Google Earth has a cool feature that allows you to go back as far as 1995 to see historical images. I've always wondered about the exact layout of the track. This image makes it a bit more clear. I also found Kenny Zhart's old SX and outdoor track that I used to ride back in 98-99.
Palm Ave today
The Shop
Could you look back to '95 at this spot? This was an old SX track where I used to watch Bradshaw ride...
Mo people, mo problems...
I grew up about 15 minutes from Simi Valley (where Hordaland was). The one and only time I rode back there was in '95 as a young teen with some friends, we got chased out after only about an hour or two.
Rode Zhart's a bunch once I was older and had my license. I just came across a picture of me from there i'll have to dig it up. I went to college in San Diego and rode Palm Ave as well as the old El Cajon MX track a few times a month. Good times!
I was born/raised in Minnesota, but rode Saddleback Park in 78. (Saw my first small Japanese pickup that trip also!) Wonder if Saddleback shows up in 1995. Progress sucks! Except for this google earth thing, this could get addicting, very cool!!

Pit Row
I have no idea even where in So-Cal it was, just some good memories, and several pictures my dad took of me (1976 YZ125) and my younger bother (XR75) racing the California dudes! (got my ass handed to me BTW, lol)
Maybe some locals could dig up those coordinates?

Ah, the memories!
Spent a lot of time in the hills of SCV growing up. Took my kid there to ride the SX track a few times, but he was on an 80 and wasn’t ready yet.
Mike and Jeff Alessi use to drive out to ride Kenny’s tracks, they were so beat down, borderline dangerous !
To switch gears a bit, found this on MXA regarding Saddleback as it is today. The place is still alive with moto and mother nature has taken her back. So much for the tree huggers saying that motorcycles will scar the land.
