Hance, Where is the Montesa???
I think I met him once at L&R in Euless at a cross country race there one cold, icy, winter day. He was a real nice guy.
Wiley took tons of pics and sold them to Cycle News, Dirt Bike Magazine, MXA,...... everybody.
Was he the photoghapher for the Dallas Morning News?
notice that this is another excellent Wiley Williams photograph.
Jeff's stylin too
that's Arlie's Bultaco that Jiffy Pop's riding.
And I'm sure the guy that beat him in that heat was proud too. To this very day, he's probably still tellin people 'aw yeah,......... I usta beat Kring'

No, I don't know Rick McCarty. I've only lived in Springtown for about 2 years and don't really know anybody that lives around here.

Does having a factory ride knock me out the Team Cramp camp and if not how do I get my t-shirt?

- Thanks Hance,
I even brought home some wood on Sunday,probably could of done it on Saturday too if I had raced the novice class(just didn't feel right).I was definitely running in SLO-MO but at least it was forward motion.You sure were quiet this last weekend;are you in love or something?

Cam Potter said… - It was great seeing you too. In hindsight, I should have come out Saturday instead sweating over the RM all day. Next time I'll have all my ducks in a row.

- Mikie, No thanks are required. You know how much fun it is to reintroduce someone back into this gig. To see the grin as they pull the helmet off is priceless and you know right then that the hook was set. I too am sorry that we did not party more but the heat had everyone down early both nights. There is always next time, God willing!! Until then.......

jack thompson said… - yea jimmy he will give you a bottle of tequilla, plus the nitrogen bottle which is empty.Hance likes to sniff the stuff, he used to sniff the balloon filling bottles at the state fair of texas and they deported him to his place in bedias where he does less harm to the women and animals

Jim Whitten said… - Hey Buddy! How are you? Don't quite remember the ear deal but I do remember the Carlo Musso deal in St Pete. Funny stuff there. Love your pictures. I laughed very hard when I saw that picture of you on that old Yamaha. I see you still ride a lot and do some winning. Nothing more fun than those two wheelers. Take care Bro. Going to Mavs game. JIM

- Mikey, this whole weekend hanging out with you was a blast, as usual. I always enjoy the carnival that surrounds you. you and Dough were extremely generous paying the tab at Mexican Inn. you have no idea how well that hit the spot. PS - I can't figure out why Stella will not step within 3 feet of my Maico?

Paul Burnett said… - I took that picture in the spring of 90 at Dick Manns race in Livermore, Ca.Brad said that was almost the 1st time he had been back on a dirt bike since the one GP he rode the year he had the #1 plate.
I was doing business with Light Brown and John Long at the time and had everyone sign it and gave it to him on his 50th B-Day. Unfortunately I had to sue them to get paid and never talked to him again after John died. I did get to bang his secretary for another couple of years but never collected the money.
Most of the guys in the picture are obvious except one. How fast can Craig pull it up?

Chance,
Here is a picture that was in MXA of Trabuca National in 78, looked like I'd imagine Austia MX was like.
Gillman's !! yes sir , you are correct. There house backed up to Saddleback and you could see their little mini bike track in the backyard from the pits.
This part of the track didn't bother me as I felt I had it pinned but the middle had some dro...
I just posted a picture of Jerry Hawkins on his Bonneville bike yesterday. Jerry to me is one of the unsung heroes of motorcycle racing. I met Jerry in late 71 at a cross country race at Nolan River. He was on a 360 Husky. We formed a friendship t...

That was a neat track !! That picture made me sore looking at it
One has to have seen the Movie "Worlds Fastest Indian" to even start to appreciate Jerry Hawkins dedication, perserverance, determination and tenacity to build and ride his Bonneville bike. Built in the front room of Jerry's humble 2 bedroom frame...
Paulie, you're talkinhg about Mike and Scott Gillman.
Suicide hill was rarely used for regular CMC, or Saddleback Saturday races, they only used it for big money races and nationals, thats why it had grass on it.
Don Ince is the name behind Viking Motors, Don is a super nice guy. He befriended Edison Dye, and would regularly visit Edison at the rest home where he lived out his years. Don bought a warehouse full of ducuments and memorabilia from Edison.
There was a pretty famous picture of them rolling around on the track, duking it out.
