Theres not a season that goes by, that I don't think of you.

I was in the area this morning, so I took a detour to see how you changed. You still look the same, except for some wrinkles. I will never forget the memories we shared.

Anyway, I took this picture this AM. Water trucks, buildings are still there. Nothing looks different except the massive rain ruts, and the sign out front is gone. I wish soooo bad that Scenic would open again. Even for one practice every 2 months or something. Scenic's flow was unlike any other, and I sure do miss it.

I remember the drive in the first time turning to go up the hill like oh sh*t pin it!

 

[SaboMX801]

right on! the races there were amazing. Tim was one cooled dude. long live the back section up to the 100 ft. table top at scenic!!!

Jon what was that track you talked about a couple of months ago in Alabama that was cool place to go for a 4 day weekend?

Jon it's funny you did this, I've come up north on 77 a few times and passed the exit and almost got off to go look. Surprised he hasn't sold the water trucks.

I agree that the most recent version of Scenic had one of the best layouts of any track I've ever ridden. I loved the flow of the track as well, it just fit me perfectly.

I remember my first time as well, we passed the driveway like 5 times because it was like 3AM when we got there that night and we were like umm no way thats it. Finally went up there, went to bed. I just remmeber waking up and being like holy crap, weere on top of the world!! What a sight to see when you wake up. I really wish it would open up every now and again as well. along with beachwood trails lol.. and 330 for that matter because they dropped off last year

Monster Mountain.

That was an awesome track. Had lots of fun when I rode there.

those pics are so sad looking, i remember riding there when i was only 15 or 16

 

[loneranger171]

Only had the pleasure to ride there 1 time.... Awesome flow and a good time on my 450.... Would love to write it on my 125 and see how the 2 stroke would do onI those off cambers

 

[Kamppi135]

Jon I'm with ya on Scenic...some of my favorite memories are from that place! Thanks for the heads-up on Monster Mountain. Headed there on Feb 17th.

Dug these out of the super secret Scenic 2001 archives: 10 YEARS ago (bunch more in the albums).

I'll call about the '04 RM250 as soon as I get your number (long, small world, funny story...)

 

[stangbro01]

used to race there all the time on my 125 years ago. what a fun track.

 

[MX315]

Jon is giving all of us a clue..............Set up the weekend and dates.....Show up,It's all still there,pay the farmer down the road!!!!! We ride HER one more time!!!!! Think about it,If Jon had his bike and it was spring...he would have been blowing berms!!!!

 

[suzukirmz450]

Bruce, nice to see you back. The KTM looks awesome. My first race and win was at the Scenic Vet National Weekend w/ TJ Summers. Damn I miss that place......

 

[BriarcliffMx]

I wonder how many last rides will happen this year because of one post?

 

[TwentyThreeMX]

hopefully a couple

 

[MarctheSharc]

Sweet KTM 250!!!!

 

[RocketRobin]

I sure do miss Scenic Highlands too, it was my favorite race track in Ohio ever.......... bummed that it's gone and wishing that someone would give it a go again there.

 

[TwentyThreeMX]

ahh i miss riding C class strictly for the fact that there was always more than a hand full of bikes on the gate

 

[FERGYMOTO]

I'm with ya Crute lol. It always sucked racing against only a few guys. Matter of fact, last time I raced 250B (what is now 450B) at Scenic it was a total of five of us. I think it would be a real struggle to make money with an MX track these days. No one is going to open up to lose money

 

[jfalat]

i often think of scenic... its was one of the best tracks around... i always felt comfortable riding there. to bad someone cant bring her back... i know i wouldn't miss the opportunity to ride one more time there...Anyone know if Tim still has any interest in opening it back up...
