I got to thinking the other day (not sure what brought that on,) and I began to compile in my brain all the racetracks I've ridden in my day. I've always been a guy who mostly stays close to home, yet I've still manage to ride a decent number of tracks over the years.
Remembering all the tracks I've ridden brought back a few memories for me, so if you have a few minutes and few enough concussions to do this, I highly recommend it.
My list (in no particular order):
1. Barona Oaks Raceway 2. De Anza Cycle Park* 3. Glen Helen 4. Perris Raceway 5. Starwest 6. LACR 7. Silver State Raceway (later Champion Speedway)* 8. Fernley 9. Stead 10. Mustang 11. Cycleland Speedway (Chico) 12. Gardnerville Fairgrounds 13. Fallon Fairgrounds 14. Bishop Fairgounds 15. Lake Huron 16. Lovelock* 17. Winnemucca (Calder)* 18. Winnemucca (not Calder) 19. Honey Lake 20. Mammoth 21. Sacramento Raceway 22. Marysville (Riverfront) 23. Marysville (E-Street) 24. Hollister Hills 25. Alamo* 26. Las Vegas Raceway (WMGP track) 27. Lake Elsinore 28. Competitive Edge 29. Milestone Park 30. Carson City Fairgrounds (Fuji Park)*
*R.I.P.
There are probably a few more, but that's my rough number. Anyone higher than 30 (that they can remember)?

Those are some solid lists. You guys have been some places. I didn't even know some of the tracks on your list existed, Ty. Lee Vining had a track? And I have ridden Riata and Prison Hill too, but only after their days as racetracks had gone.
OK...so who's been to more than 47?

Ya Bobby, back in '81 there was a race or two there. Funny thing is, you can still see the downhill if u are headed south as you drive by on the highway ...if you know where to look of course..the downhill was easily as long as Honey Lakes...
That Riata track was host to a big annual event over Memorial day weekend .. the sanctioning body was AME.. yep, you gotta be old as dirt to know of AME... they ran a So. Cal series that went to bishop once a year for a big event...the track still to this day was easily one of the coolest I have ever rode..
Locally, while Carson was great, ..honestly I feel Prison Hill was way better because you had the Carson track dirt but with elevation changes and twice the size...BUT, they all were second to Skyranch.... talk about epic. Perfect dirt, HUGE hills, great layout and the spectating was awesome... you could see most of the track..

Ty, didn't you actually win one of those? I know one of the photos posted of you from the "olden days" was taken there (by me) This is such a fun thread.........our sport goes way back and had some great tracks. It also means we have more great tracks to come! How many remember the MDA benefit at Virginia City? That track only ran 1 race and Bob Hannah showed up. It was his first race back after breaking his leg in that dangerous sport of water skiing! Hannah wore a pair of underware with hearts on them over his leathers.
