No, I don’t remember that guy.
But, lol, seems like BMX’ing was a precursor to drag racing for most of us?

Exactly. Most you could do was double the first two, but it wasn’t really any faster. They’re actually still on that track, but everything else has changed.
The guy that runs it now is doing a decent job. He took over when my friend’s dad and I stepped down. I was there last year checking it out.
This thread makes me want to go dig and get some lines done on my trails.

I haven’t seen any of the PA tracks in years. I think my last year of racing was like 1999 or 2000 as 18-20x. Ran a few locals in 21-24x, but there wasn’t enough for a class.
Whatever happened to Chad Cevaar? Wasn’t he mentioned earlier in this thread? Last time I went to a national at South Park a bunch of us made drano bombs out of 3liter bottles and managed to flip steel garbage cans with em.
