what were the top money makers on that list? sandhill had to be up there

Saddleback Park, Carlsbad Raceway, Ascot Park, Sandhill Ranch, Madera Lakes, um Indian Dunes was good too, my dad was successful anywhere he went really, good following of riders, even now he's pulling good numbers from what most of the tracks have told me.

S

WOW, That is some list!

thanks sondy...i figured argyle park would have been up there too. campbell bros were good folks

I'm a new user to VitalMX, it's great to see so much of the old district 36 and, I assume, CMC. Just be patient with scanning your slides and negatives. I got an Epson 4870 pretty cheap on ebay, and it does a decent job with a little practice. take a look--

wow sweet photos ! What tracks were those ?

Sondra

Gday does anyone remember some Quick Red Headed Aussie back in 1985 named Leisk? Who won the fianl race at Indian Dunes when we came up with Eddie Lawson who cracked it with the officials in practice and packed up and went home?

Leisky also either won or was in the Top 3 on his practcie CR250 at the 85 golden state round at Lake Madera, couple of other notable Aussie MX stars were there Glen Bell and Vaughn Style.

Great Times

The Marysville E street and Riverfront section was updated in May. Sure neat stuff George. Check 'em out.

Thanks for sharing George. Great photos of the best era in MX! Looks like you did what we all dreamed of when we were kids (and even now!). Did you ever come east to Unadilla for the GP's or Trans Ams? I had my kids looking through my old programs and they couldn't find your name.

Back in those days it was the best. I recognized many riders from your photos who rode the support and big classes back then. I never got to ride there until '98 and '99 when they had some amateur races there. My result weren't great, but it was absolutely thrilling to be out there.

The first MX mag I ever bought was MXA's Trans AMA special in '76. I must have read and reread the stories and poured over the pics from those races. Sears Point always looked Unadilla like. Spectacular is the word used by those I know who were there.

Lee your stuff is awsome. It was great to see the early Carnegie Trans AMAs from the bottom track and relive the first pro MX races I ever saw.

Hey George, I lived in the San Jose area from 77 to 81. Rode behind you a lot. I even found a couple of start pictures in your album with me in them. I have a few I can send you from Fremont and Hangtown. My number was 405. Mike Lambert
