I felt privileged to have been part of history at Carlsbad. It's gone but never forgotten.   -- Woody

I think the Carlsbad USGP track was the best track for motocross EVER. But what I need to know is, was there ever any DVDs or tapes made of the old GPs with Decoster and Lackey? Thank you -- Brian. B

Brian, we still don't have any DVDs yet. Does anyone else have any video to share?

Some of you may not know that Carlsbad Raceway is something of a phenomenon since it operated almost 17 years beyond its notice to vacate the premises. Here is a copy of the 1st letter to vacate.
 
Just for fun...a Carlsbad Raceway fender cover from the early 1960s.
Now some night photos....

Sorry the night photos aren't more clear but it is hard to fly the plane in circles through the approach path of the airport, at night, as low and slow as you can, looking through a camera viewfinder, while trying to hold the camera steady enough to get a clear shot in such low light. I'll try a better camera and have my dad go with me to do the flying next time. --Jeff

Some are still inquiring about current races at Carlsbad. The Raceway officially closed in August of 2004 and there have been no races there since that time. This site is for reminiscing about good times gone by. The Carlsbad Raceway Business Park now stands where we once raced. Thanks for your interest, and we can always use more photos or scanned items to help jog our memories....
