| 1969 Carlsbad Raceway I seem to be getting quicker with making these little videos. I must be learning something about the video software finally. I had a little more fun doing this one too. My apologies to Gen. Patton...or maybe he'd understand.Here's the oldest 8mm footage I've got, a typical weekend at Carlsbad with motocross going on at the motocross track and bike road racing right next to it on the road |
| Carlsbad Motorcycle Grand Prix 1970 I've posted another video made from my old Super 8mm film collection.

Which reminds me of that old story about the fundamental difference between men and women: a |

| Dire Straights Twenty-three years ago today, I had one of those life-changing?almost life-ending?moments that can sometimes divide your life into ?before? and ?after? stages.

So one day we all trooped out to Willow, a track I never liked much and liked even less before the day was out. The drill was |
