The bicycle race was held the following year in 2000. I finished 3rd and received enough money to buy a t-shirt. Kids from all over raced including Ronnie Gardner from Cali and some PA Posse kids. It was the beginning of many great friendships that still continue today. The other race that weekend was held on Sunday afternoon after rain caused a lot problems. It was won by Jay Drake in the Kunz mobile and had a terrible wreck to start the feature on the front stretch. Still one of my the favorite memories from that weekend was Ratboy destroying a lawn chair and eventually throwing it on top of the pavilion roof. Good times with a lot of great people!
