Abandoned or forgotten tracks

I like "abandoned and forgotten" subjects - especially this one. There is a website out there regarding this subject, but last time I looked at it, it too appeared abandoned and forgotten. Great pictures. More please!

I would like to see what the Seminole track in South Florida looks like now.

Steel City. Hasn't been that long, but not much of trace left.

We walked Troy, OH a long time ago after the National died. It was so weird to be in the same place and have it just look like a normal field...

Are you talking about the website 28 days later? I believe that site is very active.

This one. Here ya go. http://www.vintagemx.us/forgottentracks.htm

I have no pictures but anyone that lives in Kent, England may have seen or ridden the track that was just past the Sittingborne junction on the M2. You can still see the table top with the tunnel underneath it. Just been left as it was the last time it was used. Not sure when the last time it was used but I rode it in the late 90's, stoney as hell.

IIRC, Steel City was closed because of "impact" on a local water reservoir. I believe it was several years working to prove no impact and the fight became too costly/difficult.

I remember that website now, pretty cool. But if you like looking at disused hospitals, theme parks, sports centres and factories, definitely checked out the website 28 days later.

Do you know the website actual name or link? 28 days later is the first if two movies with 28 weeks later following.

Here's a pretty bad ass look at Speedworld in Arizona.

Amazing how fast the weeds can transform a property, from treasure to trash

That was a cool place but I forgot why they closed. They had a supermoto track, drag strip, MX track and probably more.

The old 125cc USGP and Trans-AMA track called Mid-Ohio in Lexington... All's that is the rise of the old starting gate pad and the old farmhouse behind it, plus an abandoned concession stand....

that

And here's Cowboy Badlands outside Beaumont, Texas...

Do you recall the previous Crick track that was used in the 90's before this one? Think it's been built on now, was a big track with some big hills used for nationals.

Here's Badlands from the starting gate...

Steel City last November...

I see these pics and I immediately want to crack a fresh beer and play the music called " taps ". Shed a little tear as well.

Looks like its ready for a new one. I miss that place so much. Dam it looks like someone built a house on the SX track.

I go past that track most days, I think I rode the last day there in 2002 I think, but it got a bit scarey , was a big 4 wheel drive thing on there at the same time as the bikes!
The one that got me started was the illegal one at Cobham mausoleum, on any Sunday there might have been up to 50 bikes of any type , stolen cars and trikes all going in different directions as fast as they could through the woods with lots of people watching getting drunk and having fires! Needless to say the ambulances made regular visits! It's a nature reserve now and I should imagine if one bike was to go there now it would turn into a major police incident ! Lol

Cool thanks to you both. I didnt get anything when googled it. Who knows, but I love that type of stuff.

Here is a google maps view of the old Hondaland in Simi Valley. I circled the two horseshoes that went up the hill and a few of the tracks that you can still make out across the road.
