I need help ID'ing the riders in these 2 posters I have. I believe the Moto-X Fox rider is Pat Moroney and the Can-am rider is Kippy Pierce. Can anyone confirm?

I'm thinking the Fox rider might be Carlos Serrano?

It might be Carlos if he was racing a MAICO.

I believe your wright about Pat, not sure about the picture I think the last real Hangtown was 1978 and in 1979 they moved it to the Off-Road Park (Praire Valley??) closer to Sacramento

Wrench...I think your are right about it being Pat Maroney, but I think Carlos did ride for Moto-X Fox, as #48 (see photo). I also remembered this clipping from the AMHRA website a while back. I think he only rode with them for one year.

"Photo of #48 is Carlos Serrano -- gserrano11@yahoo.com -- Carlos is a former AMA MX pro who raced in the 70's and the 80's here, in Europe, and in other countries for Moto-X Fox, Maico and several other factories. He has just started racing mx again (in the vintage classes on a Maico) again after 15 years away while he was racing cars. He has a shop in Tucson, Arizona that does race car fabrication and dirt bike set-up, race preparation and suspension rebuilding. His phone number at Serrano Motorsports is (520) 294-9691."

Not real sure but I think that might be Jim Holly on the Can-Am he raced Can-Ams in 1980.

I didnt think Jim Holley got on the Scott boot bandwagon, I think he was an O'neal guy back then.

Craze, you may be right.
I agree not Holley as this shot was from 79. Maybe Paul Buckley will check in, I believe he shot this photo. It was also used on several Unadilla programs I have from this era.

The Honda is Larry Wosic and the Can-Am is Juan Benevidez

After looking at 1979 pics of Pierce and Eirstedt, the Can Am pic doesn't look like either one of them. Both wore different helmets and boots. Tony D rode a C-A and had national #37 in 79, but it's not him either. Here is a pic of Pierce from the 79 Florida Winter Series.

it figures my first post would be about Pat. yes #45 is Pat Moroney. Pat's dad Jim Moroney had a Harley dealership that sold Suzuki's, Husky's, Pentons, and is still in business going strong. The shop is 1 mile from Orange County Choppers in Orange County NY. but Moroneys was here first. http://www.jimmoroneyscycle.com/default.asp

1-800-FastHog National Dirt Track Race Team Tuners... Team Owner: Pat Moroney (right), Motor Builder: George Sudzarski (center) and Bike set-up specialist: Rich Hanson (left).
****The #42 of Bryan Smith Finishes 3rd in the 2007 AMA Ford Quality Checked Grand National Flat Track Twins Championship on his Moroney's Harley Davidson!***

Bryan Smith #42 is Sponsored by Moroney's Fast Hog/Tucker Rocky/Supertrapp/Motion Pro/ Saddleman/ Works Conn/ Monster Plates/ Greedy/ Shoei/Oakley/DS113/and KK Supply gives all our sponsors a big thanks for all there support!!


Former Formula USA National Dirt Track Champion and AMA Rookie of the Year Bryan Smith of Flint, Michigan, has signed a contract with 1-800-Fasthog.com racing of New York Harley-Davidson dealer Pat Moroney to contest the 2005 & 2006 AMA Flat Track Championship.

"I think it is the best deal that I have ever had," Smith said. "They've got the best bikes out there, and I'll have all the equipment I need to do it if I am going to do it. They have the number-one ride out there, and now I have the chance to be the number-one rider out there. I'm not saying I'm going to win the championship, but I want to win. It's all up to me."

In addition to Moroney's team sponsors, Smith will be bringing in financial backing from KK Motorcycle Supply and Content Control Systems, the latter company owned by Roy Plattel of Istlegal.com fame, which was the team Smith rode for when he got his Formula USA title.

All engines in the Fasthog.com arsenal will be built in-house by team engine builder George Sudziarski.

With a great finish in the twins class in 2007 we hope for an even better season in 2008!
