IT'S OFFICIAL ....., This website has the best vintage motocross photos ever!!!!
HELLO EVERYONE. Welcome to the TVRC "social network" website. There's bound to be some folks on here you already know, some folks you knew way back when, and some folks you haven't yet met, so please take time to visit members' individual pages. Check out all the great photos that have been posted. Some of which, you may recognize from the pages of publications back in the day. Most of them, however, are simply candid shots that evoke the greatness of it all. Don't try to take it all in at once. Like your Mama used to say...., "You'll get sick if you eat too fast!" Also, be sure to check out the official Texas Vintage Racing Club website at:
www.TVRC.org
for race news, results, club rules (gotta have em'!), race class structure, and other good information.
Speaking of TVRC, membership dues are just $40.00 per year, or "Two Twentys", as Mike Shelby puts it! That entitles you to a free dinner at the Annual TVRC Banquet, entry to various other TVRC social functions , a chance for free items such as tires, jackets, race clothing, motorcycle lubricants, and plenty of other cool schwag which is awarded to members throughout the year.
Unofficial benefits include making some new buddies (you know you could use em'!), historically accurate and un-distorted discussion of racing and all things vintage-moto related, as well as complimentary tail-gate cuisine after most races. MOST IMPORTANTLY, your dues paying membership helps to insure that Texas Vintage Racing Club continues to lead all others as the longest running, continually active vintage motocross club in America. Pretty cool, eh?
To join the club, just buzz over to the other site (www.TVRC.org), and click on the "TVRC Member Application Link" which is located in the left-hand margin. In the meantime, we enjoy your company on this site and encourage you to spread the word to any and all who know and appreciate the greatness of vintage motocross!
Remember - "If You Don't Know Newkirk, You Don't Know Jack !!!"

Phil Oliver, held back in the Int. class for work reasons. Frank Johnson & TC Carter we alway fun & helpfull. Hance was always good but didn't mind sacraficing a placing for some entertainment value. # 1 for years has to be Lynn Nickerson, I don't...

an awl is too fat. you have to use a pick. BITD I would use a t-handle to push down and then reach in with the pick and just dig it out, piece of cake. Always did it by myself.
Got a question about that broken widget on your "Gazanga 125"? Ask the experts on this site. They'll tell you which hammer to use!
Mark, Joey rode a few cross countries in 98 with very good results, but college came along and now he's married with twin girls and has no time. We still trail ride occasionally, we still have 2 XR200s and I still have my 78 KL250 dinosauer (but I...

Bill, if you strapped your boots on, got on the start line, charged off into the first turn and battled with your buddies to try to come to the front, your name deserves to be on the list. Thanks Bill.
Me !!!!
Craig, you never cease to amaze me. I knew I could count on you for tha 'straight skinny'. Thanks..............
here's a great reference site for MX "champions"

JJ, this is 76'. Weinert was Open Class champ in 74 so had #1 on the Yamaha in 75'. then won again in 75', but switched back yo Kawa for 76'. I think Howerton won Open Class National championship in 76'. all of that would make this pic from the 76...
Jimmy is sportin no.1, so is this 75? Looks like Kaw had gone to the leading axle forks on Jimmys 450, and the fiberglass tank too.
Dang Craig, you're like a freakin motocross encyclopedia !! How on earth do you remember all that stuff ? I remember all the names, but to try to identify who is who from some old fotos...............dude, you constantly amaze me !!!!! ( I actuall...
Through the years, everybody has always known who the fastest guys were. Their names were household words among the families that raced motorcycles. Everybody knew who they were. They received their hard earned praise from all their peers anywhere...
That 1980 Carlsbad USGP was awesome! Moate's second moto holeshot was wild as all get out - inside and super fast. In the early eighties those big bore YZ's were hard to beat.
Just noticed Cole showing off his broken tib/fib. I think he did that one three times.
This to me is one of those classic vintage moments because you are close enough to be in the picture and feel the energy. A natural terrain track, good dirt, Marty Moates cranking it on, dragging a toe and hangin' it out. I always liked to keep up...
Ask her Paul!! My kids are experts at pulling the retaining rings while I compress the springs on an old set of Curnutts that need reservicing almost every time I ride them.
How the #@%& do you get the fork cap off the 77 CR 125 ? It has a cap that will push down about 1/4 in to barely expose a spring clip that has no bend or resess to get an awl behind it. I can not hold down the cap with one hand and try to work und...
