Races 1976 Cycle News East

Smith Road from social media, AKA Cycle News East circa 1976

All the bikes I raced from 1974 to my last were excellent choices. I could count on my hands the number of mechanical DNF's I had over that span. I will have to grade my favorite bike on what was or was not accomplished on it. My top choice was my 1974 Honda RC 125 Marty Smith replica I raced...

I am a big fan of B&W photographs. In fact I have a shot of a rock in Joshua Tree Natl Park at a somewhat different angle than the one Ansel Adams took. I had no idea that it was the same rock Ansel took a picture of we just stopped at this picnic area and walked around.

Yes George Swagulak took some great pictures BITD, he even got some in MXA Crash and Burn Magazines. I have them somewhere. Yeah the guy with the WSofR is my friends brother. I have the red/blue and yellow/black scott boots. I still have all my old gear on my wall in my shop, Ill get a pic later.

The next Mid-Ohio for me I was on a 1979 YZ 250 and was in second place in class when, I got stuck in wheel deep mud ( it rained all night ) my wheel couldn't turn from the mud, I had to get pulled out, went a few feet and with the rear wheel still full of mud fell over in disgust. Fortunately...

Man was I a dork, check the guy to my left looking at my trials tire. Down the line and in Blue/White was #7 was 100cc State Champ Paul Walker from Toledo and next to him was Kevin Piasecki also from Toledo, those guys hauled ass!!

OP depends on what you classify as "Old Days" BITD 1974 era we only had these classes: Mini 100 125 175~200 250 500 Ltwt ~Hvywt Pro That's it ! no: a, b, c super, vet, novice, big wheel, 30, 40 senior, etc etc etc. NO SANDBAGGERS either, plus we ran longer motos and never got our second...

Buckeye Raceway 1977 Hare Scramble. 1977 Suzuki RM 100. Kathy Daffron scored my class, she would let me know what place I was in every lap. Lucky for me she only needed one finger (no not that one) !

I wonder whom their mechanic is.

His whipped out Type II 250 was sitting next to a tree.
