Yup, I worked there for about 5 years during my Jr. High School days and High School days. Just saw Leroy a few weeks back, his kid Chris is still kicking butt in flat track out in Europe and Leroy still does ice racing

Weird and small world.

Do you happen to remember a kid they used to call Cram? That was my name spelled backwards and I always caught sht from the guys down there. I think I may even still have a RAD racing jersey. As I recall Bobby even stole my girlfriend back then :lol:

This is too weird.

Boy marc your name Eludes me. The people that stand out are of course the owner Leroy Richeradt, his son Chris, Gumby, Daughter Terry. There was some mechanicsk, Gary Glazenap, Dave Medrud, Sales guys, Cliffard, Gary Merrill etc. there was a bunch more, but I have to kick in the long term memory. I still remember when Bob Hannah came in for a pulicity stunt
