Bauer- Honestly, it has been a busy week. Those four images will be to you in San Berdoo next week for certain.
JeffreyD- Yes, I remember you and don't worry about not buying some of those pictures back in the day. All of my negatives are printing as good as before and more and more will be posted on the site. I will log your bike numbers down and will be looking for them. It's my pleasure to continually provide a service to you and other riders.
RufRedBaron- I see that we have a common interest in motocross photography, My weekly schedule in 1975 included five races. I challenged everything there was to challenge in this sport from newspaper and magazine work to advertising for three of the motor companies. Keep working on those vintage bikes and things will become better...remember you live in Prosper!
From left to right we have---Tony Gomez ('79 #1 CMC 125 Pro), Bruce McDougal (Honda and Yamaha factory rider), Dave Miller (Mr. DMC and Miller Mano), Shawn McConnell (Speedway Star), "Flying" Mike Brown, Tom Corley (Yeah, I look like The Godfather in black), Davy Carlson (70's Pro at Saddleback and OCIR), Todd Peterson (Mr. Team Swolen and top Ascot and OCIR Pro), Joe Rivello (NMA rider), Jim Gibson (Honda factory rider) to the outside.

Sorry I've been out of touch-- been traveling for the business, racing season is upon me. Any luck on the Tony D' contact sheet I gave you a few weeks ago? Let me know.
Thanks...
I have the August 7th, 1974 copy of So Cal Motocross if for some reason you need it. This is Volume #2, Issue 30.
Joemx- So you knew Tony Gomez. I'm trying to figure out who you are. Send me an email please.
Potts- Yes, I think that we could use that copy of the paper from 1974. It would be great to see you get back on a bike after such a bad high speed fall. I read your profile. How good it is to hear from you. Please email me.
Craze- Thanks for calling me from Sam Boyd Stadium. I could hear the bikes practicing in the background. It was good talking with Wally too. And yes, my eyes are ultra light sensitive. That comes from working in a darkroom for most of my life.

The 1974 Dodge van took me to five motocross races a week. I took this
in 1977 at a CMC Motocross event at Irwindale Raceway, the final year of
racing there.
Thanks for resurrecting this post from the archives.
Bruce McDougal and Morris Malone dicing at OCIR. I thought this was a great racing shot and used this for my envelopes and cards. Best of all, I'm still in touch with both of these guys.
jimmie- Glad you found this site and it's good to hear from you.
Craze- Yes, that van was really special and people still ask me about it. I drove it for 100,000 moto miles before it had a single problem.
Nuklear- Dave happens to be Craze and he went with me to USGP and Hangtown races. I read your profile and now know that you were a fellow motojournalist. Thanks for saying hello.
chipnice- Your dad was a great customer and certainly was a big help with me getting the new van. I do appreciate your recognition of my photography and all of the little moto rats will always be my friends.
Did you make those little picture viewers? If so I bought a few. What's ironic is my neighbor who was a motohead (with a similiar name), took photography in HS and got some decent pics. His name was Tom Cosley (from Eagle Rock)
I've been trying to locate him as I'm sure he has quite a HUGE stash of pics if he saved them. I think he took over his dad's buisness in Ventura.
He took this pic, if you have any with the #591 or 54 that would be cool. I raced Saddleback, Carlsbad and the Dunes from 77 through 78 before I quit to go to school.
Thanks,
Gary
CALVMX AT PERRIS RACEWAY- 70's bikes and racing is back!! I had an incredible time seeing many of my friends race there last Sunday. You should check it out...I'll be there whenever they host these vintage races.
G-man- The viewers were taken by Mini Vues with the big motorhome. I made larger prints and had the blue van. Yes, I know Tom Cosley! He is my friend also but I haven't seen him in such a long time. That is a great shot of you and I will be looking out for #591 from my file during '77-'78 at Saddleback and Indian Dunes.
abn166- Hello Andy! Glad to hear that you like the site and even found a shot that I took of you. Are you still going to the Costa Mesa Speedway? Todd Peterson, Dave Miller and I were there for the Harley night.
I do remember now the Mini Vues motohome and you're van. I had a brown chevy van just like it.
Thanks,
Gary Chaidez
#591 and #54
