    Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't it just outside of New bethlehem on the northern side of town in a place called mayport? i live about 30 mins from there. lol A few more miles up the road, there's a sportsmans shop that sells MAX's now. Guy has a max2 on the roof. its been there since i was just a squirt. However, i DO recall seeing the 6wheeler AATV sign out along 28/66 north though for the mayport dealer. There used to be boat sales back in there as well. we traveled this route ALOT on our way to camp which was in portland mills. This would have been in late 80's.

    Bill, any clue which stip job it was? Chances are i've rode on the same sacred ground as the original racers have. lol

    From my dusty memory, I remember a road on the right, while going north out of mayport on 28. The road immediately went under a rail road bridge. The railroad followed along the side of the road there. I also remember a sign saying OHL 3 mile with that arrow pointing to that road. I think it was near that brick yard. I remember Fischers could not get the scrambler van under the bridge and had to go along way around.

    Yes, Attex in a Box. Look at all those shiny new machines. Just beautiful.

    Those pics are great. You can thank Mom & Dad for passing on the fever.

    This is a promo pic of Construction Company using Attex's out in the bottom of the "Dry Niagra riverbed", near the edge of the American side of Niagara falls. You can see the Canadian side flowing on the right side of the pic. This was in 1969 when the army corps of engineers shut the American side off for testing and studies. I think it was dry from July to
    november 1969. So if anyone ever asks you if a Attex ever crossed the Niagara River at the edge of the falls. Don't put money on the "no" answer

    Yup, after you pass under the train bridge, just a little ways up road, there is now a beer distributor on the right hand side. We're both referring to the same place.
