Roughest, toughest track ever.
The Shop
Bob Hannah agrees to
That place was just unbelievably brutal. I remember watching the pro class at a winter AM race and just being awestruck that those guys were jumping a huge double that had a takeoff that would have qualified as a whoop section.
When the water table was up (high tide) water would seep up into the bottom of the whoops and holes that developed, making them deeper.
That black sand was some naasty stuff when it rained too.
Of course all that paled in comparison to the misquitos. Those things were rumored to have carried off unattended pets and even small children.
Lommel makes Baghdad look like Chuck E Cheese on a Tuesday afternoon
during the blessing- of- the- mouse- panties.
Ruts so deep they have ladders out of 'em.
Whoops so rough they issue sea-sick pills.
Beer-tents so rowdy that kegs are tossed like potato-chips (with mayo).
Is that the track where Everts won both motos in 1998 by about 40 sec over tortelli? He was just unreal that day. Amazing to watch in the sand.
Here is a photo of the only flat spot on the track.

I can still remember Howerton literally jumping every 2 whoops on his Husky.
And those whoops were like 2-21/2 ft deep and about 15 ft apart.
