Somehow someone got a picture of me on that IT175 that I owned for about 2 weeks. Just long enough to ride it at AMA Vintage day's in a rainy muddy mess in the harescramble!!!!! I don't even have a pic of this bike!!!!!!
Zman, his buddy Eddie Kinney, and I had a blast riding the vintage trials event the one year at Vintage days because we borrowed trials bikes, had no practice, and figured it out as we went along, laughing all the way through the competition. We were terrible at it, but we had the best time ever, doing it!

#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 on is that Kawasaki was just entering the pro mx wars in the USA and Brad was signed to ride their prototype 450 but still used his CZ in 250 wars.
Looks like you guys missed the guy on the Husky wearing the coveralls. I'll give you a hint about him.... he's from Lisbon Ohio.

Old school vs New school :
Does anybody remember good ole fashion whoop sections that wouldn't swallow a bus?
I snapped these shots at a track in Great Falls Montana at their local track. Sweeeet! Perfect for poor riding old grumps like me.
Small double-double
Some of you will undoubtedly remember these: Jeremy's infamous Ten-Pack
I recall that after you exited the Ten Pack, made it through the right hand 90degree corner you went a ways and then entered into a real nice and manageable Whoop-de-doo section Jeremy had built in. The next time I returned to the track the whoop section was gone and I believe replaced with a single jump or something.
And then he later added these heading into the north-east bowl turn I believe.

Other random snaps:
COCR gravity cavity exit jump.
Older Vintage Days
5...4....3....2.....1..... " well they're at least cut-offs, and not ugly Jorts"
Another Randy Bell bike build : 1982 KDX 175"MX"
one of these days I'll make my 1976 RM125 look like this.
Legend in the making

Great seeing those pictures of George Singler, he is one of the greatest ambassadors and all around nice guys that motorcycle racing has ever and will ever have. I considered Smith Rd. my home track and one thing I always remembered is that George always met you with a smile.
Doubt many of you will remember that Smith Rd. started out as a TT Scramble track. The track was down in front where the pits are now. I remember George pulling a barrel of used motor oil dumping it on the track to keep the dust down.

Every time I see a Carabela it makes me think of another lesser known bike brand that a buddy of mine had when we were teenagers. I was digesting a steady diet of "Dirt Bike" and "Motocross Action" magazine articles and photos on all of the mainstream bikes being ridden, and then my buddy Pat shows up on one of these. His dad picked it up for him.

I spent a lot of my preciously hard earned lawn mowing cash for Fox stickers.
