    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.

    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

My jaw hit the floor when I saw these, and every picture that you guys have posted so far! It looks like there were a lot of workers in that factory too. And then the semi trailer with twenty three 208TT's.......WOW!!!
    23(did count, taking your word, lol)......23 208tt. One has a hitch option.

    Wonder why the first 2 rows dont have the rear tires?

    This stuff needs to go in the manual section or literature section I guess. Cool stuff!
