Very cool. Memories to last a life time. Go NorCal.

Pretty sure he'll be racing Hangtown National. There was a race at the Prairie City/Hangtown track on April 28th...top three were Bogle, Epstein, and Wey.

Tumblin, great insight. Enjoyed the reference to Pat Richter....that guy was a bad ass. Never, ever, ever quit. Fkn Bulldog. Still remember a race at Hangtown Speedway in Placerville around '72 or '73....not the Hangtown National Track, just a little ... more »

Was out at the Dodge National in NorCal today watching a little of the practice. In the Pro/Exp practice a KX450 (not sure if '12 or '13) blew a head gasket after about four laps. No bueno.

Wanted to post a quick update on the perfromance mods I did on the '12 YZF450. Got a used low hour Akropovic pipe from a friend a couple of months ago, and it was a major improvement. About a month ago got a low hour GYTR head w/cams from another buddy, ... more »

Very cool. Congratulation to Hailey for her championship.

Thanks, that's a good idea. Dubach is a great guy. He remapped my 450 at Mammoth this year and was super friendly.

David Gassin and his girlfirend Hailey Larson (who is kickin' butt up North) are great people. Don't know them well, but have talked to them at the local NorCal tracks many times. To say that they're racing in Canada on a shoestring budget would be an ... more »

I can speak to the Cortisone as I've had three injections to my left knee in the past year. The first two were amazing. Doc used a little numbing jell on the knee before the injection. The Cortisone also had some Lidocaine mixed in which numbed the knee ... more »

Agree. Very cool to see Wharton win Indy, and the Suzukis are definitely more than competative this year. Way to go.

Ricky Ryan is comin' out of retirement.

Any form of racism is just plain stupid, and it's unfortunate that anyone has to experience it. But if James thinks racism doesn't exist all over the country, and all over the world for that matter, he's pretty naive. I'd be willing to bet he'll hear ... more »

Daniel Blair won the lites class also. Great ride.

Your pops told ya wrong. I don't know BobbyM personally, and he's a dick some of the time.......no, most of the time. He didn't have the speed/talent to run with the very top NorCal big dogs at the time, but he was pretty damn good. Way better than mid ... more »

Guess somebody forgot to tell John Dowd about being too old to make it.

That was cool. Thanks for posting.

I hear ya, brother. The no triples on the first lap idea may or may not be ideal.....that's not really even the point. But at least it should be considered and honestly debated. In looking at the responses it seems like alot of people here would agree. ... more »
