Came across these old Pictures for the 1974 Barstow to Vegas. My father (the Promoter) on the far left. in the photo., is A.C. Bakken center, and Mitch Mayes. Both credited with the win (at the time) they came across the finish line holding hands. Art Knapp, finished third. The start photo...Yeah, we had a few entries. The B&W is...

So I made a phone call, and there are some things that need to be ironed out, but I think Scott Champion, is handled. To all those that support his efforts, you guys are true, and core, motocross people. It's people that are core, that make this sport so awesome. To the negative, and nay sayers...You don't matter !

So working, and playing, at GH, I broke two ribs... Then, loading my work quad in to my truck, I shattered the rear window. Today some pimple farming kid, backed into my truck, totaling the drivers side. If I was a believer, I would believe I was in hell. I guess it could be worse...I could have caught the clap...

It was announced today that we have lost Rich Caselli to a silent battle with cancer. Most of us know Rich as the father of arguably America's best off road racer (Kurt Caselli) and as a true supporter of our sport. Rich always supported the American off-road dream and it was evident by the legacy he has left. No matter...

From RacerX We've been hearing and reading rumors online about another Ben Townley injury, so we decided to go straight to the source and find out what's going on with the sidelined Honda Red Bull Racing factory rider who is set to join the AMA Motocross class when the 2008 AMA Toyota Motocross Championships start up in three weeks. BT101...

I posted this on the Ronny Jackson, news thread, but here it is again. I have been working at Glen Helen, since Wednesday Morning. I'm home to go to a funeral. To think I did something fishy, is pretty fucked up ! What I did is offer up my time, to help a promising rider. I feel Ronny got into...

This year we had the 2 Stroke invitational...we've had legends. What would be the response of an Adaptive MX class, at the MX national @ Glen Helen ? Maybe, at the Vet. Nationals... Is this something you would like to see, or be a part of ? Ridge ? I made the suggestion today. I like the idea, however, the...

So at Supercross, you have a 30 yard dash of Sumo dressed individuals... At Glen Helen, we will have a 2-Stroke invitational Moto... In your face SX !

I had the privilege this Saturday, past, to watch the #800 star circulate Glen Helen, which would be considered his home track. He was on fire. Now in defense, there was really nobody on the national track to compare him with, yet when you've been around MX as long as I have you can spot speed. To quote MXA: Saturday...

Yeah, I know this is old school, but I want it out there for all to see, and get involved. Okay...Mitch Mayes, has motivated me to attempt a reunion of the famous "Barstow to Vegas" Hare & Hound, Desert race. So if anyone here was involved, entered, or knows of anybody involved, or anyone that entered the event (any year)...

What are your thoughts ?

This is me, from 1982...I used to race a Kawasaki 250, back, to back, with a Husqvarna, 430. I am wearing my Kawi gear, while on the Husky. I think these photos are from an racing club, called Professional Racing Organization, (PRO) at Riverside raceway. This club paid out cash for GP racing. This is also, the "Real" club that...

He will be missed.

Just picked up the Service Honda, "Junior R"...this thing is a morphed beast ! I will do some photo progress to share. I just have to learn how to use a camera. Details to follow. AJ is the man !

I'll start by saying this was one of my worst performances as a racer. I guess my head wasn't in it...I didn't like the course, and my bike was to slow...Boo - fucking - hoooo !!! We still have to race. I know it makes me the jam I am. Besides, a shitty race is better than no race, right...
