Two more rounds are up! Broome Tioga 1997 is HERE and Steel City 1997 is HERE

Next up is High Point 1998. I did attend the Pontiac SX in 1998, but the pictures are so blurry that it's not worth scanning. Definitely used the wrong settings/film in that situation. EDIT: Actually Pontiac 1998 pics are OK. It was Pontiac 96-97 that was useless. Southwick 1998 didn't yield many either (just 4 scans from there, it was raining a lot so that's my excuse) Smile

Anyone know who this is?

856 might be Chris Gosselaar. I'm not sure though. I remember a 125 rider being on that team but can't think of who it is for sure.

I raced the Vet race that weekend and beat Chuck Sun......... I try not to let the fact that his Husaberg broke, get in the way of a good story.

Jeff was hauling at that point. Good memories.

Funny that Dan Gosen's name came up yesterday, that is who I was traveling with. We hooked up with Posten and had some laughs.

Three more races are uploaded. They are the Pontiac SX, High Point and Southwick all from 1998.

Most of the pictures from Pontiac are not very clear, but I scanned them anyway. Also, I didn't get many pictures from Southwick because of the rain.

Here are a few:

Scanned in my pics from Red Bud 1996. Some moisture or humidity ruined some of the pics and made them stick together. What really sucks it was a batch that I had autographed. I was able to salvage some of them, but there are about 5-6 more that basically "glued"together and are trash. Evil Angry I going to see if I can recruit a few friends to make the drive out there next year. It would be really awesome if Red Bud and Millville were on consecutive weekends because that would mean I would try to figure out a way to hit up both of them.

Here's the link for the rest of the pics and few are below.







Is that Kenny Watson wrenching on Sheak's bike?

Question, 1997 Steel City, Where was lamson? I didn't think Sheak was on the Factory honda till 98? I have slept and killed many brain cells since then.

Ps thanks again Rusky!

I'm pissed that the picture got boogered up and ruined. I have another cool shot of Swink autographed from Budds Creek 1996. I can't find the original but this is a picture of the picture. I had it blown up to an 11x14.

I'm pretty sure he was still on factory Honda. I never took a lot of pictures in the pits to have any shots of the bikes under the tents to be sure. I think both were under the Factory Honda tent in '97.

Did Lammy get hurt in 97?

Also what year did Kiedrowski come back to ride a number 100 Honda of Troy?

I had to go look at the vault on RacerX to see race results. It looks like Lamson missed a few rounds in 1997 like High Point, Budd's Creek, and Troy, OH. It also looks like Kiedrowski raced 250SX that year on a Honda and a few rounds of 250MX as well, but not the entire season. The Vault and Numerology on PulpMX came in handy when scanning these pics in. I knew most of them, but some I needed some help.

So it was the MX Kied with #100 in 97 and Brown with it in 98?

The pics from Red Bud have been emailed all around my family to laugh at my uncle in the background, as he is still dressed as a hippy 18 years laterLaughing

I think so. Brown definitely was #100 in 1998. When I went through my 1997 pics, I didn't see any of a #100.

LOL...I was curious if anyone on here would see themselves or someone that they knew in the background. Cool stuff!

Finished scanning in my pics from Broome Tioga 1998. Check them out HERE I uploaded 129 from this event. Steel City 1998 is the next one. Looks like 8-9 rolls of film shot there to go through.

Steel City 1998 pics are up. Scanned in 128 from the races and 30 or so from the spur of the moment freestyle show by Mike Jones, Travis Pastrana and Jeff Wiloh. Here's the link for the RACE PICS and the FMX PICS

As always a few here....





















DC was in attendance

Ruskymx, I think this might be Jason Frenette from Canada. I was like 10 at the time so I don't remember, but I do recall from a pulp show or pulpcast, I believe, that he was teammates with Bradshaw on MHR one year racing a 125.

Next race up is Budds Creek 1999. Click HERE for all the pics! I have a few more races to go including the USGP from 1999 at Budds Creek, High Point 2000, 1-2 more SX's from Pontiac, Unadilla 2001 and maybe one or two more.

I also have some from the Kawasaki Race of Champions from 95 and a few other years, but they are so unorganized that I think I'll just scan them in as a group from all the years I was there. I may have a pic or 2 from some little red headed kid on the 167 KX80. Whistling I know Ryan Hughes, Damon Huffman, Kevin Windham and Tim Ferry all made appearances there at one time or another

Here's a few from Budds Mudder in '99

It's been a while since I updated this thread, but I got the chance to scan in another race. With the RV2 news, I felt it was only fitting to scan in my pics from the 1999 USGP from Budds Creek. Click HERE to see all the pics.













Not sure who this is but he's on a KTM 520 4 stroke?

After another hiatus for a few months, I scanned some more. This time around is Pontiac SX 2001. I also found two more sets of pictures from the USGP at Budds Creek so I added them to the page. Pontiac SX pics here







I sooo wish this came out better Evil Angry Sad

Thank you very much Rusky! I have started following you on instagram too, as you and Blazier post the best pics out there! The years you have posted from is to me some of the best years in terms if bikes, gear and racing. It is strange to see how much more modern it looks than what is on the market these days. Absolutely love the picture of Pit Beirer from the USGP! IMO the only person to beat Tortelli in style.

Ruskymx Thank you for posting this. Everyday I wake up in the morning and look at this website while drinking my coffee. When I saw I was in one of your pictures I couldn't believe it ( 510 on Honda in front of Reynard). What are the chances I thought. I had to show my wife and tell her " There's your Jimmy!" Thanks again for making my day!

Good stuff! I'll keep an eye out to see if you are in any other pictures that I have from over the years. I was at a lot of nationals in the mid-to late 90's.

@ Sunhouse - The 90's were a great time to be a fan of moto! Looking back, I wish I would kept my stuff more organized because there are some shots that I had blown up to 8x10's, 11x14's and some to 24x36 posters and I cannot find the original prints or the negatives. I remember the one shot I had of RC from Budds Creek flat as a pancake and staring right into my lens. I had it blown up to a 24x36 and traded it to him for a jersey. I have a #70 Pro Circuit Splitfire of his that will be proudly displayed in my "moto man cave" when I get around to "re-finishing" my basement (had some water damage so I had to tear some things apart). I've always wondered if he still has it, so if you read this RC, I'd love to see it again and see if it's as cool as I remember.

Scanned some more pictures in today. Now these shots are not mine. They were sent to me by a guy from Michigan that went by Homeboy on the old MX forums in the late 90's. I cannot remember what his real name was, but if any of you know who I'm referring to, let me know. He sent me shots from Glen Helen, Red Bud and Kenworthy's in Troy. I have two more races to scan in of my own pictures. High Point 2000 and Unadilla 2001

Here are some samples and all 45 that I scanned are on my site, HERE
