Hello,I'm new on this forum so I thought I'd introduce myself.I'm Arnold,I used to race bmx when I was a teenager,then moved up to go-karts and then race cars.I bought a used xc bike off ebay last year to get in better shape for racing and remembered how much I love riding bikes!!!I now have a 29'er single speed xc bike,a Brodie freeride bike for mountain creek (wich is right down the street from me)and a soul cycles dirt jumper that I've been bringing to the indoor skate park in Hackettstown.I live very near to both Waywayanda and Mountain Creek,and also do some riding at Jungle Habitat,as my father in law lives over in the development off Mountain Circle dr.I'm keeping my eye out for when people post info on rides happening in my area,as I would love to meet up with other riders and make some new buds.See on the trails...Arnold
 
Howdy Arnold ! Welcome aboard. You live near some excellent riding areas and will no doubt meet a bunch of cool folk, probably because of the 29er. 😀
 
Welcome aboard next thing you need to do is get a road bike to round out your stable...right Frank🙄
 
For some reason I read the whole introduction in my TERMINATOR voice. Weird right? Maybe I'll see you at the creek., welcome.
 
Hey Arnold! Welcome.

What kind of karts & cars did you (do you?) race?

I'm a X-Rotax & X-Formula Continental guy, myself...
 
Wecome aboard. Feel free to hit me up if you want to do an Allamuchy ride one of these days. I too ride a 29r SS.
 
Welcome aboard, Arnold. I'm near Waway. Hit me up next time you head in there. Like Reggie, I too ride a 29er SS, rigid though😀
 
Forgerson,As far as karts go I ran mostly 4 stroke stockers and sr sportsman kt 100 on a regular basis,but also ran kt 100,piston port light,super stock 4 cycle,modified 4 cycle,reed/rotory light,and formula-y as far as road corse racing went.I also ran dirt oval with the 4 strokes and sometimes still do if a ride comes along.I ran up at Cuddybackville as a regular,but have been all over the east coast racing karts ,running both ikf and wka regional and national events.As far as race cars go I ran street stock and pro stock oval track stock cars on both dirt and pavement in the early 90's.I've also ran mini-cup cars,micro stocks and got to do some testing in an IMCA modified that I used to pit crew for.I currently have a couple of slingshot series race cars but there is a good chance I'll be putting those up for sale shortly.Sorry for the long answer to a simple question but there's twenty five years of racing to account.
 
Como estas Arnold! I'm new too! I used to race bmx when i was young lad. I had an SE Quadangle. Dope bike.. What kind of car racing did you do? I used to drag race old school Toyotas and Datsuns.
 
I've turned a lap or two up at OVRP myself several years back. 'Just couldn't get into the kart thing. My friend Bruce (X-Formula Atlantic driver) and I tried really, really, hard to get into it, but alas, neither one of us could.

Dunno' if it was because we were getting old, or it seemed too much like pretending after the Formula cars, or neither one of us could figure out those suspension/differential-less things well enough to find that last tenth of a second to be a front runner (which of course, frustrated the hell out of us as running well in Formula cars was much easier for both of us).

Anyway, now I'm content (ish) going slow on one of these two wheeled, non-motorized things....

You'll need to come up north for a ride...we'd have a good time bench racin' 😀
