When I worked at the shop back in the day, I built myself a custom 24" SE Floval Flyer that I raced at the old Ascot BMX track in Gardena, Calif. When I saw this bike, it totally reminded me of the bike I built for myself in the early 80's.
You could hear the engines roar from our house straight down 190th st a mile or two away!!! We sat at the empty stands on the first left turn once during sprint car races and got pelted with flying mud DUH hahaha, Oh that’s why no one’s sitting here lol 🏎🏎
Ed Roth was doing a meet and greet at Ascot around 1968 and I distinctly remember his gray goatee, top hat, and friendly demeanor. We lived just on the other side of the 405 in Carson and could hear everything going on at Ascot. We went to the sprint car, figure eight and demolition derbies a bunch there in the late 1960's.
