Sorry haven't been on guys but since eye-surgery, I can't hardly look at the bright-azz screen, much less read off it! :teeth
hey Dave, we know each other. (I was teaching when we met, raced formula mazdas). I know there are a handful of 70s racers here: me, you, curt (first buell) and portere, but i'm always looking for more. Made a lot of good friends back then that i've lost touch with. The days before knee pucks, run off, air fences and tire warmers, when racing was dangerous and sex was safe.
Hi Bob, haven't forgotten about you at all. You were the 1st guy to let me ride a Beemer! :thumbup We had some great rides back in the day...
Hope things are still going well for you. You still teaching? You must be nearing retirement? Still doing the open wheelers? Was a gas watch you run at Laguna! :teeth
Dave said: One of my strongest memories is watching David Emde & Daryl White banging cases/fairings entering Turn 2 every 750cc Superstreet race
;
The view from directly behind in 3rd was really something! Especially at the start of a race entering T2! The 2 of them always left 4 lines of rubber going into the turn (2 front tires & 2 back tires drifting!) :teeth
Wow...Daryl White...I'd love to see a photo of him racing if you ever find the time to scan those photos I'm sure Ron would like to see them, too
Pretty sure I got photos of both of them as they were direct competitors in my class. Took several; now to find them....
I have literally thousands of 75'-90'ish AFM/AMA pics. Most are negatives/slides, or 8x10 pics. Boxes & boxes. Most of course was just prior to & after my racing (when I was into Photography.) All taken w/a Canon AE1 & various lenses. Some were right @ trackside (within feet!) w/press passes even, even at the GP's at Laguna (worked at radio station so got press passes.)
I'll get to them as soon as I can; right now I cant due to recent nasty eye surgery. Soon I hope.....?
Anyone got a negative scanner? Sure would like to borrow one or get help scannign in some of these negatives as I can't see shineola right now...
