Brad cut PV from the program this year do to LOW TURNOUT last year. It seams as that
Vintage racers show up in greater numbers and the Vintage
OR PV racedays are taking a toll
on PV events with only 4 Northwest Regional Ahrma Events scheduled, with 1 more, To be
announced this year. The only PV bikes racing this weekend were the Vintage-Am racers.
Brad's friend, former Factory Maico mechanic Steve Stasiefski,who was Brad's mechanic at
Kawasaki and Suzuki from 79-82. and Brad, worked for weeks to prepare Grahm Noyce's
racebike to track condition. Mike Tillman and Mark Alcorn were the  the forces behind the
building of Zedenek Velky and Danny LaPorte's racebikes.

Dave Coupe' is a bike
collector of sorts and
sponsored Gary Jones
on this Honda Cr 450.
Gary hole shot Sunday's
race on it. Rodney
Smith won that race on
a flat Dunlop tire. We
were all in awe of
Rodney's Ability to go
that fast on a tire that
was completely flat.
Then someone says
"That tire is available
through Parts Unlimited"
Andrea Beach, Brad Lackey and Bonnie
Warch. Andrea was sponsored for the
weekend by Vintagemxracer.com on the Al

The Band was excellent, They Played a lot of
Brooks & Dunn, and did a good job doing it.
This year they
really did a good
Job with signup
and Tech. It went
fast and smooth,
even though there
were over 300
entries.
I finally got to meet "Hurricane Hannah". I shook his hand
as  I always do when meeting or greeting someone, it felt
awkward and offish, I told him of my plight, that when I
signed up for Vintage races people would ask if we were
related, I told him I would say "No". He did not laugh. Got
a picture and that was it. Later that day waiting in line for
dinner I bumped into some people who claimed to know
Bob for a long time, I told them of the experience, they
explained that Bob is a very Clean person that does not
like to shake hands and is very private, he meets a lot of
people and his fame makes it hard to be Private so it's a
challenge for him, but now I look at us side by side and
look at those chins and dimples, Hmmmmmmm ?
