It was time to start tearing in to the '74 MX100 that I plan to race in the mini class at Meatball's Hell On Wheels Rally this June. Hopefully I can have this thing back together and running by June 16th!!
Brought a few things back to the garage from the Long Beach cycle swap last sunday. My favorite is this old racer's trunk and the stories told through old stickers!
"Hey Tina, lets get some pictures of you striping out of my bmx gear!!" "Oh I don't know Bobby I'm feeling kinda fat today." "C'mon Tina, it'll be so bitchin'!! I'm guessing thats what the conversation was like before this gem of a photo was taken. Stolen from here...
Never got to race at Saddleback, it closed in 1984 due to financial troubles with insurance and land disputes. Located in the Santiago Canyon Hills of Irvine near Irvine Lake, Saddleback was started in 1968 and hosted many national "Trans-Am" races with legends like Danny "Magoo" Chandler, Bob "Hurricane" Hannah, Ken Howerton, Warren Reid, Jimmy Weinert, Jeff Ward, Rick Johnson, Ron Lechien, and Johnny "O'Show" O'mara. Those were the days...Pro Motocross behind the Orange Curtain. Photos: Vitalmx.com
This place is... old motocross, old flat bottom race boats, heavy logs, boobs from the 60's, ice cold beer and occasionally some kustom paint. Sometimes it's cool, most of the time it's a drag. Cheers!
