I was most likely there racing that day.

Funny to see how ONE motorhome sticks out in the crowd of just vans and pickups.

I'm probably parked in the area behind the concession stand, in my Dad's Oldsmobile Delta 88 with 3 rail trailer.

Norwalk Raceway I think 1985. This track was at what's now called Summit Motorsports Park (dragway). You can see the dragstrip lights and scoreboards at top of pic.

The Delta 88 with trailer in the background haha.

Dave Blaumann (on bike) with Denny Salamon at Smith Rd 1987

Malvern MX 1987 (probably 125C). I'm in the middle on Suzuki with the FAT #8.

I think I remember Dave Blaumann saying that's his girlfriend in the pink shorts haha. Maybe it was someone else that told me that.

I love seeing old moto pics. All before my time but so cool to see the evolution of it all. I spotted a Yamaha Banshee in the background somewhere.

So cool, Motor Sports Yamaha period correct everything! I remember watching Chuck circulate that track in 1972 with similar neckwear. YZ tank strap, cases and stock width bars?
