Yes, the "amazing site..." is still under construction and it is going to be really good.

trick121- Thanks for posting this topic. What kind of bike are you riding in that picture?

bigmaico- Keep searching.

Craze- Dave, what an adventure it was traveling in the '74 Dodge van to Hangtown in Plymouth and the USGP in Carlsbad.

maicoman- Val Tamietti was a great rider on a Track 'n Travel Maico...and I'm sure you are not slow.

It was all good...and it still is!

Everything from early red and white FMF jerseys with the airplane on the front on my x9 Hondas to my DG days with 7h to 42 to 45 to 129 and other numbers...let me know if you run across any of them. Saw lots of Davey Williams in there!

I highly recommend this Pipeline Digital Media produced DVD.

Craze-It's true that the picture you posted wasn't mine, but it sure was a good one. Most of my Davey Williams shots from Saddleback are when he had #32. Interestingly, you just posted that picture of Hannah led by Williams when they flashed that very one in the One Chance to Win film. I should mention that I talked to both Davey and his brother Rocky. They were hangin' out with other Old School Moto riders at the Swolen shop before the second Anaheim SX.

Law131-Sounds like you knew how to handle the Saddleback clay during the day...Wardy was another thing though.

Bauer-Thank you too! It's great to be in contact with the great Steve Bauer. I have your bike numbers taped to my pc and will be tracking down those hot shots of you...oh here were go...some more of you dicing at OCIR!

I have that “One Chance to Win” DVD. I was a spectator at the round in NY at Motomasters Park just North of Syracuse. It was a brutally hot and humid NY summer day.

Motomasters Park in the closest thing we had in NY to Saddleback with an important difference. Motomasters is a rough sand track. It wouldn’t whoop out like Southwick. Southwick would get deep rolling whoops. Motomasters would get rolling whoops and deep square edged killer whoops. It was that track that trained most of us NYers to ride sand and badly whooped out tracks.

Motomasters would also run practice during the week. That National in 75 was the only one held there and the track runs a full season schedule to this day.

One of the owners, Carmen Ricelli, used to live right down the street from me in Syracuse. He had a chiropractic office (imagine that) that he recently closed.

I had a camera with me and took shots of those Old School Moto riders who were there. Oh yes, I need to post those on this site.

You've got a nice shot on your site of Jeff Jennings on his #30 Wheelsmith Maico from 1978. I remember back then you had another of him, possibly the same day, on the downhill left hand sweeper after the plateau jump...JJ had the bike sideways class-c style and shooting a big roost. I'd love to see that one again.

We had a Greg "Nuclear" Neukam that did a lot of the NorCal CN stuff. Same era as us both. Just mentioned if you ever knew or heard of him. Supposedly still up here, but MIA for years....Know he has to have tons of stuff.

Also did one of the Sears Trans-AMAs for Modern Cycle. Got think 3 pics in that one issue; the '77 race think Sun won; just got slides and no scanner; hope one day to.

Funny you mention pics in box; had so many of many Pros like BobbyM, Shultz, Magoo; too many to count....that box is long gone with the Modern Cycle. Peek at Ebay once/while and see if issue is up for bid.....one day hope it pops up.

Saw a former Expert at the Lackey race; he still has a few pics I took and gave to him; but still makes me sick how many pics I had and poof....not saying they were the greatest; just the fact of having them and like losing part of your life.

Thanks for being in the sport and for all you contributed to it. I remember at least one or two of those papers you were involved with. Seems you did a lot of CN articles.

Too bad the sport is no longer as popular locally and all the track gone now. Remember 4-5 Divisions of Nov; 2-3 Int; even sometimes 2 of 125 and 250 Experts. Some like a mini Nationals with the named riders; was exciting as heck.

We all were sure lucky to have been a part of the best and most historical times MX have had.

Be cool to see some of those World Mini Progs....and some more pics for sure.

I knew editor Dale Brown well and also John Ulrich who lived up the street in La Mirada. Rex Reese and I covered the 1977 Hangtown for MODERN CYCLE. My first turn shot of #26 "Radical" Ron Turner became the cover photo. Donny Emler liked it so much that he used it for the cover of the 77/78 FMF catalog.
The mini riders are so special to me. Bruce Bunch and Ricky Hemme are always in my thoughts. I can always remember CRF rider Larry Brooks talking to me at OCIR. For sure I helped Jeff Ward with his archive because his father Jack always got pictures from me. Just found the coolest picture from the 1988 World Mini Gran Prix that I took for Ricky Carmichael. He won three trophies that were taller than he was! So yes, I will be bringing out more pictures of the former mini stars for everyone to see.

mr50racer- So your mom didn't keep anything of you? I'm going to find stuff for both you and your mom.

It's time for all Old School Moto riders to bring their pictures out of the box and start sharing them with others...that's what I am doing.
