Curt Alexander. I think we actually met at the YC and maybe even La Mirada. And Utterback is 44 by the way

41.............
Think you're the same age as Eddie King!
LOL! (inside joke)

Reilley1, very possible we met at YC. Are you same age? What bikes did you ride 78-81? What were any of your district numbers? I still have a few of the NBA World newspapers with point standings, I could look you up, Heh heh.

Utterback 44 well OK a 3 year spread I had always thought he was similar age to Stu. (chaulk up another for minister of information) or am I just out of that loop, probably the latter.

Eddie who???

The few times we raced I got a good look at the back of his jersey as he powered away. LOL

There was an 1980 NBA national or possibly mini-natinal at Van Nuys.

It was filmed on Sunday and was broadcast the next morning on TV.

Anyone know anthing about it?

Man I think the Van Nuys track closed before I got to California.
Look how clean that one riders CyC is. #16X means he musta been a top rider. look how dialed his plate is also. Almost as kool as Kings #1. So who is the rider with 16 on his plate?

Here's a flyer from there.


Mike

Wow, memories.

Hey everyone just found this I actually lived 2 blocks from the teen center My dad ran the races Steve Jones big guy with a beard and a cowboy hat was the starter Riders Ready Pedals Ready GO I can still hear him call it because my dad ran the races I raced at every single race so I have many many memories and it brings me back seeing you guys talk about the veledrome ...... ok but does anyone remember racing at the malibu grand prix track?????

Rusty,
You were a good racer. Valencia Schwinn right with my bud Todd Henry.
Didn't you do a test for Super BMX?

yep that is me I have got boxes and boxes of super bmx mags with me in it and still have an attic full of trophies .... I kept the big ones does enyone remember selling there trophies back to the track for sunday races????

Europa is on Ventura Blvd just West of Van Nuys Blvd in Sherman Oaks. I was just in there the other day talking to Dennis about selling my 09 SE 24" Quadangle Looptail. On a side note I never got to ride at the Teen Center, but the LAPD found my stolen 1984 Ford Ranger on the track at the Teen Center. True story!

Isn't there an episode of CHiPs filed at the YC? I don't recall racing there, but a childhood friend of mine swears that he and I did race there. I wish I remembered.

That muddy race was The Western States Championships and it was 79 not 80. I won 14x and the trophy dsh wich at the time was a big deal because i wasnt suppised to. It was me Kosmo Dave Renfrow Will Scurto and....... drawin a blank its hard gettin old annyhoo it was 2 am when the race was done and i can remember standing inwater almost to my knee at the finish line with P.K. Scot my mom Bob Morales who was co-factory SE at the time jumpin up and down loke abunch of fools lol. That was one of the best days of my life.

No way, were you that little dude that used to race with our little guy on our Team (Magic Mushroom Cyclery)? I'm pretty sure I turned expert at the Van Nuys Track. Fun times, I remember the Gate Guy (your dad) almost disqualified me for Team Riding, I sat down just before the Finish Line so my Team Mate could pass me and get a Trophy. Lol. I loved that Track! The only part I didn't like was that tall jump on the other side of the track, you would get going so fast on the back straight and have to maneuver that. Here's my Facebook Pics of my BMX Pics but none at the Van Nuys Track. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...9044&type=3
