You can still see Track #2 on your way to Red Bud..... they just don't ride there anymore. Think Toledo Airport exit........... and you'll get it.

And Track #1 was right off of I-77 just South of New Philadelphia exit......... had a barn with Name of a raceway on it for years, circle track place! You can get that one too....... then.

Seems that there are plenty of Track #3 for sure posts already!

Heard his kid has beat some Phelps records.. Bill also recently dealt with some health issues but last time I saw him he was kicking ass. Our Christmas prime rib always comes from his shop.

There was a track on Grafton road just west of Marks road in either Brunswick [Liverpool] or Columbia Station. Not sure of the name, it was short lived probably around 1970. George Singler may of had something to do with it

Close to the intersection of Marks and Grafton there was a company named HOSS Industries and they used to make motocross footpegs. They were not making any trick lightweight pegs, they were making just a steel peg with a tooth pattern on it so that your boots would grip them. Keep in mind that a lot of the early mx bike were converted enduro bikes which were really street bikes and they came with rubber footpegs which were horrible in the wet.
