Croom in the late '80's

Matthes eluded to this a couple of weeks ago, the elite pro's practicing at Croom in the late '80's. Does anyone have any pictures of those days?

That would be cool to see. I have seen Travis there many times over the years. RJ used to come ride some crappy sand track here in my town late 80s while visiting family in sw Florida.

Ronnie Tichenor would go out there all the time, his dad was the first person I had that really helped me with suspension.

Saw pics of Tim Farr there training in a quad magazine when I was a kid. He was an ATV national champion in the mid 90s, the guy who dethroned Gary Denton in 1995.

I was there in 1989 and have a few pictures buried somewhere... All year I have been I grabbing boxes of pictures from my parents house and working on scanning them, but I haven't unearthed those particular ones yet.
I will certainly post them on this thread when I finally come across them.

Its funny that someone else mentioned Ronnie Tichenor, I was only ever there one day in my life and Ronnie Tichenor was there that day.
I had gone to Florida for the winter as a 19-year old thinking of it as a stepping stone for an illustrious pro career.
Sadly, after hearing a bike screaming behind me, pass me (actually the word "pass" should be substituted with the word "sand-blast"), and disappear instantly from sight beyond the miles of whooped-out sand- I realized maybe a pro career wasn't waiting for me!!

Spent plenty of time there with many but I don't think I have any pictures but I will ask mom because she was a camera addict back then.
Swink, Emig, Stephenson, Buehl, Neumac, Hannah, DeHoop, Kitsch and Ferry are the few I remember.
