The story behind Pickards photo 0003 takes place in St. Louis, MO. Team Wasted ended up there on one of our cross country junkets racing. It took place at an horse race oval and there was a huge purse at stake. It rained all night into the next day, the word was out that it would be cancelled so everyone was in the vans getting a little loose you might say. Then they announced that they would run anyway, so everyone piled out and geared up. There was litterly 3 in. of water standing on the track, with man made jumps right in front of the covered stands,,that were packed to the gills. The flag dropped and it looked like ski boats going down the straight with Crowley in the lead followed by Pickard, Tony Wynn and hot shoes from all over. After a couple of laps our boys had it made, that is until Crowley blew by heading for the jumps in front of the stands. He swings to the outside of the jump, pops a wheelie covering the entire stands with soup muddy water, Pickard running right behind him follows suit knowing they would be disqualified. The crowd went completely nuts and the next lap there was a hail of hot dogs, cokes, shoes, you name it, flying out of the stands at Crowley and Pickard. I couldn't believe they blew the purse over a stunt like that but me, DeVaughn and the rest of Team Wasted couldn't have been more proud of them!

Onetime we were having a race at Mosier and late in the day some guys(god knows what they were doing down by the river)came running up wanting ropes and tie downs. They said they had a 8ft alligator cornered in the brush near the river. We followed them down and sure enough there he was. They managed to get tie downs around his neck but when he decided to vacate the area he headed through the brairs and thorns with all these guys hanging on the ties. They couldn't hold him on land because he was too strong but when he hit the river he started a "death roll" and actually tied himself up. The guys looked like they had been in a knife fight and lost. We called the game and fish dept. who transported him to the theme park next to six flags where he stayed untill it closed. He now resides in San Diego zoo!

A lot of people asked me about DeVaughn's dogs, MulePuke, Scrotum. and his Sharpe' named Foreskin. Well the story was rumored to have happened something like this. One day a couple of guys were working on the track when they could hear dogs barking off in the distance. They went to investigate and found a pound down the road with a lot of dogs being held for execution. They returned with a back hoe as the rumor was told and leveled the whole place. They returned to the track with all the prisoners in hot persuit. It was ever dog for himself and as legend has it there was a bunch of wild dogs that lived in the bottoms of the Trinity River and are still there to this day. Of coarse this is all hear say!

Dale and DeVaughn took WFO's Team Wasted to Houston's Rio Bravo to answer a challenge by the south Texas riders who got their butts handed to them at Mosier. We went on down to Galveston to blow off a little tension before the race the next day. The beaches were really crowded and one of the guys decided to unload a pit bike to tool around on as did everyone. You guessed it, someone cockblocked someone else and before you could say WFO a race had developed. We set up a quick coarse and the usual rules immediately went into effect, you know, biting, kicking, throwing beer cans, and without saying, the usual Roy Rogers dismount onto anyone with a faster bike. Then it happened, Crowley unloads his Persang, everyone else follows suit and the deal was on! There was quite a crowd, thinking it was some kind of organized event. Suddenly here come the cops pushing through the crowd. Dale heads them off to explain what was going on. It was a bunch of boys from a state school for the mentally handicapped and didn't know they were doing anything wrong. Sammy Speight walked up about then so they were pretty convinced after seeing him, then he offered one of them a toke(off a cigarette) well to make a long story not so long, nobody went to jail, the crowd was getting pretty rowdy and that took a lot of the heat off. The next day we went to jRio Bravo and kicked ass, taking all the pro purse with WFO on all the jerseys and cleaning out their trophys in the other classes. They still remember!

Doc Riddle, Lenard Doss and Dale Edgeworth were sitting in Dale's jeep at Azle raceway drinking beer and watching the races one sun when they spot Patience Buchanon go into a porta potty near them. Dale pulled the jeep up to the outhouse with the bumper against the door and began pushing the crapper around the area. It was pretty obvious from the screams and and solid stream of vulgarities that could be heard above the sloshing in the crapper that Patience was slightly upset. I've never seen three guys laughing so hard they crying. They backed up and made their getaway still in histerics. When Patience came out all covered in blue water(or whatever) pissed isn't even close to describing her state of mind and thank god no one would loan her a pistol!

Back in the day Dale and DeVaughn never ever let anyone practice during the week at Mosier, so one day they drove into the track to work on it and to their dismay there sat a car at the track! They looked at each other, went over and got into a big front end loader and proceded to crush the invasive vehicle into a pile of rubble, push it over to the train tracks and set it on fire. They hung out for a long time waiting for the owner to show. After a long while George and Bill Simpson show up, look around, then ask where was the car? Dale and DeVaughn cringed thinking it belonged to Bill or George untill Bill informed them they had given them money to find them a car to drive around the track as a work vehicle! The car belonged toDale and DeVaughn!!

Just got back from Albuquerque, spent a weekend visiting Dale Edgeworth. Picked me up at the airport and immediately headed to the desert to take a ride with D R Romero, local hot shoe back in the day. Dust, sand, cactus, snakes, everything you'd expect from a desert. Followed up by Tecate, tequila, etc. Next morning rode 4-wheelers, learned respect from my elders as I was 4th out of 4 all day. Dale ain't dead yet !!! Dale Edgeworth at 65 was at the front of the pack! Again, that evening, Tecate, tequila, etc. Dale said anybody that forgot what WFO meant, come visit, door wide open ! 500 square miles to ride ! Went through a box of Dale's old photos. Will be posting for the next few weeks.

"MULEPUKE" is the answer I was looking for.

The beer drinking dog was named "scrotum"....couldn't hold his liquor though. He would just stagger around and finally fall down and grin.

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.

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.

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...
