Wow, great race! Did you hear the announcer say that the sidecars had just been out and had the track tore up? :yikes:
Thanks for posting!

That was some seriously cool stuff. Vintage 2T vs 4T. Oh how history repeats itself.

Wow Ricky! That was so cool! My dad used to race in Holland during the 60's along w/ 2 of my uncles. I've always seen pictures of them but never video of that time period. Soooo cool!

Hey Petra how you been?? Do you have any old race pics of your dad?? I love old black and white photos :cool: My boss at work is into the Vintage scene, today out at the track, a guy showed up w/a 68 Ricard ( i think thats how it is spelled) This bike was mint, had a BSA engine, right foot shift, left brakes :cool:

I've been pretty good! Mark is in Iraq doing his "time" (6 months to a year) there so it's pretty quiet. I'm coming to Hollister during spring break w/ the kids. I'll stay w/ my friend Kathy aka Rockyroads (remember her?) I've been riding quite a bit but mostly track riding since the trails are pretty far but I've been out to the desert a few times and that's pretty fun.
My cousin has some pics of my dad's racing days so I'll have to ask him for those. My neighbor is into vintage as well. I had no idea that there was such a following but it's HUGE!
Maybe we'll get to see you while we visit! We'll be out there the week before Easter.

That was awesome. What a finish!

That's my kind of race track - love natural terrain.
