Track update

major phone calls and meetings all week.

The Motorsport and Wakeboard facility (let's not forget the wakeboarding) layout is being computer modeled as I type this.

Phase 1 will be pro-MotoX course with concurrent development of what looks to be a "motorcycle specific" roadcourse of about 2.5 miles to 3 miles in length. It will be designed as a motorcycle only track and no cars (dirty buggers) will be allowed due to the incredible forces and debris they can bring to a track.

This first track will be home to track day, schools and club races. A second road course will be built as a multipurpose course for both cars, car clubs, and pro-motorcyle events.

Fees will range from $75 to $200 depending on the event. Sponsored track days will obviously be more expensive than open track days, but we will be the least expensive in Southern California. We want to make riding a well designed track, safe and affordable, so we are shooting for creative pricing to make everyone of varying income levels to participate on a regular basis. Think season ski pass or gym membership. The principals involved are mostly family guys, so kids programs will come into play as well. Also, we want more women to enter the sport, so programs designed specfically for the female racer will be a priority. Think about it guys. There will be a beach, sand, bikinis, at a racetrack. Wrap your minds around that one. Now there is no excuse for the wife or girlfriend giving you grief for riding.



There is also talks of having a corkscrew since there are major elevation changes in the area.

[TIFOSO]

Is this the one that is outside El Centro?

[Hellbound]

i dont think its going to be that far. I know its off the 8 but i believe its supposed to be in San Diego area.

[nocontrol]

on indian land
That's the ONLY way this would be feasible. Too many laws, too many investments, too many restrictions on regular American Land... A lot of people tend to forget that Indian Land is another nation altogether, with their own laws/rules/regulations. Amago is a fun track, but there isn't much of a following behind Karting and pocketbikes, so that may be why the track went to crap. From what I can tell, the Motox tracks are doing well there. But I don't ride dirt :silenced:

[CaptainCR]

I’m still a skeptic at this point, but if this pans out I’m sure I’ll be there almost every other weekend. :thumbsup:

don't you mean tinkle tinkle?

[TIFOSO]

That's interesting, when I used to race karts at amago a few years ago, the owner of the track was trying to build a new, bigger track in that spot. I wonder if he got in with the investers that are funding this.

[TIFOSO]

Wait, isn't that where that construction company is?
One way to find out....ROAD TRIP!:squid:

[TreAdidas]

word 'round the campfire was the guy who built Spring Mountain is behind this... that's urban legend at this point though.

[Lost]

don't you mean tinkle tinkle?

DEAL!!!



Would be nice to have a track here. Chuckie is right about it being an urban legend tho. Seems like once a year there is talk of a track out here

[Jelco]

so is it a dirt track?

[Hellbound]

so is it a dirt track?

Supposed to be a big facility for motorcycles, dirt bikes, cars, and some other stuff.

[HondaRider22]

Omfg!

[BearKat]

Please be true....

I have heard and been a part of so many of these urban legends as far as any kind of racing goes in San Diego.

[GixxerDemon55]

Jeff, if it does happen, i hope you know i will hold you to the peeing your pants thing..

Me too Jeff!

That'd be awesome to have a track this close. Is it a for sure thing?

[GixxerDemon55]

What site can you find this at?

Warning: allfortheride and others, please take note

I am sharing with you guys, that does not mean that you get in your four wheel drives and go on PRIVATE LAND. This is private indian land and tresspassers will not be tolerated. If I catch anyone on the land I will blackball you from the track for sure, I promise. Take my word on this. I don't mean to be a hard A$$ but this is not publicly accessable land. Please respect the Tribal lands. There is only one truck allowed on this land right now. If there is any other license plate, the tribal police will ticket you or tow you. DO NOT DO It.

Forum members, please police your own. This is the word. You will get no more information from me until allfortheride and his kind respect what I have shared, and respect the location of this soon-to-be great track.

TrackdayGuru UPDATE July 10th

To make clear - we are not part of World Motoplex. We are not part of anything you have ever heard or read about. This has been under wraps for a long time with some rumblings through certain motorcycle clubs, etc. I broke the news of the future roadcourse on this forum.

As is usual and customary, we will get to a point in construction where we will pre-sell certain types of memberships just like Miller Motorsports, The Autobahn Club, etc., did when they reached various stages of completion.

We are not asking for any money but simply trying to keep you all up to date in regards to the status of the Pala MotoX & Roadracing Park (temporary name).

Update: I am expecting some information today regarding the current status of the buildout. Where we stand today is: we are on the second round of facility design. Second round of engineering for grading, etc. Second round of all things EPA related. All systems are go as of 7/10.

