Yep...Newey is old school (learned from the masters John Barnard, Gordon Murray era…) and pencils out the rough design with a drawing board. Other manufactures us CFD with a lot of success also. Both work, just different ways to get to the end goals. Like any top technical director at that level, they have a big pool of resources to...

I found it hard to believe too… the cop was just being a dick TBH. Could I have fought it? Yes, but whats my time worth? It's more then $45 an hour. I figured if I was going to pay the fine, might as well make their lives a bit difficult. The ticket didn't go on my record and I...

Kinda how it went LOL… but I counted it out. My feeling was if I'm paying $45 for a bull sh*t ticket, I'm going to get $45 worth of pleasure by taking my time.

As an avid cyclist, I got a ticket once for failure to put both feet down at a stop sign / red light. When the officer pulled me over a block later I explained that I did come to a complete stop - and the officer did say I did come to a complete stop… but to make it a...

Adrian Newey is only part of their secret (with his bags of tricks). Everything is possible in F1 because it's a big engineering exercise... remember Newey help bring active suspension into the paddock when he was the technical director at Williams which changed the landscape of F1 along with the concept of flowing air under the front of the car...

Another viewpoint of Suicide Mountain. I agree with MXjef and Sondy, We did run it on a GSN, maybe 83? Going up was only 1/2 the battle, going down was just as bad. If I recall there was a tight right hander at the bottom. What goes up, must come down...

Were on the same page and thinking the same... thanks for sharing the video

Great home video from James Pate, who's brother Steve Pate #76 (Yamaha) was in the 84 Saddleback National. This shows the worlds greatest dyno (the start hill), bits of Webco Hill, the Magoo-Hannah double jump, Suicide Mountain, the finish line turn and Larry "Super-Mouth" Huffman doing what he does best. I was there that national weekend in 84 and raced...

Actually the 60+ class was race # 4 out 5. Frank combined a lot of classes because of the heat and got everybody out by 1:30PM.... yes JLaw went 1-1 and even gave an interview to Tom White over the PA. Looked like he was really enjoying himself today at the races.

My Great Uncle was in Patton's 3rd Army as a tank commander. Made the push across Europe, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, etc... Some of the stories he told me made you really proud to be an American and truly was the Greatest Generation. Godspeed Mr. Griffith...

That's a great story! Congrats...

Don't think Dan took that photo - Frank wanted to get everybody out early due to the 100+ temps so he did a hurry up schedule. Dan could not of taken that photo,.. he was on the 2nd gate with the Int riders, Pro's were 1st gate last week, 1st race of a 5 race schedule.

Had ENZO sub-tanks on my 2003 YZ 125 and I loved them. Ross and company are really switched on group of people and have worked with all different types of riders and skill levels. Personally I like their stuff and they are willing to work with you to make it right.

Dan has been a long time Honda person and will do just fine. He's an ex-Saddleback racer that wanted to be in the moto industry way back in the early 80's and got his start at Kawasaki Team Green spinning wrenches. Been at Honda forever and has been the factory engine development person for ages (from 2 stroke to 4...

It worked for me yesterday... read the whole MXA mag for free.

Johnny O' jumping Suicide Mountain on a 125 - 1984 National - 2nd moto. That was really steep going up and down. Only a few ever jump the terraces on Suicide Mountain. Banzai you learned to up shift in mid-air to the next higher gear. If you didn't you landed completely tapped out going into Webco. The start hill was...

Pulled this off the MXA website just now regarding Saddleback. Would today's riders even try jumping Suicide Mountain on a 450 in these conditions? O'Mara jumping Suicide Mountain on a 125. https://youtu.be/qgdRFqD1MEk
