Title: Posting up some old school
Post by: trx#9 on July 25, 2008, 11:18:50 AM
The year was 1988 at Dade city raceway. I guess back then before I was trx#9 I was trx#7.  :D  Enjoy and post some of your old school pics.

That's me in the blue and pink, damn is was skinny then. The guy in the red was my friend that died in a atv crash in 1995, Randy Howard. His dad wearing the hat, Ray.

Thats me in 3rd, trying to stuff. I think this was the 88' gold cup.

Back in the day i was known for going through bumbers quite often. ;) Thats John Howard getting it.

Can anyone guess what track this is, not the one of tampa stadium. You have to be an old schooler to know. ;)
The one of tampa stadium had some of the biggest and hardest whoops I've ever ridden on.

Is that Zuber? Up by Hard Rock?

And is that Tim McQuaid(not sure 'bout
the name) on his Tecate you were chasing?

Nope not zuber, try again! Isn't Tim Mcquaid quad32x on here? I don't know if thats him or not, I know I flew past him later on the lap. ;D Maybe he will see this.

Post by: 310R_Dude on August 13, 2008, 06:35:22 PM
Only three odd tracks that I can think of...

Tallahassee - It doesn't look nice enough, that track back then was a DREAM.

Clewiston - I never rode there, but they said it was dirt/sandy.

Cocoa Beach(diamond Back)???  I only raced there once, YES that was enough,
but the pics don't remind me of what my memory recalls.

Is it one of those?

I can't believe I can't get this... it had to be early on, you were on the Zuk' :(

Heres one from Diamondback in Cocoa. Thats one rough track !

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b3/quad32x/000_0106.jpg)


This is what you saw if you raced Open 3 wheeler class and I was there.  2:L  This is at Dade City.

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b3/quad32x/000_0114.jpg)


This is the bike that Kawasaki set up for Jimmy White to race the National they used to have at the Lake George ice race somewhere up north. I bought it from him in 1985. It had the KX 250 motor  , custom aluminum tank and some other goodies that where not on the bikes till 86. I loved that bike ! Also at Dade City.

Dude, do you remember when Kenny Jones(Carey's little brother)
got hit by the 250cc dirt bike when he was spectating.

That happened at Croom Raceway!

If I didn't know, which I didn't, I just didn't want to keep throwing
track names out there until I got it ;)

Going to Waldo Saturday/Hard Rock Sunday.. wanna go?

I'll be on my "R" as my yamadawg is still brokedid'.
