This style of BMX track with high-banked paved turns and a giant starting ramp is called Supercross. This track in California was said to be the third permanent Supercross track in the world when it opened in January 2008. One of the other two is in Copenhagen (not yet visible in Google Earth), but I'm striking out on finding the third. After posting this on VGT, I went on a search for more tracks like this.
