Next photos are from the official program from the 1972 Trans-AMA race at Honda Hills. Notable things about the 250 support race were that I think it was the first appearance of the Penton 250 given a strong ride by Jack Penton. Bill Wetzel of Wetzel's Suzuki was entered along with Gary Semics...

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...

#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...

In the early days of the sport 'track prep' was not a priority and was in most cases non existent. Many of the real early tracks were built by taking a chainsaw in the woods and cutting out a track then racing the natural terrain, yeah stumps and all. As the sport became more popular things like...

Does one of these guys look real familiar ?

Love it ! Got a bad weakness for drum brakes and air cooling. Really like the gear that was worn in the 70's to the 80's also.

For now Harley is safe because they have a good dealer network and returning customers even though their product line is getting very stale. Indian on the other hand has not established a solid customer base yet and their product seems too much like Harley's. IMHO Indian will go the way of...

There was another MX track which only ran a few times deep in the 'Heart of Hell'.... Cloverleaf Speedway in beautiful Cleveland Ohio. Track surface was terrible, had cider blocks sticking up out of it but it was a place to race. The track was out behind the stock car track next to Mt...

There was a track on Grafton road just west of Marks road in either Brunswick [Liverpool] or Columbia Station. Not sure of the name, it was short lived probably around 1970. George Singler may of had something to do with it Close to the intersection of Marks and Grafton there was a company...

Maybe we should set up some kind of 'go fund me' page so we can help him buy himself another one of those "NIGGA BIKES"

Few notes from the Honda Hills Trans-AMA races. Mike Hartwig was bad azz. Not sure if it was the 1973 or the 1972 race but Jack Penton rode the new Penton 250 in the support class. Some guy you might have heard of, Gary Semics rode the 250 support class as well.
