"what if Tripes was on a rotary valve machine?"
DNF !!!!
Notice the spectators, i barely see him but theres a guy in the bushes sniffing lubritech clear paint, its Craig Knight, Craig prefers clear so he doesnt get caught.
That would be the exception, if Tripes had a rotary he could smoke Bob H
When he was on Tripes was bad bad fast !! He past me at a New Orleans national in practice and it still makes me sweat thining about it.
Well Mark besides you. You were smoother than Hannah not Tripes.
Poppycock!
You guys are too funny. Tripes had the best riding style but without a doubt Hannah was the best motocrosser EVER! Sorry Craig!
What if Hannah had been on one ???
Clay,It's a 75 YZ.I can fix you up and they are already white.
have to get white fenders and side panels, too!
what if Tripes was on a rotary valve machine?
On a good day Tripes i think could run with Hannah, if Hannah was having a bad day.
Tripes did have the coolest" feet on the pegs" style of anyone I have ever seen ride.
I hate to disappoint you but Tripes did train for one year. He trained all of "77" so that he could compete against Hannah in "78". What a "GREAT" year 78 was. Me and my dad raced for Big "D" Yamaha (Oak Cliff) in the early to mid seventies and I ...
"Pickard says his 77 Penton 250 was better than sex."
I believe Bobby and his Penton broke up by 78'!

- Chance, those Pentons were fast in the day and they handled well so they had it all in my opinion. I still associate myself with Penton-KTM but there were times that other opportunities would come around such as the Kawasaki's thruogh Terry's Kawasaki which was close by and Ray Spears was the mechanic. Kimbrell's Maico ride was also attractive because I always had a fresh bike and a Mechanic that took care of everything. Regarding the 125 Husky, that was tough, Super Sycle had close almost over night and I was left without anything to ride. Terry's Kawasaki had that Husky 125 left over and offered it to me with a KX 250 and KX125 rotory on the way. Ray Spears pounded every hp possible out of that husky and it still couldnt out run the Elsinore, but it did handle well, it really tought me to come into corners harder and momentum out which was great when carried over to 250 class. I remember Robbie well and also liked Bultacos. I still have my first Sherpa S 100, I was never offered a ride from Bultaco over all those years . Skipper was a good rider and was small which I think attributed to alot holeshots for him. Last but not least the first turn at Whitney; I remember now that I was involve with several high speed crashes off the start at Whitney and vowed to not get mixed up in the middle of all that again. At Mossier I would start on the absolute inside spot and at Whitney on the absolut outside spot, hold it on, flat track the outside line and slingshot toward the second turn. It kept me out of traffic and was pretty effective. Chance thanks for asking I enjoy re' living those days.

- Hi Chance, regarding going to Maico, I had a long love hate relationship with Penton-KTM, about every three years they would take me for granted and that called for a brand change. Johnny Kimbrell offered me a program that included two 250's and two open bikes a year from Maico and he took care of all the upkeep on the bikes. It worked out great, I was burned out on working on them and just wanted to pick them up Friday or Saturday and bring them back on Monday. I had just returned from a broken hip at Tx Stadium and people thought my winning days were over. Those next few years on Maico were some of my best, the 250 was a little down on horse power but made up for it in handleing and the 400 was great all around. Lee Barclay was the mechanic, I ran into him a few years ago, but havnt seen or heard from Johnny in many years, if you know where he is please let me know.

Joe Joiner said… - I don't know if I've met you or not, but welcome to this site here that so many racers, has been racers, used to be racers, wore out racers and maybe even a few wanna be racers seem to enjoy. You'll read a lot of history, lots of facts, lots of opinions, and lots of exaggerations and embellishments too, especially when some of these old racers start talkin bout how fast they were. Endless BS about how fast their bikes were. You probably know the drill. But it's all in fun. So jump in, read a little, then share some of your stories and BS with everybody. Welcome...............

I just don't remember.......
Thanks Jack !!! It's an honor !!!!
Thanks Bill for answering the question. I consider you MKA's assistant
Very correct Joe. In addition the Japs are going to use it for a testbed for the new Hodakas. They will be imported in via the Brazos. Word is Booger Martin will be the importer.
Very delusional but then again why deal with reality.
In neutral !!!!
Dear Edward, it comes as a surprise to me you would ask this question. As such a solid and Valued longterm Tvrc member you already have the answer. Approach Colorado just as you would a Tvrc event. Use the long coined phrase Newkirk attached for o...
Dear mister Know it All, How will I take my highly ambitous and yet less ample skills as a fervant motocrosser and apply it to the same terra and yet less firma of the sky slopes of Colorado???? Next weekend myself and the twins will be on a two-d...
I don't remember being this small
I don't remember seeing that particular combination on the same jersey!
wow!
left lots of blood, sweat, and teeth out there

word is, they're putting a saki / sushi bar at the top of the hillclimb. also planning to construct a huge waterslide from the bar all the way to the Brazos !!!
There's been lots of fun, good racing, and great memories taken place at Whitney.
" Noguchi 100s had rotary valves Marty Smith "
demented ramblings from a clearly delusional mind !
Martin, will you soon be too big for your boots?
I was at a sushi bar and overheard some Japanese patrons talking. They were discussing of all things, Lake Whitney! As I edged closer, I noticed some logos on their shirts. These guys were speaking in half Japanese, half English and one third pig ...
