This thread brings back many memories. I remember racing at tracks all over Georgia back in the day. The very first race I ever entered was on a Honda XL 250 stripped to nothing. Then we started running Elsinores and Suzuki TM' s then on to RM' s. I remember a race at Burn't Hickory where Bob "Hurricane" Hannah and Marty Smith battled back & forth for 45 minutes with Hannah taking the win. One of the highlights of my MX days was spending a week at Suzuki School of Motocross in Carlsbad California in 1974 riding with Danny LaPorte and Mark Blackwell. Good times!
