5/4/2020 5:49pm I knew Bruce Meyers, through a friend Mark Logan. Small world... I had no idea Roger DeCoster, Dave Bickers, and Joel Robert had designed those tracks, I knew we were riding something special and it had that euro feel!! Only track worth riding as of late has been Glen Helen and they are changing that too much IMO, keep it...

This was a photo taken of me at Gorman on one of my 1977 Suzuki Rm 125s This jump was SICK, it was like the Olympic Ski jumpers, about a 100 yard hill-climb 6th gear tapped and there was literally no lip, you would just fly down the other side like 5 feet off the ground but travel well...

My buddies and I used to go camp out at El Mirage every now and then. Loved the bonfire wars...lighting pucker bushes on fire with race gas! Went to Gorman a few times with my Pops.

Someone around here probably has better memory than me about when Escape Country (known as Racing World when it closed) closed down. There was a kid on my street who's family was involved in the ownership of it (He was a Robinson, of Robinson Ranch). I had a chance to ride there after it had closed down. I remember having a great time with like 3 other buddies, and that was it. I want to say that was probably in 1980. Yeah, there were plenty of other places to go ride back then, that had great tracks. Top of the...

1/23/2020 3:42pm Lol, I know I went somewhere else, I am not sure if that is correct? Do you have data to show when Escape Country closed? I might have went to top of the world and rode Jeff Wards practice tracks....

1/21/2020 10:59pm Yes Kempy, I knew about it and was going to drive out there, but I didn't because I knew they were having problems with the Irvine Co. I took a wait and see approach but still hoped that they would pull it off. But I also know how heartless and cold the Irvine Co. is. I have first hand knowledge...
