Perry Park
Not been since early 90's, looks real tame compared to modern tracks!

Grab a copy of the Kelloggs BMX series from DodgyDave,then you can see it in action...together with all the wipeouts on the crazy first turn!

That first turn died a long time ago, nice fast downhill straight soon after. Awesome in it's day :4_17_5:

Post by: Brandy Truffle on January 22, 2008, 04:22 PM: Yea, first round of the Kels held there the first turn was killin' everyone... by the time they returned for the later round it had been changed.

Was one of the best tracks in its day,everyone loved it..That first section was Sooo fast.
