I did. I was told they don't keep records for more than "roughly 5 years or so...". This came from Mr. Henricksen himself. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Chris could you post the 80 expert class? I forgot who won the overall because of the tragedy. I remember a picture of Rick Hemme, Larry Brooks and Bruce Bunch with the cast on, stating how close they finished that year. I was there in 83.

Paul Dennis won in 82. Can't remember the rest of the 1-10 order, I'm remembering Storebeck in 2nd or 3rd. I remeber that Minicycle Magazine that had all the coverage of it that year, I was 9 when that issue came out and I read the words off it, a bit too long ago for my 36 year old brain to recall.

I do remember Paul's Pro-Trac trailer with some writing on it about being him being NMA #1 either Western Region and or Grand National #1. He usually ran #1 or #4. The Storebeck would have been Dale not Danny right?

Also, what about Mark Melton?

I'm interested in these results as well. I got two 5ths that year. One in the pee wee class and one in the 60cc 6-8 class. I think I only rode the stock classes that year, but I'm not 100% sure. If you could post the results that would be awesome.
Does anyone remember who the photographer was at Ponca? I'd love to get my hands on some of those old photos.

Gunsdad,
After reading a few of your posts, I'd be surprised if we don't know each other. Did you grow up racing in Oklahoma?

I'd have to say the night track ... I always enjoyed racing at night. I think our dads seen eye to eye on Greg Petree. My dad didn't like him either.
I sure hope MX101 comes up with these results ... Ponca 82 was a special race for me. I barely qualified for the national and then finished 5th in two classes. For some reason, this is where it all clicked for me. I went from finishing mid pack at the local races to winning on a regular basis.

Did you attend the NMA Fall Nationals at Lake Whitney in 1983? I would like to have results from that race too.

I wasn't at the fall race in 83, I was still recovering from my injuries from Loretta's that year. Damon Bradshaw and I tangled there, and both lost. Hank Moree came out smelling like a rose...............

The first time I was ever at Motorcycle Raceways was the Dr. Pepper race in '87. I remember a kx80 with "fast Eddy" or "fast Eddie" carved in the airbox.

Lance was good people, i used to go out to the unexplored sections of Saddleback with him and we would just carve a track out of a hillside, he's the one that got me to jump off the Matterhorn hillclimb mountain, he used to make it back up no problem, i had to get a real good running start to make it up, good times though good times!.
