Remember Sprockets when it was a TT track. Lived about 20 minutes away. My older brother in the sweeper.

Was. Bobby is no longer involved. Complete new owners.

Still there, it just has a cogeneration plant built on top of it, the go kart track is still up and running also. Many memories at Sprockets

Did you happen to race the mx at the Ridgecrest fair grounds, it had one race that was a tag team race, through the rodeo arena and just weird. Rode a lot of Edwards races also... back in 74-76

I did not, but I remember it. There were also regular races held there in the late 70s. I went to Edwards also. You ever race Sage Park before it closed?

Yeah, I'm so upset I didn't have the forethought to hang onto it. Dad sold it at a garage sale for like $75. Had another one a few years earlier with Super Mario on top but he was really hitting his stride with his artwork when I got the punk rock skull.

Sage was about ten miles south of Ridgecrest on 395, just off the west side of the road. You can still see some remains to this day. I don't remember when it closed, but it was before I started racing. I did attend the races there at least several times. They always had a good crowd.

Was planning on heading out to the Kern County track today , so I called the track to make sure that they’d be open. No such luck ☹️ Apparently the MX operation is shut down at this time. The latest person that was renting the space and running the MX track has moved on. The track rep that I spoke with made it sound like a future MX track is not out of the question.

Small world, I'm from Ridgecrest as well, born there in 89. I used to trail ride from my dads house near the college out to Sage where my brother would be waiting with a gas can so I could do motos. Tons of good riding out there. That whole stretch from Ridgecrest up to Reno is near and dear to my heart.

I believe its stuck in limbo, because the city wants the owners to fund a off-ramp from the 71 to the track entrance.
