Scott Rinde Added a reply to Fastest pre75 250 Engine
1/11/2021 5:21pm I too thought Can-Am Rotax but am late to the party...BUT having listened to an interview with Gary Jones I have the following helpful suggestion: Do some heavy work on it and make it dual induction by adding another inlet/carb at the rear of the cylinder. Gary said that the 250 they did this to was open class fast and...

6/21/2020 1:47pm I'm not SoCal, but I've picked up enough over time to know who and what - kinda tabloid but also kinda neat - hope it works out for them

5/20/2018 12:34pm While not strictly Puyallup & Washougal, or even Fox Hollow, or even at all let alone strictly, I gotta put it somewhere so it might as well be here since these are where some of these artifacts came from. A recent visit to an old friends garage allowed discovery of a shrine of sorts that some of us will find...

5/20/2018 12:03pm A recently acquired pic from Fox Hollow Summer of 1976. Larry Stopper leading 125 Intermediate out of the first turn in the period JADO jersey on a YZ125C with X air canisters and a downpipe - very nice pic!

3/29/2017 8:32am Nothing wrong with adding to a really old thread here is there? One of the things about vintage and getting old is that eventually you can have the same memories over and over again as if for the first time. Here's a pic from Fox Hollow near Woodburn Oregon, from a local or CMC race around 74-75, rider on the...

Scott Rinde Started a new thread Who was your biggest influence?
1/27/2012 7:39pm DUH! It was Roger DeCoster. Mine too. Well, except for this other guy... Have you seen this: http://www.akejonsson.com/ When I rode, I didn't conciously try to ape DeCoster's style. But it was a plain fact that my conception of how to ride was imprinted by all the pictures I saw of him. If I was doing it right, that's what...

1/27/2012 3:57pm There's two things I can't do that you should know about. One - I can no longer kick start really big motors. Two - I can't figure out how to send you a message. Look for whom you are seeking in Keizer Oregon using Dexknows white pages. It may be him. Good luck. Ok, that's probably only one thing, and...

Scott Rinde Started a new thread One of the things I miss most about race Sundays in the 70's...
1/26/2012 2:54pm Did you have a local rock station in the mid to late 70's that for Sunday morning programming ran things like Alan Watts talking about Buddhism, and/or Gabriel Wisdom's "Joyful Wisdom Hour" that was about something both harder and easier to identify - It was always entertaining and often hilarious. He often had Timothy Leary as a guest. I used...

1/15/2012 8:56pm That's also a storyline from the legend of Burgett. I remember Chris Washburn - Suzuki's. Good rider.
Scott Rinde Added a reply to Your favorite track
10/23/2011 6:51pm I raced at Washougal, Woodland, Mountain View, MAC, PIR, Spanaway, Thurston, and Saddleback between 75 and 81. And Fox Hollow - which I loved most of all. It was fast and baked hard and I don't know why but I always found bite in it's high gear sweepers. And I loved it's fast low-lofting jumps. I remember one moto there...
Scott Rinde Added a reply to What MX has done for me?
4/13/2011 2:08pm What's MX done for me? Hmmm...it, or rather what I became from doing it, is a part of almost everything I do now. To have gone from zero skill on that first ride to one of the fastest guys at the track on my last, that was Everything. Unlike being a valued player on a good high school football team...
Scott Rinde Added a reply to Pacific Northwest Mini Experts 1980-90
11/14/2010 3:47pm I remember Stacy Thornton...but only as a 125 Pro in 1980-81...he's got a point about the mini-experts just prior to the start of the 80's. I'm sure I remember Jimmy Anderson on mini's, and do I remember Jeff Cropper on a very very very tricked out XR75? Like with laydown forks for rear shocks? A bunch of the late 70's...

10/29/2010 11:17pm I too appreciate the pics and stuff, though most of it is before my time, which was 75-81. The first race I ever saw was at PIR and I remember hearing lots of "Rick Burgett and Chuck Sun" over the PA - it sounded like they were gods. Years later I lead Burgett for a few laps one night when...
Scott Rinde Added a reply to looking for Mark Gregson
4/17/2016 6:52pm You're welcome - hope it helps. Just for the record, "you and Mark were at Kawi City" isn't correct. I was a struggling junior on a year old Yamaha when Gregson was running Green. I'm as much a nobody to him now as I was then. I moved up to pro in 79 after he was gone, and by 81...
Scott Rinde Added a reply to looking for Mark Gregson
11/9/2009 6:45pm He's somewhere around Salem Oregon. I saw him at the Thursday night races at PIR a few years ago when they were celebrating 35 or 40 years of racing. Gregson was there, and Eric Hall, and Burgett, and Mark Hambleton. And Troy Falk. Jansen was probably racing, maybe Anderson too - but I don't remember seeing them. He had a...
