I did the ACR Vintage race at Central Village last weekend on my 79 RM250
I ran the 50+ Drum Brake class.
Went 1-2 for second overall. Blew a crank seal on the second moto holeshot and crop dusted the area while trying keep the bike running the whole moto. Came from last and caught up to the leader but the ol' RM sputtered again but thankfully made the finish..P2.
I was also scheduled to run 250 GP at Central but after the my first moto I knew my bike was a ticking time bomb. I decided to stick with the 50+ and try to nurse it to the end.
The 125 GP class was combined with the 80's 125, I believe there were 30 guys on the line it was awesome! What was cool is that you are starting to see young kids racing 80's 125 bikes
ACR is such a bargain, for 30 bucks you get a 20 minute practice and two motos, no club to join and in the GP class you get an extra lap or two
I've got a friend that raced the ACR event at Central and said it was a blast. I wouldn't mind picking up a later 80's Kawi 250/500, Honda 250/500, or Yami 250/490.
The MX-Rewind event at Unadilla looks like fun.
father. That was when Mongoose was a top bmx bike not a Wally World special.
Friends and family went to the southwick national this weekend brought back a lot of memories. Someone sent me this link and I have been reading it all day. Decided to join in and chat about old school motocross. I'm not on any social media or anything. After a great start to my motocross career in NEMA I went to NESC and became expert in the 125cc class.
All the names mentioned brought back a ton of great memories. Keith Johnson, Chris Fisher and the list goes on and on and bunch of others I grew up racing with was the best time of my life. I will send some pics and try and stay connected. Not sure if Paul Buckley follows this link. He's an amazing guy and thanks to him I have a ton of great photos of my career that I shared with my kids.
Looking forward to the pics.
Anyone remember the names/locations of all the tracks we raced at during the NEMA days.

Another track questions, what is the name of the track in mass, one of the only ones with a left hand first turn with the spectator jump in the last straight? I was competing against one of the only guys riding a cr60 at the time. We were side by side when we hit the spectator jump. There was a big ass chunk missing in my path and it threw me ass over tea kettle. Broke the right footpeg off and knocked the wind out of me.
Its sad to see, Loudon is nothing but a nascar/roadracing track now. Did the penguin school but never bothered to get my license.
The back hill in Loudon was a killer for us guys on the small bikes.
Pit Row
Its great reading about the events you guys try to put together. I have such vivid memories about so many race days... Now we are all the old guys...
Keep up the posts!!!!!
