Velodrome

[Itype2slo]

I went to a large lawn mower shop in Anaheim today for parts and guidance the guy I talked to said the owner was the minibikes guy. A minute later the owner came out fixed my throttle and we talked for a while. The man was a wealth of knowledge I mentioned OldMiniBikes he said he knows those guys. He then out of the blue asked if I was going to the races in industry next week he then told me about riding minis in the encino velodrome if you were ever to see it it would be a dream he said he rode with the San Fernando guys it sounded awesome. I looked up the thread Encino Velodrome. it sounded like it went political and ugly.Too Bad it went that way. I can't believe you guys rode the velodrome. How sweet that must of been too bad guys got hurt. But the freaking velodrome.wow.

I was born and raised in Anaheim and as a kid with minis in early 70's there was a lawnmower shop and the young kid who worked there at the time was the mini bike guy , he bought fixed and sold minis , I wonder if it's same guy , I wanna say his name was Dennis but can't be sure on that !:thumbsup:

That was my first minibike race ever on a stock anza framed Tek 6.5hp motor with a tav and I finished 4th place!
It was really fun! too bad it couldn't happen again.
