The last Rockwall directly off of the interstate was perfect.It had a huge jump down the front straight and that is where i saw Chriss Hipp jump further than anyone.also i raced a Crosscountry versus Motocrossers race there one sunday.The only 250...
Yeah, Mike. That was the first one and I agree. It was cool. I have some good photos on slides from there. Priddy and some others.
I liked the Rockwall that had the spring feed gravel pit next to it...great place to swim and cool off after the races!!
there was actually 3 different tracks in Rockwall. Rockwall MX is the one that you remember Dee in 73-74. then sometime in 75 is when Squabble Creek came about. Not sure if it lasted much into 76. Then in 80 another opened right off the Interstate...
I think their may have been two Rockwall tracks. the one clled Squablle Creek was opened probably around 76 or so. I hear people taking about a Rockwall MX but that might have been before my time. I remember it fondly since it was where I raced fo...
I never knew that the Rockwall track was named Squabble Creek. Wow - what a person learns after 30+ years...
I liked the Rockwall track - especially after a rain - it was a blast to race on. dee
Squabble Creek was one of my favorite tracks. Great natural terrain and alot of variety. I also liked County Line. I lived in Garland so Rabbit Run was close but never really liked it. It was better after the Trans AMA. I remember a guy named Luck...

Will Kirk keep his Yamaha's ar make it an all Maico fleet now?
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...
Then come on over and bake for me!! I have the Stainless dental picks and am about to go Marathon Man on these caps. I have a T phillips that fits the caps little center recess but can not hold it down and dig the clip out. I can't seem to get ove...
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...
Just like in the 70's Disco era:
It takes two, baby, it takes twoooo....
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...
