It was great to meet Larry, Martia, (and Buck)and all that stopped by to say hello. His 175cc kept calling to me to take it home. Due to the days events I needed and received help from a number of individuals and it was unbelievable how gracious the vintage racing family is.

Here Larry gets the "squeeze" at the start...

Thanks for posting the pics Dale.Hey Larry-what did you say to the # 28 honda guy at the start line that made him squeeze you out so bad and did you retaliate in the first turn?![}:)]
Looks like fun-hoping to get past the caution period with my knee graft/repair soon and hit the Tripes 100 class in So Cal.

Ric,
Seems like 125 Experts don't like a 100 in their midst.:D No retaliation as I did not need to beat them and had trouble staying with them anyway. There was a day; though, that I would have waited a lap to "set things right." Good thing age mellows a person. Keep up the therapy because there is a desert out there with Larry, Tom, and Ric written all over it.
Dale,
Thanks for the pics and it was great to meet you. Glad you did not get hurt bad. Keep plugging away at it you are doing great with that beautiful Nickel Plated English Sachs. If I can take that home you can take my 175 home.:D Oh well I can dream.

Larry,I'm gearing my therapy towards Best in the Desert series with you guys next year![8D]The modern bike tempted me a bit too much so i gave in for a short blast on the 450x yesterday and it felt Good.A couple more weeks and i think i'll be ready for at least some VMX,100 style and a bit of trailin' on the 450's.If you go to Vegas soon look me up for some riding.Later,

Dale,
Thanks for the pictures of Larry. He and I go back a long ways and both have roots in Texas Racing. I am Proud that he has been able to carry the Torch for so many years.
Ric,
Take it slow Borther.;)
