10/26/2009 3:11 PM   Check out this old pic of Harry at the lower webco flat. Look at that hat! The hat always cracked me up! Below: It's Dave and Chris Taylor to the left and Bruce and Ralph Bunch to the right. The pics are kind blurry. Both Taylor and Bunch were on the KX 80 for 80, and 81' and this is before they left for Ponca 1981. Look at those red neck hats! Oh, I think a little pre adolescence had set in with Taylor. It look's like he has a socket ratchet in his pants! |

Me and Chris Taylor on the gate Ponca City 79.
Cool Picture, I remember that start gate for 1983 Ponca races, it looks the same. Wownd were you there at R&D the same time as Lechien or Troy Blake on 80's, did you race 125's after your mini days?

Yeah i hung out with Troy and lil Rudy Goerge Holland, Pat Galen, Mark Meredith etc, i rode R&D bikes from late 78 till late 1980, went on to 125's played in 125 intermediate for a couple months then bumped to pro, found out how out of shape i was! how about you?

10/28/2009 2:19 PM My racing background:
Started racing at OCIR 1981 KX80 Raced 125 Int 1983 and Pro 1984-86 mostly NMA, CMC and other clubs in California I remember racing NMA pro 125 and being up against some riders who are some of the greats, Bobby Moore, Larry Brooks, Jeff Matasivich, Mike Healey, Mike Fisher, Mike Kiedrowski, Willie Surratt, Todd Campbell, Sam Storer, Paul Denis, Bader Manneh, Kurt Henrickson, Billy Frank, it’s no wonder I had a hard time finishing in the top ten. Lived near Jeff Ward and started to hang out with him a bit 1985/86. He really opened my eyes to what level of conditioning/dedication/talent it took to be great. |

Bruce Bunch didn't have any brothers.
Your right Parkers dad! Except, for his Harry's Cycle Bro's such as yourself.
Look for a new Harry's topic, I talked to Chip V yesterday and we need to get everyone together for some old time fun and stories. |

I sent Chris Taylor some picks of him and me at Ponca city haven't heard back from him or seen him on here in the past few days. I figured it out "CO" I used to race with you at Corona Raceway and Saddleback. You had a station wagon right? You probably don't remnember me, but most likely would recognize me. I used to race with Taylor and always ran Corona/Saddleback and Barona Oaks. I would have been on Harry's team, but my dad passed away, and that was the end of my moto days. I could'nt keep up with Chris any longer and the cost of racing at this stage began to be way to expensive for me. Chris was super talented and had the zeil to win.

11/3/2009 3:56 PM  It's 1982 and Bunch has taken the wholeshot at Saddleback. I see #4 Larry Brooks, and I think Troy Blake #5. Can anyone name the rest? #1 on the Honda? Kawasakis up top? Look at Bunch and notice his upright style. Kinda like the bomber"Barnet". Also, notice he has the power on and is charging hard for Webco. Bunch was so smooth, look at his foot just skimming the ground. Awesome! btw: I know it 82 because he is on the full floater. BTW: Picture: Tom Corley |

11/3/2009 12:26 AM  There is also a rider crashing to the left of #99 Mike Healey. I wonder who that might have been? Sure glad that I took that shot. There is another Bruce Bunch holeshot from the back track that I'm getting ready to print up. |

My brother was the first ever Team Green rider ever, I remember watching him in second place at Ponca chasing Rick Hemme, One lap later he crashed in a turn and had his finger and thumb cut off. 
I thought Billy Liles and Curt McCustion were the first team green riders but there may have been more than just those two. I'm looking for Curt McCustion haven't seen him in years, I was told he's in bad shape now but would love to get caught up with him !!
