What's the first track you ever raced at?

Mansfield motorcycle club; harescramble. XR100. Circa 2000. First and last harescramble for about the next 8 years. It was 35 degrees and I froze my butt off. Went on to ride exclusively MX/Indoors up until 2 years ago.
 
My first race was on amateur day at the 1988 High Point Nationals on a 1988 CR500. That was the most amazing experience!
 
Krony 506, this picture is of me getting third that day at highpoint on my 87 cr 500

1993 @ Pymatuning on Easter Sunday, it was blowing snow, freezing ass cold, and a sloppy goop mess. I was 14 on an older RM125 and was scarrrreeddd to death. Pretty sure I got a 3rd place plaque that day just for staying till the end, not hard to get 3rd when there is only 3 bikes racing.

Malvern sat night race in 1995. i was 15 years old. Had my brand new kx125 for about a week and couldn't wait to go race. Track was super hard packed and slick but I had a great time. Was there with a couple of my friends and we all battled to not get last in 125c class. seems like there was about 30 kids in the class that night. I remember pulling in and seeing that tabletop- down hill double that was right up front back then. scared the life out of me. I'll never forget that day.

I always thought there were like 40 PW's on the line for my first few races at broken Spokes. Haha. Dad says it didn't quite happen that way.

Persinger. although I think I have asked you before. did you ride at west Mansfield?
No, never been to west Mansfield. Mostly in the 80's I raced D5. Did a little Ohio racing, but that was just OIR, Honda Hills, and once at Yankee Lake. You ever race D5 tracks back then?
