Bearmore Here is a couple pics on my 78 rm100 at the Gun Club track that your Dad was part of. Rode there up into 82 then it was shut down

Say thoses pics on page one where takin Fall 79 I'm on my new 1980 rm 125, Months before turning Pro early 1980

My Dad was never a memeber of the Gun club track. It was the other one that I am referring to that I rode at. It must have closed down as well for some time because I know my Dad got it up and going again a couple years after I got into racing ('83). Then it was closed down again permanently after those squids rode out there while drinking and got hurt.

Cool pics Brad. I told Randy about this thread so maybe he will chime in!

I went up to Western in 77, I would come down to OH and ride my buddy Mike Bigger's YZ250 in 77/78 time frame...I believe this is at the gun club track....

1st turn action at the old base track...my first open race (#511)...this is right after the wheelie pic

The Orcas race...I remember going over there with Mike Bigger, my Elsie seized on the sandy hills...

Who can forget Monroe...circa 82/83

Hey me and Jerry Bawyn were good friends, his dad owned the Dodge dealership so we always a cool ride to go to the races in. We would go to B'ham and race the hour moto's on Thursday nite...Mike was always up there going fast...
