Piston Poppers Raceway

Piston Poppers Raceway Motorcycle racing. The Piston Poppers were founded on the premise of being an off-road type club. All events had to be AMA Sanctioned.

To become a member you had to enter two off-road type events such as enduros, reliability runs, scramble races or amateur hill climbs. The first meeting was held on January 29, 1952 at the home of Edgar and Margaret Kauffman in Atglen, PA. Ed and Margaret, two of the original club members, were the successful owners of Kauffman's Cycles in Christiana, PA for many years, and they were instrumental

in promoting motorcycling to many local young men and women. Some of these enthusiasts went on to race at the Piston Popper Track and even some became Professional Motorcycle Racers. Harold Martin, one of the original members, suggested that the club name should be Piston Poppers, because so many of the racers were popping pistons. We held our first race on October 19, 1952 on a 1/10 mile track... Entry fee back then was only 75 cents. The first club house was erected, with the first meeting being held on October 22, 1953. It was built by the members, and is our current refreshment stand. In 1963, the club purchased a new clubhouse on Churchtown Road, in Cain, PA. We hold meetings every Thursday evening at 8:00 PM. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who help us in getting our track race-ready, and the Parkesburg/Pomeroy Fire Companies for their support at our events. Anyone who has pictures from our events and would like to see it posted on the page, feel free to send them to [email protected] and we will get them posted to the site.... Also if you need to get in touch with us, feel free to call for information (484)336-9160. If you are interested in helping out, please see one of the members at the track during one of our races, they will be wearing red t-shirts. All of our events are run by Volunteers.

Last night, the flat track racing community lost one of its own. Dan Bromley wasn't just an incredible racerโ€”he was someone who inspired so many through his passion, dedication, and love for the sport.

Our hearts are with Dan's family, friends, teammates, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. The racing community is more than a competition; it's a family, and today we all grieve together.

May we honor Dan's memory by holding our loved ones a little closer and continuing to support one another both on and off the track. His impact on our sport will never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Dan. You'll always have a place in our hearts and in the racing family. ๐Ÿโค๏ธ

Thank you for supporting the Mellinger family during this tragic time.

Thank you to the family of Brad Lee Phillips Jr for allowing all of us to ride together in his honor.

๐Ÿšจ Fatherโ€™s Day Problem Solved

Looking for something to do with Dad tomorrow?!

Sure, you could get him another pair of socks ๐Ÿงฆ
or a new pack of golf balls heโ€™ll eventually loseโ›ณ๏ธ

OR you could bring him to Piston Poppers Raceway for a day of roaring engines, family fun, and some delicious BBQ from My Marieโ€™s BBQ and Lil Red Wagon BBQ! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”ฅ

Because letโ€™s be honest, Dad probably doesnโ€™t need more stuff. He needs good food, the smell of race fuel, and quality time with his favorite people.

Weโ€™ll be serving up all the BBQ favorites starting at 10:30am, so come hungry and celebrate Fatherโ€™s Day the tasty way!

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Fatherโ€™s Day
๐Ÿ Racing + BBQ = Dadโ€™s Perfect Day

Tag a dad who would rather have BBQ than another tie! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Wishing all the best dads (and moms who act as dads too) the best today!
