I did what I know of the 3 states I raced in growing up.
Pennsylvania
Maryland
New Jersey

Maybe peeps can add to what I wrote about those 3 states or start threads for their own states etc.
I didn't list tracks from old Sanctioning papers BTW. Many tracks listed in the Sanctions Track Lists, never even existed.

Toms River i think was the Red Pony Indoor track (in a barn) in Lakewood? Englishtown WWBA (Never raced wwba). Was that the end of the NBMXA? Did it change names to World Wide BMX Assoc at the end, or were they totally different?
If different were was the wwba located and anyone know the name of their publication? Did they have one?

Wow the New Jersey track history shows 22 tracks! And i know im missing at least one in south jersey that was aba i think. I was living out west then. and one aba nor jersey track and probalby some others still.

Thanks Walter and Brad for the latest track additions.

The WWBA evolved out of the NBA around late '80. Oakland and Englishtown were the only tracks in NJ when the NBA changed over to the WWBA that 1st year. It wasn't very big... there were only a handful of tracks in the country. It believe it was run out of NJ, but it did have ties to Ernie Alexander, who was a promoter from Ca.

From '82 on I was racing mainly NBL nationals and locally at Braddock, JC Armory (in the winter) and Howell.

Kool thanks guys.
The two tracks missing for sure, someone must remember.
1 was in Williamstown or near there (south jersey) and was ABA mid 80s.
1 was in North Jersey for years in the 90s and was ABA.

Cool thanks endless. I also got the North Jersey one I was thinking of (Secauscus).
I was having fun remembering all the tracks I've been to. So I added a SoCal and NorCal list as well on that site.
