We breed them right over here!! I think its something in the water, or ice right now! I think it has allot to do with the fact that most of these kids have been riding arenacross since they were little kids on 50's and 60's. You gotta remember, Drew Wolfe and Actionsports racing was one of the originators of arenacross way back in the 80's.

Yeah, it's interesting. I know there are a lot of fast guys in Ohio.

They are cleaning house right now for sure...

Yeah Friday, we had some fun at a few arenacrosses. Good ole Donnie Urban and his dually in Huntington?? Good times!! Drew took some time off after he sold his series a few years back, but now does 1 arenacross a year over in Huntington WV and is still around since his oldest boy races the local A class. Plenty of snow and ice here in ohio tonight Friday, may as well come back and ride indoors with us!!

there was a pretty sweet indoor track I rode at when I lived in Cleveland. And I can attest to the shitty ass weather.

We used to cruise around Huntington around race time in that big black dually, with black windows and he had about a $5000 sound system blasting NWA.Laughing Woohoo Good times. And I accidently pulled the fire alarm in the hotel.Blink Yeah,I'd love to be back there riding in the snow. Gonna be 70 out here tomorrow!Angry Cool

Drews Huntington indoor is next weekend.
My house is about 10 minutes from the arena.
He still promotes about 3 races a year and is one of the best promoters d11 has.

Another reason there are so many D11 guys up front is that they didn't get an sx ride this year. The Ohio/PA area isn't Florida or Cali, but there are tons of fast guys around here.

HA, i forgot all about the little fire alarm incident Friday!! Who could have done such a thing Smile Damn kids!! Weather is definitely sucking in Ohio right now, we are sitting on probably 4 inches of snow and 2 inches of ice on top of that!! SUCKS! Can't do anything but ride in the little arenas!!
