Some great times and epic stories. Then there was also some great racing.

Second in 125C was Aaron Yates. He went on to race and win in AMA Superbike and World Superbike where he definitely was not a C class rider anymore!

He wasnt in C long and I believe the only reson was that he used to crash a lot. At speed, he was always fast.

Ha I see my name to the left of 250 Pro (Taylor TN). This is from the next to last race of the series I think because the last race was at Cocoa Beach and it rained all night before. I ended up 3rd OA in the series as there was only 6 point spread from 3rd to 6th and I did well at Cocoa.

Rained , it was more like a mini hurricane at Cocoa that night or day our awning got ripped off the motor home before we could get it down.

awesome! there are several Louisiana riders that grew up to be pretty fast and quit. One that use to race in the class with Windham popped up at a track just a couple weeks ago.

what ever happened with the Beckington brothers?
