Cool pics. Natural whoops are probably my fav. Rogers bike looks like it has sooo much rake, I'm surprised he didn't snap off more forks. Thanks man.

Thank you. Have lots more; just wanted to test and see how they'd turnout; hell having to take each out of the glued frames....



Still trying to figure out who's next to Shultz. Sideplate looks like Can-Am....looks like three dig number on helmet #6...dunno who's next to Shu. Not George Mc, is it?



The 250 Expert start was the day they had 2 divisions of all expert classes I believe.

Jodry, #701; Behind might be Dan Turner if he ran #39 jersey and next to him is Lesniewski #6.

See an Olympic Cycles Maico rider behind 'em...can't read name....could it be you Bobby?



#24 at the old McGill track is from 1974. An expert, but no clue to who. Think from another slide it's a KX, possibly a 250.



Plymouth shade tree pic is Lesniewski ahead of #2; whoever he is. 125 class. Nice whoops what wanted to really show.

The guy on the jump prior to the 250 class start....any guesses?

Gotta love that first pic... Just some ski jump, no track markers except maybe some rocks and the dudes hanging out on the (side of) track... MX was probably cooler back in the day!!!

That was May 1974. Yeah, not much in way of track markers then Crush. Sure was a blast rooting on your friends and them for you....

The guy on the jump in pic above the start is Don Cody. His brother Joe also raced 250 Expert then. Good guys the both.

The start, #6 is Tadpole Gumbmann, not Lesniewski. Durrr since got that b/w Tadpole pic #6 same yr...durr.

Thanks Larry G, Crush and plowboy for the comments. Thank you.

They really need to groom those tracks. I'm surprised that the riders didn't sue the promoter for making them sore on Monday.

Didn't the AMA know that the suspensions weren't as good back then?

It's an outrage, I tell ya.
