    #6 is Californian Bob Grossi. Pretty sure he was the 250cc National champ. #79 is Mike Hartwig out of Michigan, he was bad azz on his factory Husky then later factory Yamaha. The guy on the CZ wearing the Kawasaki jersey is future World Champ Brad Lackey. The reason Brad has a Kawasaki jersey...

    In the early days of the sport 'track prep' was not a priority and was in most cases non existent. Many of the real early tracks were built by taking a chainsaw in the woods and cutting out a track then racing the natural terrain, yeah stumps and all.

    Love it ! Got a bad weakness for drum brakes and air cooling. Really like the gear that was worn in the 70's to the 80's also.

    What’s Harley Davidson doing?

    For now Harley is safe because they have a good dealer network and returning customers even though their product line is getting very stale. Indian on the other hand has not established a solid customer base yet and their product seems too much like Harley's. IMHO Indian will go the way of...

    Tracks of Yester-Year

    There was another MX track which only ran a few times deep in the 'Heart of Hell'.... Cloverleaf Speedway in beautiful Cleveland Ohio. Track surface was terrible, had cider blocks sticking up out of it but it was a place to race. The track was out behind the stock car track next to Mt...

    Homage to Honda Hills

    Few notes from the Honda Hills Trans-AMA races. Mike Hartwig was bad azz. Not sure if it was the 1973 or the 1972 race but Jack Penton rode the new Penton 250 in the support class. Some guy you might have heard of, Gary Semics rode the 250 support class as well.

    VMD Roll Call

    The bikes, the people, the weather all a 10 ! AMA-Mid-Ohio a big FAT ZERO ! For all the money that event generates they couldn't have one portacan or garbage can in the camping area south of the swap meet which was full of campers all weekend long. The few facilities that were about a 1/4 mile...
