Paul, you would notice that, good eye. I got a good story about me and Lightbrown knocking the back window smooth out of that very El Camino.
It would be interesring to see the finishing list in both 250 and open Jr. and read all the old names. Thanks again Bill for all your time lookin all that old stuff up.
That looks like his El Camino in the background.........maybe a Montesa in the back. Is CZ # 25 your CZ?
Arne? Zat you in the lead ? Looks like you're on a CZ......#7?
Well, I'll be danged........there he is...the man. God rest his soul. That's how I like to remember him. I can still hear his laugh and see his big smile.
Hey Joe !!! Quit looking at this pix and check your messages.I also have Jackie's Entry coming too & trying to run him down too.
This is what made that job so bad. Always havin to shoo away all these young girls off the race bikes. Then I had to go wipe them down again, the tanks were always wet at the back right by the seat. What's up with all that? That's what made my job...
Hey Eric, that's a cool picture from last year..................

Mark Moore said… - Hey Joe- I've checked out the dvd and there is some really cool old footage. So far I think I've seen Tim Hart at Green Valley with the baloons, looked like Ed on a Husky in a blue jean jacket, myself, and you as well. Is that Billy#12 or #13 on the Bul? I know thats Billy doing the wheeley on the El Bandito at Green Valley. Man there is some real good footage of you at the Golden Eagles track, or it looks like it. I'll have to watch it several more times! Thanks again Joe for the dvd, and they sure had some nice old scooters at LOP, you really got some excellent pictures! Keep posting!

Rick Salazar said… - Hey Joe,
So you had a not so great introduction to the infamous Saddleback hardpack clay!! Saddleback and Carlsbad were hard as concrete in the summer, and the worst sticky mud you can imagine in the winter. The 2.75 Barum might have been ok for some loomy euro tracks, but were totally inadequate for SoCal. If you went down at speed it wasn't uncommon to see sparks coming off your footpegs as your bike went sliding by.
My first real race bike was a 73 CZ 250 red coffin tanker that I bought by mowing lawns.
Here's a Rex Staten story... In 73 Saddleback installed a forward falling starting gate. On the first weekend that the gate was installed and put into service I was in the 250 intermediate class, and my race staged after Rex's 250/500 ex/pro class so I saw this story happpen first hand. For his first moto Rex started a couple of feet back from the gate like everybody else. For the second moto we were all amazed when at the last minute Rex pushed his bike back and started about 30-40 feet behind everybody else. Rex got moving as soon as the starter got close to the gate drop handle. Rex hit the gate in probably 3rd gear and holeshot his class by at least 25 yards. The next weekend Saddleback instituted the Rex rule as everybody called it, and you had to start with both wheels on the newly poured concrete starting pad. Soon after Saddleback installed a backwards falling gate. Rick

- Well I'll be, that is to cool- The bike really looks pristine in those pics- how would you like to have one right now in that kind of shape?

- Hey Joe - I'm glad you posted those pics and it is such a shame you lost everything in the fire. I don't think you flooded the site, some of the people seem to go a little over board, and it seems like there is not enough time for people to really digest what they are seeing, I think yours was just right. I hope you still got a few more pics to post hiding away somewhere because you really a perspective on this sport that not many have experienced, the way you have. I'm going to try and make it to the Ant Hill, maybe your hip will feel well enough to kick Tim off the ride, and you can hop on this thing and smoke em. Thanks also for your kind comments as well Joe, your a true friend bro and love you back. Hope to see you at the Ant Hill.

- Hi Joe,
I'm from Orange County, Cal. I never raced dist 37. I only lived 20 minutes from Saddleback in the 60's, and 70's. I raced Saddleback, Carlsbad, Escape Country, and most of the other local So-Cal tracks all the time. I used to ditch school with my girlfriend to practice at Saddleback. Now, I have to take care of my knee's, to avoid knee replacement, so I don't get on the track too often, but I still trail ride out in the desert.

Have you ever worked with superchargers? What issues will I be up against on motors from the 90-300 cc range?

Tommy Montgomery said… - Hello Joe!
Thanks for the welcome. Lots of good folks in TVRC!
I rode at North Concho every chance I could get in the early 70's. Then they started spiking some of the trails and putting cables across 'em. I found one cable the hard way near dusk one day. Twenty some-odd years later I return to San Angelo and can only ride bicycles and horses out there now. Only can ride gas vehicles at Twin Buttes .........

rick blackwell

Check out Randall, that's how come I did'nt recognize him at Montalba, untill I had talked to him for a good half hour!
I can hear poor those rear suspenders crying under that load!
There's that levee that you and Joe Busby wre talking about at Montalba.

Tripes leading the U.S. 250 GP @ Unadilla. this is 79' (notice the "FIM" side number plates). Jimmy Ellis won, either 78' or 79' ( I think 78'), on a Honda. Marty Smith is #23. #16 is either Kavinov ("Knock-em-off") or Moiseev. #5 is Hans Maisch.
Yeah Buddie that was the hot ticket in the hot summer!
