Back in late '72 I had just suffered a get off at the San Jose Mile...limped my sore ass back to the truck when I passed Dick Mann...he was seated and trying to figure out how to put a boot over a very swollen left foot. I stood there for a moment awed...Dick Mann for crying out loud...!! He looked up and said to me, "shit assed way to make a livin', ay kid!?"

Very cool. I raced motocross for 22 years. I always wanted to try flat track but just never got around to it. We used to always go watch the OKC half-mile, always a good time. I watched the mile at Claremore the two times they had that too. It was awesome. Too bad the spectator turnout was so poor...

You must have been on " On Any Sunday" cool movie, still makes me want to go ride every time I see it...

Spanky15 · 01-28-2013, 06:13 PM

Nah ...but I was at some of the races in the movie. I was at the Sacramento mile when Jim Rice got off and busted his beak. I was a Ford Foundation brat ...the educators traveling circus. The perk was... we got to see some great racing!

Never did any flat tracking but it looks like a lot of fun. Has to be a big adrenalin rush, going that fast. All the competition I ever did is enduros. It's a lot of fun too but you can get hurt doing that too. Voice of experience here. I go down to Gruber quite a bit, you'll have to come down there some time. I know you were at the horse charity ride, because I saw your KLR, don't think I met you though. I was on a KLR the same color as yours.

Spanky15 · 01-29-2013, 07:03 PM

Yeah...I was moseying over to visit with you about the time the family showed up and never got back around. We have the twin '08's!
Flattrack was what I wanted to do... Dad and I did not see eye to eye on that one! That was what made it so remarkable when he showed up with that brand new '70 Suzuki TS-90...! WOW!
