Sounds like Ed will be running the ranch instead of Zaca. The two tracks are about 6 miles apart.

He mentioned something in a YouTube video i saw a few weeks back that he’s been in discussions with the folks that run Castillo and that there’s some sort of potential resolution in the works. This must be what he was referring to. Now what exactly “this” is i can’t say but any hope is better than none i suppose.

That would be rad but seems like they'd have to widen the track quite a bit to have public days. It's pretty narrow and seems like it would be a bitch to widen the lanes along the hill.

Yeah like stated above, Ed is working on the track at a Castillo Ranch. It’s like the next exit or 2 north of Zaca Station Rd.

Either hope it’s wider or just less riders to start. The place is difficult but unreal!

So is Dave taking the ranch public then? IIRC Dave Castillo is still the owner?

From all accounts it's a very steep, very tough track to ride.

Was told that it’s about a month out, depending on whether. They are really hoping for some rain and will be bringing in sand. I seriously can’t wait for this!! Can’t wait to ride my smoker around that place. Zaca was the place I was going to break it in until they announced the closing a week before my bike was finished.

Castillo is going to open their private property to the public? Better go ride it before the 1st person gets hurt!

It’s goin to be invite only style like Zaca. Once
You get on the list then you are good. From what Castillo said on pulp. I’m sure there are some other things to be ironed out.

I’m sure Ed has people hitting him up all the time so getting his guys plus Castillo’s guys won’t be a problem.

Everytime I hear the name Dave Castillo I cant help but to think Team Great Western Bank and Dave and the team flying in a private jet even though they were lappers.

Does anybody have any updates on the situation? Haven't heard anything so far and I'm wondering if it'll be open some time during the winter.

This would be amazing. Have dreamed of riding there since I first sat on a bike and will be moving back home in July to IL from AZ after seperating from active duty. Would love the chance to go.

Castillo is a beautiful track. If it becomes public, I might have to get back into riding.


I know DC wouldn't remember, but he pulled my bike out of a muddy corner at the RacerX Ride Day in '06. It was my first lap riding Castillo and apparently a hose was leaking. It was a huge mess and a few people got stuck, including me Laughing
