    Attex History

    I dug out my old NATVA magazines and started going through them when we got back from Ashtabula and I've been finding some really cool stuff. I must have forgotten this Attex article, but it deserves to mentioned, I think. The whole article is pretty cool, telling the story of how Attex got it's start in Glenshaw PA. I linked to this page in particular because is has some ties to one of our members. Check the name of the guy giving the class on the Baker/Hill.

    Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

    (6) Attex, a Hustler, a Super Swamp Fox, (2) Tricarts, (3) Tri-sports, a Sno-co trike, 3 Dunecycles, and a Starcraft! ...so far

    That is cool Don I wish I was there for the class, I would learn some things for sure.
    See the America Motel sign? It is still there, our team stays there twice a year while we are at the Baja races. Very nice owners they always have a Taco dinner waiting after our long days and Coronas of course.
