern suburbs of Atlanta

ICR in Macon GA

Blue Ridge Motocross in North GA which I think was only open a few years in the early 00s.. massive up & downhill sections, primo dirt.

Blue Ridge was my favorite track ever. Loved that place. Not sure why it closed. 
 

I'd heard that the owner had serious health issues and the track was a bucket list item.

Nothing legendary...but I'd like to have another go at the old Boy Scout operated track at Longview TX.  Loved that place. 1975 or so.

Back when I was young and dumb, I always fantasized about sending out flyers anonymously for a race at our golf course here in town, staking out a track in the middle of the night and see what happened. 

Back in the 60’s a local guy parked a VW bug there in the middle of the night and covered it with aluminum foil. People thought a UFO landed there!

Some might say Namur, and it was indeed awesome. But personally, I’d want to go back to some of the little schoolboy tracks I raced in my first year. Nobody will know them, but they hold a lot of nice memories for me.

Mosier Valley and Kenworthy’s. Couldn’t beat the early 2000’s GNC at Mosier or the 3 foot tall grass on the first lap of practice at the the Kenworthy’s grass race! 

2nd on Moiser Valley. Go back to ‘98 and finally nail the timing on the infield rhythm section. I got that thing right maybe once…

Sorry to hear that. They were very nice people. I think they had some wolf hybrids on the property that were really cute.

Wasn’t it simply called “The Ridge” sometimes? They had some uphill doubles that were so much fun.

Rio Bravo is still open and not much has changed. You could ride it any time.

 

I'm from the Houston area and there were a lot of great tracks at one time. Most have closed. I'd love to go back and ride some of them. 

 

Highlands MX in Crosby

Cowboy Badlands in Beaumont

Cornerstone MX on the NW side
