Let's add:
Chris Heisser
Scott Burnworth
Larry Ward
Guy Cooper
I'm sure there are more.
HORNETDRIVER
I agree on the Burner and Heisser, but only saw them race 125/250. Very fast though!
While visiting El Cajon my friend called up Glover and Burnworth and went cycling in the hills together, both very cool people and a great ride.
What years did Cooper ride mini's. I might have raced with him at Ponca in 83 running 125int?
Sam Storer was a great mini racer too.
'79 was my last year in mini's then I moved to the 125 classes. I raced AMA and NMA mini classes from '72-79 then went to the big bikes and pro flat-track.
The Shop
Then again I think they were on 125s/250s by 78.
Bobby Moore
Mike Healey
the top sr mini riders, from fla, would have been Joe Cartier, Mark Murphy, Jim Pinner and Kieth Olerich, i remember Joey had a super trick mini elsinore, and
Mark Murphy was sponsered by DG on minis,
The late Timmy Aston.
Tyson Vohland
George Holland
Terry Bostard
Kelly Andris
Shawn Wooten
Steve Lamson
Seems I remember that name in the 125s circa 79-80?
from the pits at Bradenton , Fla Mx,1978, box van with awenings and 3 RMs was Mark Murphy and his dad is standing there, the black closed trailer and white chevy van was Joe Cartiers pit and the wells cargo trai;ler in the back ground was our , pit
Yesterday i attended a current motorcross race at Rio Bravo, and recalled in my memories of the old days. The track is mostlley the same it was back in the 70's. Although the current sound of the new thumpers, and the lack of the 2 strokes seemed foreign to me.
