Toyota, mercedes, bmw and nissan all have us plants and they are thriving?????? The problem is these companies squandered capital rather than fund benefits and pensions plans for there employees . I own a chevy malibu maxx which is a decent car but after owning it for almost three years I see the cheapness of the material and the corners cut that will most likley cause me to buy a japenese car next time. The little extra effort not put into the vehicle cost them. The us companies are behind in style and innovation and since the sales of suvs declined due to big oil they cannot compete. We cry about immigrants and imports from china killing america what does the tag on your clothes or toys say? Its our own fault. Rather than boycott and demand domestic goods you go for the best price. I am not going to throw rocks from a glass house I live in the real world and as guilty as the next guy but were victims of our own circumstances living in a instant gratification society. No one wants to put hard work or earn what they have when i was a teenager being a landscaper was the cadillac of summer jobs. Now its all illegals. They do the jobs we dont want but i respect them because its a hard days work and they do it without a sound but the joke is on us because while some think there profiting off cheap labor were getting the bill via record high property taxes for there education, healthcare, and other social services. My hats off to the newest endangered species the semi-skilled blue collar US factory worker.
its been 30 years they been around and the almost 20 years I raced they never gave in and never will.
every story you hear has multiple sides very rarely the one you hear is the truth. Trust me I deal with it every day.

miken1973 – Does the name Kevin Hoffman ring a bell? I was racing Bensalem back then, I am a couple months younger
We will make this year something to remember at Bensalem, since we don’t have to worry about next year and the future, we are pulling out all the stops this year. If anything, we will use to closing to get more word out regarding BMX. 1 TV station is already looking to run something about it.
Phantom – Don’t worry, I am coming over to the NBL after all this, so we can keep in touch. Of course, I won’t be competitive at all since I can’t race 3 motos.
did your dad race cruiser as well? name rings a bell.
PS I still have the booklet from the NBL PA state championship (88 or 89) seris for that year. some tracks in that book that are long gone. Phonexville, north park to name a few.
Dave I am 32 and first raced there when I was 14 or 15. The last year it was NBL. You and a gentle men who I can only remember his first name Herb! did a good job. I have found memories when the track first went aba. The nbl didnt have doubles on there tracks because of accident at central jersey. IT was very exciting time and some great racing. the old hill rocked.
too bad its in ohio this looks amazing. I wish we had something like this even in Poconos would be worth the trip.
whats up Glennon you keep in touch with anybody from the old days like the godfreys, tokash etc etc
Hey dan still have that s&m mad dog frame the first one when they first came out. how about some s&b pedal cages. —- mike nunn

Mikey goes from getting pimped to doing the pimping…
Gee Mike, did you pick up some “skills” riding with the Wrecking Crew in 1989??? 🙄
There is a shall i say agressiveness that was common among not only the wrecking crew team but all braddock locals that never will go away.

Back when you liked some stoner surfer. I thought you were gonna get all point break on me and give me the locals only speach and jump me. I am sure over the 10 period we raced you got me back at least once!!!! Remember this one— Hey pete you should have worn knee pads!!!!!!!–
