I raced there a handful of times in the late 70"s and early 80's and the best I could do was mid-pack finishes....I was a CRC guy (Saddleback and Indian Dunes) and was running up/near the front most of the time with them (250/Open Int.), but I would get smoked by "locals" every time at DeAnza....I'd feel like I was riding pretty good only to have some guy go flying by me in a line I didn't recognize was there....I recall it being a "hilly" track with good dirt and a cool start--kinda' like Saddleback's, only shorter and steeper right out of the gate....
I raced 1978 (int)-79 (exp) #62e Pat Taylor, I rode a Honda Elsinore CR250 with Fox air shocks and simons front forks.

I lost all of my photos that my Pop's (Ernie Taylor) snapped and we also bought photos from the trackside photographer Ron.
You don't happen to have any photo's of DeAnza in that time frame have you?

First place I ever raced! 1974 was actually a High School race. Riversides North High versus Palm Springs.

We also use to sneak in thru a tunnel under the freeway from an area called the badlands.

I believe it was 1975 ish, Got the holeshot as a 125 intermediate and proceeded to knock myself silly after uphill into the 1st turn. Don't remember but my buddies said I asked them 1000 times" what happened "as we drove home 3 wide in an old Mazda mini truck. Quite a few races there. Anyone remeber a guy named Mike Kell?
