    RIP Bill Bader Sr.

    I read that the long time owner of Summit Drag Raceway passed away Sunday and announced after the National that happened at Norwalk. He was very well liked by many people. Turned the track from a defunct track to a National event holder. Back in the 70's they had a MX track next door. It was a...

    RIP Pat Avery

    I found my long time friend Pat dead in his home yesterday. He had some health issues but appears to passed in his sleep. He was a former rider racer back in the day. Still a huge fan of the sport. Went to many races to spectate including the last couple MXON, many Nationals, SX and loved...

    John Penton 50th Anniversary

    I was just at KTM in Amherst where they had the John Penton 50th anniversary. It was in 1968 they got their first bikes from Austria. John Penton was there. All 3 of his son's, plenty of old Penton motorcycles, a house full of old gray haired racers from the past. We got to tour KTM facilities...

    Heroin Epidemic

    Not sure if this subject has been discussed on here but I need to vent. My oldest and best friend is now a drug addict. Man we've ridden and raced together since 1975. I think it started about 3 years ago. He was married, house, job, hobbies, family support, pets etc. He has no excuse for what...

    MXON 2017

    Didn't see any one talking about the race this weekend. I think it has lost it's appeal to some. I still think it's exciting. Several injured and can't ride. Eli is too busy and won't ride. I think there at least 5 countries that have a pretty good shot. Netherlands with a red hot Herlings is...

    USGP

    Didn't see a thread on this subject so thought I'd get it started. I have been reading on RacerX all the past USGP's and found it pretty interesting. I was at Mid Ohio from 75 to 78 and thought it was so cool to see the Euro's and their cool factory bikes. I would like to go to this coming race...

    MXGP Spoiler Alert

    If you don't want to know don't read any further. Man Tony was on it and won both moto's. Jonas won both MX2 moto's. Both classes on KTM. First race doesn't always mean that's how it's going to be. But I like Tony C. and glad he had a good first race. A lot of fast guys and so many could win...

    Sauna at Home

    Just wondered if anybody on here does sauna's? I had the kids play house that I built, they out grew and it was just sitting there. I got the idea from my brother and turned it into a sauna. It started out as a 8x8 foot building. But I just finished putting an 8x8 addition on. The new room is...

    RIP #616

    A good friend passed away this past week and the wake was tonight. Tom Timchak 56, he went by number 616 and was full of life. They even had his Yamaha beside his casket which had nothing to do with his death. He was always smiling and had a positive attitude. Several said tonight they never saw...

    Paris Bombings Bercy SX

    How tragic an event last night. It makes no sense to me. I have been searching for info on tonight's Bercy SX and haven't found anything yet. I imagine it will be canceled. Several American riders are there and guess stuck until they open the borders. The situation makes me so angry and I hope...

    Mt. Morris a rising

    I plan on going to see the race. I wanted to see how Muddy Creek turned out before making up my mind. After Kroc having a good race I'll go. I'm a huge Dungey fan but I didn't want it to be a run away. I hear amateurs are racing Friday and Sunday. I have several friends racing Friday so I'll be...

    SX East Rutherford

    I watched the race at what I thought was a weird time of day to have a SX race. Really enjoyed it. Good racing. I thought Musquin rode really good in the main after crashing in the heat race. Bogel had to win and got a jump and pulled a small gap. Marvin caught him and couldn't make the pass...

    MXGP of Thailand

    Ok a big weekend of racing. Daytona and Thailand this Saturday. I am hoping RV can rebound and at least podium. That would be a building block and good for the team. Many have said that his bike setup was way off in Qatar so I hope they can work on that. It sure seems other riders other than...

    MXGP Starts This Weekend

    First race of a long series. Qatar, Thailand, then Argentina. Wow that's a lot of traveling to start with. Then it is back to Europe, Italy first. I saw RV is running #2 for the GP's. I think he has a great shot at winning the title. But I also think that Caroli, the traveling, new tracks...
