Hey,
I've lost track of all but a few guys that I've managed to stay in touch with. I haven't really kept up. (Marriage, kids, work, etc) What happened to all of the old ascot motocross racers. Dale Lewis, (Sold me his Maico 450 Magnum - see my profile photo), Todd Petersen, Tim Lunde. And how about my fellow 125 Junior class buddies? Danny Matis, (I miss the free ice cream at Fosters Freeze) Paul Ellis, (Paul, remember when I passed you and asked you later if you were sick? You said no, I was just going faster than you - Paul was fast). Phil Lemmons, Mike Lentini, Steve Rawlinson, Mark Sager (Sorry about the time I used you for a jump Mark)
I heard Donnie Luce was a team manager at Yamaha now. Cool.
I remember Dickie McMillan cherry picking in our class. At the time he was as fast as the experts. And what about Bill Boyer? Bill and I used to fight over girls in high school. Hey Bill, remember "Mary Ann Clemens?" :-) Feel free to post any info you may have.
Thanks!

I just sold a bike to Bill yesterday, he's racing desert stuff these days, I'll tell him you said hey Chris.
I raced a few wed night summers out there, preferred outdoor tracks like Saddleback, Indian Dunes, Carlsbad, etc, but when the occasional mid-week boredom set in Ascot was cool.
I know Radical Ron Turner and John Desoto remember. Ron was jumping on the stationwagon at the time. Along with about 50 other people. John was there too. I believe it happened between races. The announcer said "There seems to be some kind of commotion in the pits". No one was watching the races, everyone was watching Vitali's stationwagon. I think she actually came with some friends and neighbors of Westergaard's. (250 pro) Not sure. IF YOU WERE THERE, THEN YOU REMEMBER.
OKOK, it was me. She attacked me, I was helpless. She forced herself on me what could I do? Wish I could remember her name, but she lived off Crenshaw just up the hill from PCH near Alta Loma Park?
If anyone remembers this or has info regarding this shameless spectacle, please let me know. ChrisMackay
The Shop
She has retired the Orange Bib Overalls, but admits to giving birth to octuplets, from that one glorious night. She said for a man with such a short fuse, you sure made a loud bang ! (whatever that means)
She seeks child support
It could be her but she had BLOND hair. :-)~
She changed her hair color to protect the innocent.

That's the girl that Bill Boyer and I used to fought over.
If any girls got too clingy Bill would tell them they're interfering with his racing, and he'd dump em! (Smooth)
Memories!
We used to see him a lot back in the day. He was a So Cal local.
and type in ChrisMackay. It will say no matches, but scroll down and it will say ChrisMackay photos, click on. If Ascot meant much to you you'll enjoy the pics.
Pit Row
I think. I'll scan a few pics and the event sticker from the race and put them on my Vital profile for anyone who's interested.
It was at the furthest north west end of the track, if I remember correctly, and first appeared in '75, or '76.
Straight up, sharp left... OH SHIT!
The first time I encountered it was on a Monday that some friends and I ditched school to ride.
One of my buddies cross-rutted the landing right in front of me, went down, and I ran him over.
My rear wheel landed on his bike so I pinned it to avoid going over the bars, and spun some gnarly knobby marks across his back in the process.
I went over the bars anyway...
I'm "it"!
