What's the first track you ever raced at?

[shaffstall721]

Meadowlarks 1998, Jr. Mini Class on a 1995 KX 80, Muddy as hell, I beat one person and I don't know how. I didn't even hit the "powerband" on the bike yet.

I believe this is 1977-8 I'm 6 or 7 years old... Harborwoods MX near New Castle Pa. I realize this is an old post, but had to share...

This one below is from a couple years later at the same track.

Chester Lake, around the corner from Smith Road.

Holy cow! never raced there but rode there a few times. Jack used to do a lot of riding on the lake as well.
I forgot all about that!

I still have my dad’s hand written notes of every race. You can tell we had no idea what motos meant the first race we did. Lol!

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

Should frame that....I was born in 87.

My first race was in 1988 at COCR on a jr50. I believe Burkhart and Ivers lapped me twice.

Those hand written notes are the bomb!
So cool - he was into it - for sure.

I believe my first race ever was at Amherst Meadowlarks on my 1981 KX 80 in 1981. I had been riding for years with my dad as a pro practice before it was cool but finally got to race at our "home" track that year. I also raced at Norwalk Raceway Park too that year and completed my first double jump there.

Some things you never forget.

Isn’t cool how you remember moto milestones ? I remember what track I hit my first double at. What track I started feathering the clutch in the corners on 60s.....