I will have more later today or tomorrow. Trust everyone had a great ride this weekend. I did. Headed south through Cuyamaca. Very pretty. Different than our normal Palomar runs. Flat, twisty, little cars, some irate chopper guys (why do they hate sportbikes so much?), but beautiful weather and great, fun, safe, but fast, riding.

There is a shat ton more info on SCSB. I hope they are in touch with Ti2tt and *buymoto when it starts to come down the pipe...crossing my fingers.


*edit because I have brats for fingers and y and t are right next to each other....also because BuyMoto has been nothing butt freakin awesome so far. ;o)

[Dissident]

Ok, so when's the first track day?

Any updates? Or is this just the annual there's-a-track-coming-to-SD-get-our-hopes-up post?

[spewmonkey]

While looking east at lunch a new track was spotted, it's either Old Coach Rd. or the Green Valley Truck Trail off of Espola in Poway:

http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=Old+Coach+Road,+92128

They both connect to HVR one way or another. I won't be attempting either on a sport bike, an SMR should have no problem.

[Dissident]

Until I get some sumo popo riding buddies, green valley is off (it's a hiking trail, not so much a road). Not sure about the other or how it connects (either to HVR or to the rest of this thread).

There are some sweet offshoots you can ride on the supermoto, but as I found out the last time I tried to take one, sometimes there are things gmaps doesn't tell you, like the gate that blocks the road half way there....

[nocontrol]

Resurrecting. Any word lately, or were you just "yanking our chains"?

[mtex22]

found this on another forum. I think this is the Pala Track!! Could be wrong though

Nah, that's Amago. 1/2 mile, 12 turns of pocketbike/minigp/karting excitement. At least it used to be, before they turned it into a dirt jump track...

[adobo]

they should turn qualcomm into a road track after they move the chargers out of there

[KrazyGook]

Chargers don't even deserve a new place until they make it passed their first match in the playoffs.

[SilverRider]

Funny you say that. It is the exact same thing I was thinking when I heard they may be moving up north. I hat football so I would love to see the place torn down and a fun track built. Too bad it is in a valley and the sound would be so loud all of the Mission Valley residence would shut it down.

[DBame]

I am so over waiting for this.... anyone want to wake me up in a few years?

Very true...they can't even pass first round...choke!

If it (New Track) does materialize, Pally will probably turn to be a thing of the past, eh?

[GetnJgyWitit]

No, there will always be squids. Plus Pally is still free. :whistle:

[ireimers]

If it (New Track) does materialize, Pally will probably turn to be a thing of the past, eh?

ha... pally will never be a thing of the past.

Seriously though, I think that quite a few of the people at pally enjoy the rush of being on the edge. Knowing that if they go down... everything is going to go to hell in a handbasket... but getting threw everything ok is a rush.
And there are tons of people that just enjoy the scenery up there.
Not to mention not having to pay.

The only way that pally will ever be a thing of the past is if it is made a law that motorcycles aren't allowed on the mountain and enforced. And that isn't gonna happen.

Its not worth pushing out there on Pally. Just wanted to throw my $ .02 in.

[ireimers]

I agree... its not worth riding in shorts out there on Pally either... Just my $ .02 as well.
...
I'm not condoning anything or supporting or however you want to look at it. I was just stating the fact that pally aint goin anywhere.

[brakstad]

Press release today... Lots of motocross tracks and a supermoto track, but no mention of any road racing track.. So much for that dream...

when you go to the palaraceway.com site, they do mention that the superbike track will be built in a different phase.

Pretty weak statement on their site:

Pala Raceway is in the process of developing plans that could include the construction of a world class road course to go along with the Off Road tracks.

I thought that was part of the dance? I hope so because i've been dancing around all nigh and im starting to chafe if you know what i mean.. Maybe the over teh shoulders hammock could have been a size bigger.... :grr:

[typerflip]

If the track is actually built I'll move back :-)

[Fixcinater]

From what I've seen of SoCal and it's tree-hugger residents, I can't imagine this coming to fruition.


I'd love it if it did, I could actually afford to go to the track with some semblance of regularity if it was that close.

[MotoFuzzle]

I met one of the founders at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach in Dec. and he was saying that there is a huge fuss with the local residents and such, and that they've been trying for a long time to make this happen. They still seemed determined to fight, but we'll see what happens.

[veejay]

do they have at least an estimated completion date for the first phase?

probably 2010 which will get delayed to 2020 or 2050
