I contacted the Dirt Diggers and waiting to see if they've archived them. I don't know how much help they will give you, but the Sac Bee used to print all the results from the Sportsman day races at Prairie City. I don't know if they did the same for Plymouth or not.

5/11/2008 2:25 AM I worked there and remember they use to have the Amateur day results, but not in quite a number of years.
Back when it was at Plymouth, it use to be front page and front page sports articles since we had a lot of local expert racers and fans packing in the small town. LOOK AHEAD TO STAY AHEAD. |

www.sdautomuseum.org On Saturday, May 17, the “Motocross America” exhibit at the San Diego Auto Museum will hold at a special ceremony open to only 350 people. This is the one-and-only chance for motocross fans on the West Coast to see the Hall of Fame Museums “Motocross America” exhibit--which will be in the san diego Auto Museum through June. It will also be a chance for fans to meet-and-greet Roger DeCoster, Marty Tripes, Rex Staten, Broc Glover, David Bailey, Gary Jones, Steve Stackable, Lars Larsson and many others. ~ Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser ~

why would I show up the sport didnt do anything for me. not to sound so negative it wasnt what you think back then towards me or my mother. And I understand that, but the industry has a way of making good of the past, and how things were.
I know almost everybody involved with "Motocross America"...I really think things would be different. However, I also can imagine how you feel, and I feel for what your mother may have went through. The world was cruel to men of color (as they put back then) I for one never understood the difference, of one to the next, not by race anyway. Here's what I will do, but only if you wish. I will talk to Tom White, he owns "The early years of Motocross" museum. In a few months everything will be back at his house. Maybe we can get familiar with each other and can make a difference in the reality of the first Black Pro. This is all up to you, I stand to gain nothing. But I would like to see some pictures if you have any. Message me, and I'll give you my email address. I think it would be nice to set the record straight. ~ Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser ~

what do you mean by check my pm? Click on your screen name and there should be a personal message there that I sent to you. Either that or it may have been sent to you in an e-mail. I think that's how it works.

5/13/2008 5:43 AM Your name is on the upper left Leon.
Wasn't there another black rider named Mark Luster back in those days? I remember him, but I don't recall him making Expert ranks. Do you recall him? Team Tenny, you raced in the same class I did...I highlighted myself although they spelled my last name wrong. You're #91 in Division 2... I e-mailed the Dirt Diggers to no avail and since I worked at the Bee for almost 20 years, so next time I pay a visit there soon, I'll check to see what they have. Use to be always the first weekend of April Hangtown use to be.. LOOK AHEAD TO STAY AHEAD. |

Click on the link above, there's some larger pics of the item andy posted above. Shows the entire sportsman lineup from 1978 Hangtown. The thread has 3 pages and there's some pictures from Plymouth, so take a look at the other pages too. I think the Early years of MX Museum thing that Slow Pro mentioned would be a great way for you to get some recognition that you certainly deserve. Fascinating subject matter in my opinion. I personally would love to see any pictures that you have, shown on this forum if possible. |
