Mike , did you ever do the Xmas circuit.....Rotorua - Taupo - Whakatane - Waihi beach. 4  race events  run in  2 weeks on the best ever natural terrain tracks.

The CD6 & CD7 Pre85 MX tracks.

Not just the tracks but the same conditions would be great. They were spot on for my 175 ;)
       
Any track when conditions are just right.

Race tracks are an important matter to me at the moment; all I want in my later years is to ride on some great tracks.  I WILL get to ride at Glen Helen in SoCal in the next year or so and maybe with my younger Bro that rides VMX in England.

But mainly I will build my own track here in Victoria; I have just been advised that I can claim all my Super so I am now actively searching for land.  I will build a track that is safe & fun, one that can be used year-round; is not affected by heavy rain and has dust control.

I have been involved with building many MX tracks over the years, aswell as riding on some horrors, I will build a great track that I hope you all will love riding on.

Carlsbad, the Citadel, Hawkestone Park and any of those green pasture tracks in NZ 8).

Carlsbad would be the last track that I'd want to ride again.

OOPS Typo      Christmas Hills , Victoria if they emptied the water.  Hey Rosco  the track is NOT under the dams water
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Rosco and Tim Re Christmas Hills FYI I jumped the fence at Sugarloaf dam a couple of years back when the drought was on. I managed to find where the track was but sadly all features have been removed by MMBW, inundation and time. If you squinted though and used your imagination the memories came flooding back. J

OK I'll work on the logistics-shall we aim for this time next year.
Prob only get 6 - to 10 that would do eh?
I 'll go for big twins but might get a couple of 500 singles in the mix.
We'll leave the pre90s till the year after.

My daytime tracks in SoCal were Indian Dunes, De Anza, Saddleback Park, Escape Country and Carlsbad - would love to race any of them again.   Tried to qualify at Unadilla and broke the bike badly, but loved the track - these days unfortunately it is just not the same.  Didn't race Oz at all so can't comment, but visited a few tracks way over there and Sittendorf, Lommel, Hawkstone, Farleigh Castle, Va;kenswaard and Maggoria are tracks I would have loved to have raced.
Poke that bone back in and wrap it up tight sport - I am racing the second moto.

I like to do Mortlake Vic I have only seen pictures

I was lucky to race there in the 90's, it would have to be one of the most enjoyable tracks i have ever ridden. i belted around there on my 74 XR75 for hours on the Saturday prior to Sunday races, raced Sunday in the juniors and missed my 2nd place trophy presentation as i was still cutting laps afterwards:)

Dad had to collect my sash:)

Wicked track, would have to come a close 2nd to Barrabool:)
Cheers
