The roar of the engine sends my heart racing as I pull out on to the track, one lap around and we are off, trucks at my side as we glide around the turns. The slick dirt pulling my back end around I move my hands, my automatic controls, the only thing keeping me from spinning out. It’s funny really because clichés aren’t my thing, however, at times idioms are just the thing to describe a situation or time period in one’s life, for instance the saying that “life is a roller coaster” couldn’t be…

taking major traction (no pun intended) in the 70s (at least in the US) as bicycle racing and later into different forms like street, which is the form of BMX I will be focusing on, in this article.

It was not unusual to go racing on a Saturday night and spend the whole time as my Grandfathers crew chief.

This particular racing is not NASCAR though, the class is called Modified. I…
