Title: The beginning, Pics of Eastway under construction
Post by: RATTY on June 23, 2007, 11:33 PM: My Mate Pete, DJ PJ when he is on here told me ages ago, that his dad was foreman in charge of building EASTWAY BMX track. Well after waiting for a few months his dad Ken found them for me. Eastway was a special track for me, the nearest to my house and I managed a 3rd place in my very first national.
And going past last weekend, it looks as though its been levelled :'(
