It finally happened... Moto Madness struck today at Saddleback Park. For weeks now Stu and Kelvin have been talking about the Mini Race for Pro Riders; It finally happened! When time came for the race to go, some of the Pros were still scampering around in the pits trying to con little kids out of their bikes. One guy who happens to be a wheeler dealer, Rick Atkins to name him, offered both of his R&D tuned rockets to anyone who would split their winnings with him. Rick really made out as he loaned the bikes to Brian Myerscough and David "Roo" Taylor, both of whom were winners and Rick wound up with $35 to play with. Read More...

Dave Haugh's dad stopped by to let me know about Kevin Kratz, a 250 Int. who had been out of racing for some time and Friday night was his first time back. He had a bad spill in his first Moto and was out of the race with a shoulder injury. Mr Haugh That was concerned about Kevin, who works for him at Safeway. he said to me that although he enjoyed reading about Dave and his races, he wanted people to know about Kevin and all the others like him, that put in an honest day's work, ride the best race they can and then take the bad breaks that, they're way. I, for one, am grateful to Mr. Haugh and others like him, for caring about someone besides their own kid. It's rare that I hear things like this and I'd appreciate any new as I can get about our riders. Read More...
