Anybody here race NEMA in the 80's?

Awesome club to start out with, made some life long friends and consider myself lucky to have ridden the tracks on the circuit in their prime (in my opinion).. Jolly Roger before it got messed with, 338 with the original layout and the woods fully intact, Claverack and Walden when they were still on the schedule, Winchester, Hemonds and MX207 were all awesome as well.  

Great to revive this thread. It was started in 2009! NEMA was started in the late '70's. And yes, it was an awesome club to get started with. Unfortunately, it no longer exists. I'll never forget those days!

and had a traffic light!

Holy crap! Although this is ten years too late I remember this name like it was yesterday. I remember watching you racing the NESC around 86/87 and thinking "Damn, this kid is fast!" But then you disappeared. I always looked forward to the expert class back then and not many people could come out of the amateur class and go straight to the front of the experts, but you were there and then you were gone. What happened?

Been a long time.  I stopped racing right after high school. I went right into law enforcement. Been a cop since and a mass trooper last 25.  How u been.  Don’t run into too many people that remember way back when 

Richard, what number and class did you race in?

Started in the 80 cc my number was 030. Made it to expert class.  After couple years.  

I remember you, on a Honda right? I was #70 on a Yam/Kaw '81 to '84. Made expert too.

i RACED NEMA FROM 1979 thru 1988. It was a great place to grow up. #189

Was very cool growing up in the community.  I have a Harley now so I’m a lot slower lol. 

No I always rode Kawasaki 

Went to 125 class in 85-86. Finished number 1 in 86 then was off to college and working
