As many times as needed lol

But at Hangtown he wasn’t past his prime? This discussion is not whether this is peak Tomac…..there’s a clear drop off from the beginning of the season

Eli has had a mid-season slump many times before. Nothing new.

I was never fast enough to really warrant moving up from novice, maybe top five in a series race was about as good as it got, and probably do a little worse at the North/South showdowns. Always loved jumping things though. I raced amateur day at Arco before they started taming the tracks for amateurs and forced myself to hit the big finish line double. That was my measure for convincing myself that I didn't suck, was to make sure to hit the jumps that I probably shouldn't have been doing. Rio Linda, so what was your go-to, Riverfront, Sac...

Oh man, I loved those years. I remember thumbing through magazines drooling over the '90 KX's. Perimeter frame was like NASA tech at the time lol. I've got lots of miles at Argyll too. Lived most of my life about 25min from there, so it was the go-to for a long time. The ol' Campbell brothers sure were some interesting crusty old cowboys. I guess it was a sheep ranch before something was deregulated and ruined their business. John Stark was mentioned back on page 8 and I never knew him, but I did end up with his 1990 KX250...

Super cool! Bit before my time. About the furthest back I can remember is seeing Tyson Vohland's 1989 KX125 at a shop in Woodland. I was also at the infamous Hangtown mudder in '91 as a teen, unfortunately not really aware enough at the time to truly appreciate it.

Super fun thread and cool to see a bunch of old names I'd forgotten about. Also add Mike Gorda and Sean(Shawn?) Parks and I think his son. David Gassin too, in case he wasn't mentioned.

Not cal is to California what ny city is to up state NY

Talk about plunging up some old shit! This the first time I noticed it. Sondra, Vohlands sis is Terina for the record. Tom Vohland passed away a while back. Tyson is still around but not doing much. Living at Tallons house in GB last I heard.

This thread has been great, a couple more names from the way back machine I didn't catch, Jim Turner, Danny Turner, not just Billy Grossi, but Bob, too, Bill Johnson, my buddy Rich Wilson. The Labor Day races at Argyll had a real north south battle feel to them for a couple years. It was a great time to grow up moto, especially in the coastal hills tracks in winter and spring. Didn't keep up with it much after the early 80's

I was a big fan boy of Billy's back then, I hope he stays safe.

Absolutely he could. One of the most naturally gifted guys in the last 30 years, plus he said he’s into it again, and he has his old boy from Showa doing his suspension. Easy.
