so far i have only found one. not sure of the event or date though.
this is from bing. different angles and distances give you different images.
anyone got any others. thought it would be cool if it happened during a national or regional or something.

you can actually get pretty close with this one. can see bikes and stuff going around the track.

Haven't been to Red Bud in ages - what is the track in the lower right corner of the pic?

50 track, maybe? I think in the upper right is the track they use for the grass race. I'm hoping to ride that this year.

Edit: I stand corrected! (or maybe not...)

That's the pee wee track. The night track would be in the lower left hand corner.

I rode an open practice there on Labor Day of 2008 and that picture isn't the configuration I rode. The section after the Leap was different for sure.

Back when Google Earth was new, the view of Mosier Valley was obviously taken during the GNC Final. You could see all the big rigs and the riders on the track.

A few years ago if you look at Angels Field in Anaheim the image used was snapped during one of the supercross races. The whole stadium floor was the SX track in the picture.

It looks like Jacksonville got snapped this time.
You have to zoom in to see it. The zoomed out picture doesn't show it yet.

Thats red bud.. But looks like an end of summer practice.. Thats the amatuers track.. Maybe 09.. But the back section isnt there for the pros.

Where would LaRocco's Leap be? Is that it above the pits, kinda on the right top portion of the pic?

It's the jump at the bottom left of the main track, to the left and below of the pit area. The jump I think you're looking at is the ski jump (far right). The top center jump is just a tabletop.
