2/20/2009 6:46 PM I can feel the love in this room! I'm glad I'm not the only one old enough to remember that hill.

How about the Penton clan of McDougal, Garrett, and LaPorte? I use to race, flag and sneak into that place every time it was open. You forgot Chuck Bower!

Anyone remember when there were ponds in the infield? Yes & Also remember some joker trying to put me into it one night!
It didn't work to well for him & his CZ as I just leaned on him & took him out in the corner. |

You forgot Chuck Bower! Yeah, forgot about him. How about Dave Pessy (sp?) rode on Ossa's, everyone called him Pussy, fast rider but just another hot head who cried foul all the time when he lost.

I'm 50 of course I remember the ponds!
The night of my very first win in the 100 class Bill Bixby and the cast of "Courtship of Eddie's father" where handing out the trophies. Now I'm sure I'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who was there THAT night. (About 73' I think) I remember Bixby had to leave early because his wife was sick in the hospital at the time. (I think she died). I remember being about 12 and watching Dave Pessy ride that little practice course behind "HOCKY Cycles" on Figueroa, south of Carson St. (Near Harbor General Hospital) Now called "Harbor UCLA Medical Center".

2/21/2009 4:47 PM Hey, in the March issue of "MOTORCYCLIST", (The kid's school had a magazine subscription fundraiser, I had to order something) There's a cool artical on the "First Superbowl of Motoross" at the LA Colisuem. (Yes, being a local I went. Still have the souvenir "Hot hat" around here somewhere. Remember it had the course map printed on top?) Anyway, there's a story about Tripes where he tells how "Joel Robert" taught him how to ride down the "BIG HILL" at Saddleback.. So we weren't the only ones a little intiminated. I guess we were in pretty good company. I just point the bike down the hill and try to "Float" to a smooth two-wheeled landing. (Like the little drop off on the backside of the REM track at Glen Helen)

Chris...I am trying to land you the 2007 CRF450, that I won the 2008 California State Motocross Championship, on.
It has a great engine, slightly modified, but bullet proof, Dick's racing, just did the suspension prior to my win. It could use some plastic, but other than that, I wish I owned it instead of just racing it once in awhile. Without the following support, my race program would not be worthy:

Does anyone remember one particular Wednesday night at ASCOT during the summer of 82 when a REALLY HOT BLOND CHICK WITH A KILLER BODY, and wearing bright orange bib overalls, was getting everyone's attention and ended up having her way with a local racer in Greg Vitali's stationwagon? (Parked not far behind the concession stand in the pits?)
you stud you...sure it wasn't bauer?

He posted a photo of how the girl looks today. Hey, just ask Ron Turner or John DeSoto. They were there and they remember! I only wish I was remembered for my racing instead of being attacked by a drunk, (But very hot) chick from South Torrance. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and

We always did and I remember a few times some "brothers" would jump the fence with us and we would all run like hell into the pits. Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms,

3/21/2009 11:41 AM I just rid them under blankets in the back of the van. (Hey, I could barely afford the entry fees back then) Sorry Stu, I'll pay you back with interest when I see you. (I don't think the kids missed any meals because of it) ;-)

3/22/2009 11:21 PM Hello Chris,
That's it...keep the memories coming from CMC Motocross at Ascot . My blue Dodge van and D50 pick-up carried my track photography display there for years. I sure miss those incredible races between ''Radical" Ron Turner and Todd Peterson. Haven't seen Ron in a long time but visited Todd yesterday at his Swolen store in Anaheim. Tim Lunde always comes to mind when I think of Ascot and so does my Whittier neighbor Jeff Conlin. I was there for the finale in 1990. Right now I'm going through the negative envelopes and writing down bike numbers. Okay..here's my question...did I take that one-handed shot of you on the #36 maico and or the suzuki picture in your profile section? |

Great to hear from you. I left you a message on your work phone a while back! You took both of those photos! Remember the story you did on me in Cycle News? -- Cycle News Volume XIX ; Number 15 ; April 28, 1982 --- Thanks! It meant a lot. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and

I used to be at Ascot every Wednesday night during 80-85, Used to pit for Jeff Conlin #470, Husqvarna ,He was the only guy wearing "Leathers" in the pro class. I knew Dickie and his dad, and uncle...the whole gang. Jeff Hofmiester #48H used to hang out with us. Always a good time. I've even gone trail riding with Aldana, Great guy and amazing rider Hey CRAZE,
Say hello to Dickie and the group for me. I'm sure they'll remember. Those were the days. (Sheeeet, I sound like my dad) ;-O big sigh Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and
