moto cross -



great fun if you're the one riding, but for watching - it just doesn't have the interest for me. so off i went, a bit of a picture taking challenge.

Brad Lackey holds a round of the AHRMA mx series out at Sand Hill Racing. a few of the former legends show up for some racing and what not.

1. Rigors of Tech Inspection



2. Graham Noyce. the guys next to me said he would ride until the skin fell off his hands. a committed guy no doubt.



3. Doug Grant. lookin' fast Doug - onya mate..



4. Autograph or keeping track of yer stuff... (this was Z. Velky's ride)



5. mmmmmmm factory rides......



6. Bill Silverthorn



7. nice of them to group up at least once for some corner action



8. Danny Laporte screwin' it on



9. Chuck Sun, today's winner, in front of Herbert Schmitz



10. Chuck off the lip of a downhill section, it looks so easy....



11. Zdenek Velky, post race afterglow


12. Not everybody was caught up in the fever of the event though



13. I think some were there just to be seen - but what do I know :dunno this is the first time I went to see mx.

I remember Graham Noyce, I had just left school when he won the world championship, I think it was on a 400 Maico. Good to see the old boys still at it.

A nice set of pictures

draggin, thanks for the response. Noyce was 500cc World Champ in '79.
he was riding a honda on this day.

now with 60 peeks and no other comments... either a) these shots do not fit in with the majority of sporting shots - school sports. or b) they are so uninteresting they are not worth commenting upon.

all the best,
yours on a cranky sunday. hopefully yours is a beaut.

yo these are great. I had toyed with the idea of attending this but being in NY it was going to be expensive. I did have a local contact who is a member of the Ramblers, the host club along with Brad Lackey, and he'd sent me his pics, but yours are GREAT!.

Love the shots of the faces, Noyce, Grant, Silverthorn. Great stuff!

The DGrin crowd tends to be on the quiet side so don't take the lack of responses as a negative.

Great shots, I'm off to your smugmug to see who else is in there.

I don't see them in your smugmug?
