I know so may people race in California. But most of us here talk dunes etc.

What type of tracks do you have out there? I have read about Glen Helen and even remember Carlsbad from back in the day. What are your surfaces like?

I have travelled between San Jose and Modesto before and remember seeing a track off the Highway that hd a cool corner going up into a hill/ridge. It looked like red clay like soil.

Here near Chicago you can find a lot of different types of surfaces. Of course you have your usual dirt. But I have ridden clay like tracks, and then there is motoland which is a dirt/sand mix. Check out motoland.com to see it. It is a very impressive place.

In a few weeks we will hit motoland one weekend, then ride sunset ridge where they just had the national event last week, the following weekend. A few weeks ago, I rode a track about 3 hours south of Chicago called Lincoln Trail where they have had a quad national before. The track good, not great, but has one awesome triple(if you can fly 110 feet) for the pros to tackle.

Generally, MX racing in the midwest is a big deal. There are actually a lot of tracks which all have a few good sections. I am not a racer but do like to ride track as much as I can. We actually have some great choices.

How about California? Or tell us about your location.

Most of Cali racing is desert. Other than Glen Helen you have just a few scattered MX tracks. As far as groomed good MX quad tracks I really think Glen Helen is it. I know of one in Chico and I have heard of others in Dublin, Stockton, and Placerville but I haven't seen them. There is also one near Reno Nevada a friend has been to and one in Fernley Nevada.

I don't know about So Cal I live up north.

We are a major Dirt Bike MX state. I actually get ragged on by alot of friends because I ride a quad but for some reason they are always following me out in the desert. :) I wish they would open Hang Town to quads that track is tight.
