Although He couldnt beat Wade Wilson or Mike Beier on the 100 ...lol And little Steve "Jump"Vlahos would smoke him on his 80.. Mostly because steve was half his size, honestly I'm surprised Jimmy didnt just eat him one day...all gone.


P.S Bobby what you think of the 76 hangtown program.. that shits moto porn for sure.. The first time the west was struck by a Hurricane..
that program is cool no doubt. i might have one laying around somewhere. in 76 i raced the open expert on a 370. 43 riders on the gate and i let billy my mechanic pick my poker chip. he pulls out 43! greeaat....from the 2nd row i got a top 10 start and moved into 4th place by the first lap, hit a hole went over the bars and my own scooter ran me over. damn IRC tire or whatever the fugg it was hurt like a sumbitch. GOOD TIMES...GOOD TIMES.

That might have been the same year that neal snarrs dad moto'd that motorhome through the mudhole heading out of that place....was afraid of getting that sucker stuck in the mud. remember that?Smile

I'd like to see the rider entries for the sportsman races and for the national too. Did they put a rider profile for Hannah in it ? I'm sure a lot of the guys on here would like to see this.

kbxfan@att.net if you want to e-mail it to me

Thanks.

Jerry Brown and Scott Rodgers lived close by me....Brown went over to trials riding and I thought I'd see Rodgers at the Lackey deal; they were tight when Magoo got hurt and think Lackey helped put on Dannys benefit race at PC...Remember DeCoster still hauling ass at least 45 yrs old...!

Al Hall and Roy Seiler use to be hecka fast in '74 on 125s.....Eddie Brown came up shortly after and hauled ass

Harold Schaffers dad Chuck use to be the local race Plymouth promoter....Harold rode Open Class later on it seems. His dad use to do the gate pick chip for AMA SX; he remembered me doing some CN race write ups and photos.

I always sucked at getting a good gate pick chip.

Thanks for the pics Bobby. First year of Hangtown at PC...

#6 looks like the Tadpole Gumbmann; #38 picking Yammie up looks like Duane Joyce..?

Inglebright's been dong NASCAR for quite some time now. First in the Southwest series and then he did the Craftsman truck series for a couple of years. He's currently running the Camping World West Series.

Richard Childress Racing hired him a few years ago to run in the Sav Mart 350 at Sears Point since he is a Sears Point "ringer".
