rsw511 Started a new thread TM vs TS400 Suzuki
1/27/2012 1:28pm Are there significant differences between these two bikes? Or is the TS mostly a detuned version of the TM? Are the frames, forks and such much different? Will engine parts etc interchange? I am about to buy a relatively nice TS for a song, and I'm planning either to convert it to either a deadly street tracker or else mount...

12/5/2009 8:04am Action Park was on Pecan Park Rd up by the Jacksonville airport, right? It was certainly open in '72 and probably in '71. It was a scary place, really fast and bumpy and right through the woods. One thing I remember about it is that they gave a winner's t-shirt along with the 1st place trophy - not that I...

12/4/2009 7:55am There was another limited production Sprint race bike called the ERS. It had full suspension (Ceriani forks) and was a full 350cc, painted orange and black. It was pretty powerful and uncontrollable on a motocross track. Even so, there was a guy from Jacksonville FL named Ron Turner ( I think) who actually used to motocross one of these things...

My racing buddies and I (hippies all) went to lots of concerts there and then camped out for the races the next day. Man, it was a rough place and that grey sand was deep. On a 100cc bike, you really had to...

4/27/2009 9:21am You are probably remembering "Gumbo Speedway" which was in Leesburg. The track was basically flat and went through some woods - and they ran at night. It was good tacky clay until it got wet, then it got so slick you couldn't even walk on it. I raced there on 100s a couple of times in 1970. It was an...

11/24/2007 9:35am This is my first post here - it's great to see this. The picture of Johnny Borders and Winn Peeple's brother - what memories! I was there. I raced against Johnny Borders many times between 1970 and '72 at the old tracks like the Orlando Sports Stadium, Ocala (the one near the town of Sparr), Action Park and probably at...
