I think it is the first and only one of its kind anywhere. Of aU places the plaqued monument will be located in the Sturgis, SD area, the home of the annual race week each year in August. Years ago the Sturgis half mile oval was the home of one of the ational races each season. They later decided to go with a non-National each year and the crowds still kept coming. The individual behind the drive to erect something to remember past racers is former longtime Yamaha dealer, j.C. "Pappy" Hoe!. He sparked the Sturgis Classic event for years and then for the past several years, he has taken his idea into reality for a memorial for past professional racers. It aU comes to paa on August 6 at Sturgis where there wiU be a gathering of many of the old timers, so to speak. In some ways it is rather disappointing that this fine old gentleman had to do most of it on his own and the first had to be off the beaten path for most of today's industry and National cir· cuit riders. About 10 years ago it was the plan of the AMA to have something along the same lines back at Wcstcrville head· quancrs. It really never got off the ground and today tbcrc are only a few old road racing machines to show for it and some of Mel Murphy's fine paint· ings. -CO Q') 32. T. SIwp'T. Dunne lOponl 33.

There is curiosity from coast to coast about riders who no longer compete. In many ways the cycle racing fraternity is small and closely knit, so to speak, but once a rider has retired from racing his name is often lost in time. It really is a young man's game of late. Every other major spon had some type of hall, plaque, monument, etc., to acknowledge past performance - except motorcycling. With the Sturgis effort we now have the ftnt and perha ps the sta rt of more. It took Englishman Steve Wright to come to these shores and put together the first real book on American racing. It is titled, The Amen'can Racer and covers from the beginning up to the end of the '405. His next venture will take us through the '50s and to the present. No matter where we go there is always somebody who knows a fonner racer, a dealer who used to sponsor racers, promoters that were into it in the past, etc. Great stories and photos abound in boxes, drawers and attics in just about anyplace you care to think about. It is sad to say, but I came across what I consider a priceless framed photo taken back in the 19!15-!l6 era that was in a pile of junk that a guy was selling at a swap meet. I wouldn't sell it for any amount, but I would loan it to a museum, or have a copy made and sent to one. How many others are there who fecI the same way? It will take some type of committee to get it going, or to add to the Sturgis eHon. If we don't, then hundreds of valuable items will be lost and dozens of names that did contribute in some way or another will fade away. By the way, the Pappy Hoel dIon was much of his doing, money-wise. Pappy would never ask but at last repon he was over $10,000 in the red. He earned every cent he ever had and has paid his dues to the spon of motorcycling in a way that will benefit us all. How about dropping a note to j.C. Hoel at P.O. Box 297, Sturgis, SD 57785 and send along even a single dollar with a note to let him know that his efforts are appreciated. Pappy Hoel gels my vote this year for the upcomin~ "Dud Perkins Award." This is the kind of thing the award was meant to be for from tbe beginning. Roxy Rockwood Spy photos: Looka • • Honde has some good things working for the '82 CR.....
