How did the guy next to you not take out everyone to his right with that out of control wheelie?

This is one of those great threads that I forget about until someone brings it back to the top of the page.

Good question, but he did come back over to rub elbows. All that did was put more fuel to my '83 CR250's fire! Woohoo

87 CR250 days-one of the BEST Motocross bikes I've ever owned. I don't ever remember having to do ANY MODS to it at all. It REALLY was READY TO RACE off the showroom! Smile

Top pic is 1984 Saddleback, Ricky Ryan #24 and some other guy who must be getting lapped because he is a 3 digit rider so he must be a back marker... Or he might have lucked into a podium that day. (:

Bottom pic is Chappy Blose at the Lakewood CO National 1984 (Chris Blose's uncle).
I’m sure he is getting lapped

First ride...image-20231202074432-2

Getting ready to put it all back together.   This was due to hitting the front of an oncoming truck on a fire road which bent the forks, wheel and caused some motor damage.     Pro Circuit pipe ready to go in. Cool   That's my IROC-Z in the background.

100cc. Back when they only had four classes at amateur nationals. 100's, 125A, 250A, and Open. Wonder how the promoter made any $$$ and what you would do with all the extra time left in the day. LOL.

I think the moto's were pretty long though 30 mins I recall.

BB67, These are from RedBud. Looks like you are in the one start pic. Also included the results. Just a guess but did you end up 13th? Can't seem to find anything from Loretta's 82. Cheers
