Here are some shots of the 100 class and 125 novice from Barber.

Ammended:
Brian on Ernie's 250.

125 Novice line.

Tom planning his strategy after breaking the rear brake stay bolt and
brake rod.

125 Novice line.

Honda, nothing more needs to be said.

125 Novice heat 2, weeeeee up goes my front wheel. Guess I was a little over zealous with the throttle.

And off we go.

Looked flat from up above!

Tom with no rear brakes.

Brian,
Sorry, photo ammended.

No problem Dale. One of my friends, Marc Hodge, thought I was on my 100 too. After practice Marc came up too me and said:

"Man! I can not believe how fast your 100 is, it carried the front wheel all the way down that straight!".

I laughed and told him it was Ernie's 250.

Brian,
You may have been closer to the correct competition for the "100" Honda[

Hate to ask, but was the honda 100 on the loose again or was it beat?[?] LG

The Honda 100 pulled four clean holeshots and four moto wins.

Tom, I was hoping we could dice it up a little since I have already cleaned the 1st place points riders clock badly three times. Although we tied in points they have you ranked second. Looks like they give weight to the fact you had one more race. The brake problem is understood but you didn't need to use Pat as a berm[}:)]
