Me ? Probably Honda Hills, Ohio. The track ? She’s inactive, yet potentially restorable....

Back when I raced MX it would have been I-40mx in Lenior city TN, I think brownie spun several laps there also in the 90's. It closed permanently a couple years ago.

290 MX in Waller, TX (closed), Mills Rd MX in Houston (was a riding spot years before it was a race track and is now closed, the owner of this track owns 3 Palms), Pax Trax in Bunnell, FL (still open). I think I rode these tracks equally over the years.

Yep, I spent the most time putting in laps at Honda Hills, Damn shame she isn't open. Dick was a great promoter, was never a fan of the people who bought it and eventually closed it......

I'd also have to say Honda Hills. From all the Wednesday night practices to Friday night series, day races, and weekend ride days I've put many laps there.

Frozen Ocean in Upstate NY. 20 minutes from where I grew up. Spun countless laps there over the years. It’s still around and under new ownership but a shell of it’s former self. Back in the mid-late 90’s early 2000’s they held a Wednesday big money pro race on the night track the week of Unadilla. It would draw really big names and the races were always super intense cause of how technical the track was back then. Casey Johnson, Brock Sellards, Jiri Dostal, Nick Wey, Grant Langston, Mike Alessi and of course the locals Phil Nicoletti, Bob Kiniry, Paul Carpenter, Chris Coleman, Carlo Coen, Barry Carsten, Ty Wallace all shredded laps there at some point

Same, I miss that place. The dirt was always so good on race day on the big track back in the day, Mr. Denman knew how to dig it lol.

I remember the Yamaha race of champions in 06, the night race Saturday night went till almost 2am they had so many entries.

I Definitely turned the most laps on private tracks me and friends made in fields, mostly just national terrain tracks.
But for actual Race tracks
I would say Cambridge Mn witch I raced in the early 90's
And does still exist, it has awesome Sandy to loamy dirt.
Perfect imo.
Lap starts at 1:22

One of my greatest memories was getting to ride there in 2001 at 18 years old for an open ride day on a borrowed bike. Not long before it closed for good I believe. Rock hard blue groove. Nothing like I had ever ridden before.

Mr Denman had just the right recipe of water and disking. Practice would always be muddy but by first motos it was brownie batter and the ruts would be a half dozen in just about every corner. I remember that night well! I was there in 2006 on a YZ125 battling all my buddy’s on there four strokes lol

Barona Oaks. They have been having trouble keeping it running for the last 20 years or so, but it gets reopened every now and then. It's operating again these days. Cheerful

Friday night races at Action Sports old track on the other side of US33. Way before all this supermini 1, supermini 2, schoolboy 1, schoolboy 2, collegeboy etc. they had just a schoolboy class. I raced 125B and the schoolboy on a KX125 and Stevie Childress was always there racing 80 senior and schoolboy because he was a few years younger than me. I would always get the holeshot when we lined up together in schoolboy because I weighed all of 117 lbs and those 85 KX125s were rocketships but within 2 laps he would get around me and put half a lap between us in a 5 lap race and he was on a 80!!
