Langtown MX

There was some serious bar banging going down at that track !

Always wondered what happened to that place.

I too remember reading about it in the MX mags many years ago. I believe that they had to stop the MX racing, but still did some bicycle racing there.

I was lucky enough to race there as a kid. I have no idea what place I finished, but on the over bridge I remember my friend saying "spray the girls!" (last pic)

I'm middle facing the camera (black/blue helmet).. if you look on the left that's Cole Seely in the black tshirt






2nd from the left laughing because I was probably aiming at the hottest chick in the crowd I could find

Screwydilla in Olympia, WA was much the same, same time period and atmosphere.

I was fortunate enough to have raced at Langtown and Screwydilla. They were both very cool.

Awsome thanks for sharing the pics
I would have rather done that than raced local races on my CR80

This is a pic of my brother-in-law at Langtown. He raced at both places as well.

Lucky guy, i have family in the area you live in , i have spent a lot of time in Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln.

I never knew what this was called but remember clips of it in a late 90's early 00's moto movie that I would play on repeat as a kid. Anybody know which movie? Maybe a Mini Warriors?

I remember Lang town from a random feature either on Moto world or just from a supercross broadcast. I rewatched it a million times.

Last I heard, the Langtown track was more recently used for Cyclocross events.

Such a cool event, wish I could’ve experienced it. I’ve got bikes and am willing to travel if something like this ever happens again somewhere!

Mini Warriors 2 I believe.

Im kinda surprised that more people haven't shared pictures maybe i should have done a poll asking
If people new of it or not, right now im getting the feeling
That more people on here aren't familiar with it than are.
Im not sure when it stopped. but maybe its just been long enough that most are to young.

I remember reading about it in MXA, then finding some footage on YouTube a while back, it looked rad...

Yeah i thought so too , thanks to those who shared pics
I bet Cole Seeley has some cool pics from there.
Now that i see that he raced there.

From what i remember , it was just a house in a regular neighbourhood, and all the people showing up to watch killed it. Someone found the place on google earth on another thread.

We went in 1997 with a xr100 cr80 conversion I built. I rode the amateur modified class well my friend James rode my bike in the pro class.

James With the Honda gear and Ryan Hughes on the KX conversion in the Thor gear.

Craig built the best mini conversions and no one rode them better than James P!

I dont know why but that just seems like paradise to me

I want to recreate that, even if it will never be as grand as that again

Found my vhs video of the 1997 race.

Those pictures are so cool. I need to do something like this. I have four acres and a supportive wife.

Duuude, rip the footage from the tape and throw it on YouTube! I guess you’d need the equipment to do so, but that would be awesome.

We had some great races in Texas with these things to. There were some great races in Dallas that would have a packed field of entrees at Cartwrights. I had a YZ80 conversion that got sold to someone in Ca. Those are FUN bikes.

Raced there when I was like 7 and then again when I was like 14, when I was little ryno was there and he gave me a pair of his purple and green Thor pants
