Mark, no those top 2 pics are from Dez Moines State Fair Ground events. They started those in early 82, until late 83.
If your refering to the "Corn Husker Nationals in NE, then yes I think that was.... But wasn't NE indoor dirt the first years?? I can't think!

That is positively the Rock Island Armory in RI Illinois. Site of my first race in 80 & many more indoors to come. Still have the stadium tires. A big regret in my life was I never went to the photo place & picked up the pictures I shot of said 1st race

These two pics^^ are Rock Island? If so, that makes sense....I think I said (Quad Cities) same ting.

yep. This might be my first race, come to think of it. Anyone in the pics got a year on these? My guess is that is Jan 80?
QUOTE (B. Apold @ Dec 16 2008, 02:31 PM)
It never dawned on me they were MN-2. Maybe I knew it then, but I don't remember. I just figured if you had a 612 area code that you were MN-1 and that's all the metro was back then (612). Either way, they were good consistant riders with love for the sport.
Shawn, you know your Metro-geographics waaaaaaay better than me....I'm sure your right.
Shawn, you know your Metro-geographics waaaaaaay better than me....I'm sure your right.
Yep, the Hawkey Nats was a dark venue - not the one I'm think of though. I may not know for sure until I dig through my trophies - it was a bright place, right downtown.
I think 612 covered a lot of territory back then, maybe even St. Cloud. The split was geographic, the river. I think Minneapolis and it's suburbs in 612 were MN-1. But I'm not sure, it changed often.
1983/84 I think Ronken tried to go USBA - but there were too many non-prof ABA tracks, and it never stuck. USBA was a rebel group of ABA employees - they offered more money to the promoter (less fees). It failed as fast as it came along. Frank Richards ran some NBL races at Roy Wilkens that year too, everyone was out to make a buck.
There was a lot of friction the year that Ronken tried to do USBA - it got kind of ugly. I don't think he was making as much money on the deal as Jack did before he sold Midwest to Ronken. I think the sanctioning wars were part of the reason why BMX waned all across the country. In 1982 I put all my effort into ABA races (Dave C. too) - but the press and the sponsors were hitting NBL, you never knew where you should be racing until after you'd been there - it could get pretty frustrating trying to keep up with it.
I wish it would have all been one sanction back then. NBL would have probably been the best for everyone - 3 motos, not for profit, everyone get's there monies worth.

Oh! I remember hitting that pole really hard and having a pretty spectacular crash - thanks to a little IA love tap going into the first turn.
If I remember right - Rob, Troy, Berger and I carpooled to that race in my Granada.

Tremco was around 80-81-ish, then Rondo 81-82-ish, then tahoe 82-83 and I think Jack sold them around that time.. I'm not exact, but I'm close

Bob Haro unveiled his signature limited edition shoes. Nike 6.0 also premiered their BMX film, WRITING ON THE WALL. The event took place December 10th, 2008 in Hollywood, California at the Montalban Theatre. Here's a little peak into the event...

At first I thought it was the Armory too, but it's not. The Armory didn't have 2 levels above the track. They both have the stage at the far end though. Compare the color pic of Sandberg to the B&W & you'll see. I could be wrong, but I raced at the Armory every winter for those 8 years. I grew up in Muscatine not far from Rock Island. After we couldn't get the Armory anymore, we raced at another indoor place right off 80 but I can't remember the name. That would be 85'?
BTW- we have been getting snow in Oakland/SF the last few days. Elevation? 2-300 feet

You are correct! Note the back wall. Funny, I don't remember the B-Ball court being there.
[/img]BTW (my gloating time...) The Uni-Dome was my 1st pro race that I won.
We're gonna have to get a bigger band-width on this thread now though, cuz my head is enlarging now that I start thinking of my road to fameless MNBMX history. Of course, 90% of you were still wearing diapers, squeezin' pimples and wondering what that funny feeling was when you woke up in the morning during that time.
My bad. This was the one I thought was the Corn Husker or some NE race.
On a side note: WE ALL have so much to be thankful for. Howie and now Dan Quigley (and others) have completely brought back all these old memories for a lot of us.
THANK YOU!

Ya think?
ya, the Quad Cities had allot of events (Rock Island, Bettendorf, Davenport and Moline). Some of THE longest trips ever (OMG). Basically a two lane road all the way to Iowa City (I-80) then it wasn't bad, but I know one trip took almost 8 hours 1 way (phug'n snow). Jeff was that with you??We do have allot to be thankful for....all these memories, but like most.... "ITS NEVER ENOUGH"
I have been blocked from all 83 photographs minus the shot KOP got of me. WTH? There's a tear in my diet MTN dew. (sniff) 
Mark, gloating about getting 1st in Pro isn't gloating....its just plain awesome! Right before I quit I thought about turning pro.....Lembke laff'd his arse off....LOL! Ya, probably not a good thing to do, but I was getting to the end of the ametuer line... shoooot!

I must have left at the right time too. I remember the NBL track that opened in 1982 that lasted like two weekends. I paid my membership fee and that was it. It's funny for me now since I live in a predominently NBL area. I have raced the NBL National circuit for the past 5 years and have enjoyed racing and meeting new people. I always looked to the ABA for my roots.
So what happend to the "NBA"? It was the first real sanction, we all saw the cool prism NBA decals on Stu's plate..... MN started off as NBA, then it was like gone!!! NBL was around in 79-80ish, then pooooof! ABA central.
NBA and NBL were very simular.

I hope Scott is faster than the last time I saw him about 15 years ago.... He was chasing me back then... Seeing all these people back into it is giving me the BMX itch! I REALLY want to come back but I think I am afraid of failure and I am already so busy with my kids sports, my wife would divorce me! I don't want to start all over again...

Shawn, I was part of the last of the 70's, all of the 80's (when I was on Sheeleys wheels) and there was 456 motos at the Grandnationals in Oklahoma, and part of the 90's, it definitely changed from my first race to my last race. We'll, maybe not my last race...

I really appreciate you guys driving this MN thread. It's great to see this old stuff I NEVER would imagined having laid eyes on again. When you guys came south to race, I had no ides it was possible at the time to go so fast. You guys elevated our scene & made it a blast to race hard.

Fly'n Iowa'n,
The sport started out pretty early in the stages considering where we lived (geographically). Once it hit the surrounding states we were established as a big bmx state. I mean look at the size of this thread and the first and second threads we started are in cyberspace. I don't remember when Iowa and Wisc had there first tracks, probably 78-79?? anyone?
I enjoyed racing Iowa more, probably because I basically lived on the Iowa border and made more trips to your state. IMO, there were more fast guys than MN had. At some point, Iowa rider count took off, because some of those dbl and triple pointers were HUGE events.... Crazy time!
