Title: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Toomey on May 21, 2006, 07:53:26 PM The place was closed, and I probably shouldn't have even gone in. But I parked the truck at a little boat ramp on the other side of the street and walked in, since there was a gate at the entrance of the track. It took me a while to find it, though I had already seen the area before, I didn't know that it was the track. This is less than a mile south of the Fish Camp on Krome. It's about 2 miles south of the intersection of US-27 and Krome. To me, it doesn't seem like they're ready to open. They have one big track, looks kinda supercrossy, and they seem to have a peewee track going too. There was no one there, I kinda just walked in and snapped pictures.
Here is the entrance, has the colorful banner things.

I was so nervous when I was there all by myself, I kept thinking that some grandpa owner of the track was gonna pop out of somewhere and shoot me with his shotgun lol.

Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: 53yfz450 on May 21, 2006, 08:05:13 PM yeah better than your house :-\
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Toomey on May 21, 2006, 08:05:40 PM Looks more like a homemade track than a real deal big one. I'm still gonna go though, it's fairly near, and hopefully it won't be too crowded, with a cheap entry fee, and I can learn a little track riding on my bike.
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Hondarider22 on May 21, 2006, 08:10:21 PM yeah better than your house :-\ you right, but both mine and this place top yours ::) Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: 53yfz450 on May 21, 2006, 08:12:19 PM yeah better than your house :-\ you right, but both mine and this place top yours ::) oh well soon yours will be better. ;) bobcat time 8) Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: kfx400rob on May 21, 2006, 08:21:22 PM looks like its not wide enuf for quads?
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: foreman1 on May 21, 2006, 08:29:27 PM Some of the old south fla residents might remember it, that's old Thompson Park .
It use to be an RV park till the 1980's then the county shut it down. Not sure if this is still county owned or private, most likely its still county owned. Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Yota on May 21, 2006, 08:45:46 PM looks like its going to be real dusty
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: ebtrx450r on May 21, 2006, 08:47:43 PM That was my first thought! That and you better have your tinted goggles if your riding during the day.
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: klutchbuster400 on May 21, 2006, 08:49:15 PM looks skiny, but some jumps look fun, its rigth by my house so i cant wait to hit it up!!!
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Yota on May 21, 2006, 08:50:15 PM tinted goggles and full body armor to dodge the rocks the lap bikes will through up
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: rubicon500kid on May 21, 2006, 09:14:35 PM i herd there is going to be a mud pit there did u see any there or no ?
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Toomey on May 21, 2006, 09:24:42 PM i herd there is going to be a mud pit there did u see any there or no ? Didn't see an area for a mud pit. There was a small pond, but that couldn't be it because it's so dry right now, that pond is meant to be a pond. I didn't really have THAT of a good look around because I didn't wanna walk the entire area when I wasn't even supposed to be there. There may very well be a mud pit there, though I didn't see it. Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: dreth on May 21, 2006, 09:50:27 PM THAT track is made of coqina (sp) rock which will hurt real bad if you fall off :'( it is also real dusty or real muddy. i wish you guys luck
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: raptor426 on May 27, 2006, 10:09:01 PM Thats awsome! This place is like 10 minutes from my house. Finaly, after they closed down Air Dania, the closest track to my house was Seminole, but that is like 2 hours from my house. I cant wait till they open this track up.
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: chubbyEXboy300 on May 28, 2006, 02:07:27 PM i went there and talked to the owner last week. He is a really cool guy. i think his name is john. He gave me and my buddy a grand tour. We went on top of that building and he showed us the track from start to finish. '
Personay i think it is a more quad friendly track because the dirtbikes will be having to slow down. Its really slick track. He has some really really big burms and i mean huge. They are having a 300ft sand drag and a mud bog. Its more family oriented and is not going to have as much of a race scene as seminole.] All in all i think it is going to be a kick a$$ track. it opens up june 3rd and i hope to see lots of people out there!!!

It use to be an RV park till the 1980's then the county shut it down. Not sure if this is still county owned or private, most likely its still county owned. It was an Rv park then it became a boy scout camp. I use to camp there about 6 years ago. when i was a wee little tike. great fishing in that pond when the water is a little higher.

Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: Toomey on June 08, 2006, 07:45:16 PM Pics look good to me. At least for a close, legal, dry place to ride. How much does it cost to ride?

Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: #74 crf250r on June 08, 2006, 08:43:26 PM track look's ok but definitly could use some work.
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: 01KX250 on June 08, 2006, 09:45:51 PM Hate to be the guy who runs into those containers that make up the bridge. looks like it would hurt pretty bad.

Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: 01KX250 on June 09, 2006, 11:49:31 AM its really dusty right now but by Sat. they will have a watering system for the track.
I only wish they would put some nice dirt down over the track instead of ground up palm tree's.

Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: YELLOW RR on June 26, 2006, 04:27:03 PM I was there sat and sunday on my 05 trx450, buddy was riding his 06 crf230. This was my 1st time at a track and for a beginner track rider was not that bad. To bad my buddy was clearing the first table and landed past the landing, suspension bottom out pogoed his ass off and something put a nice hole in the clutch cover spilling his oil... needless to say i think he needs a better suspended bike. This track is good for beginners sharpining their skills, or for beginners who never been to the track and mabey are alittle intimidated to start at seminole. Track workers are friendly and seems like a good family environment. thats my 2cents.
Title: Re: Pics of new track on Krome and US-27 Post by: RacerX5 on June 26, 2006, 04:50:58 PM I was at that new track a couple of weeks ago. ITs not that bad considering how close it is to my house. im just worried about race day and how the hole shot is going to work out. i see alot pile ups at county line in the future.
