"Young professionals like the Mees' are what is
needed to bring flat track back in to prominence."
Virtual Museum
Awesome shots of the AHRMA
Vintage Nationals ("Vintage
MX Rocks Texas" issue 48,
December 1). It was like getting
a free trip to an MX museum. I
remember what a few of those
bikes felt like.
Good job as always with the
photography Mark Kariya!

Who Was The First?
I have always thought I had won
the first amateur race at Road
America on a motorcycle in
September of 1980 (Archives,
issue 48, December 1). It was
the WERA 3-Hour and I rode a
GS1100 with a co-rider.
So there were races the year
before that? I had never heard
of them.

Throwback Thursdays
What a great time [1980 Day-
tona Yamaha Legends auto-
graph signing]. I remember
walking by and wondering what
the line was for. Then I looked
and thought, "crap, I know who
those guys are!" I talked to Bob
"Hurricane" Hannah. I knew
he lived in Idaho, found out he
only lived two miles from me.
Strange way to meet your neigh-
bor 2000 miles from home.
Jerry Walker
Promoter Mees
Happy about this [Jared Mees
promoting the Lima Half Mile].
Young professionals like the
Mees' are what is needed to
bring flat track back in to promi-
nence.
Jack Hixson
Could it be a first if the pro-
moter won the race he or she
promoted? Can't wait to see it
happen.
Jody Emert
Wait, what? Someone is going
to promote a half mile? But if
they do that, somebody might
come and watch...no, the
races should remain secret.

Tom Sykes: Impressive
In Jerez WSBK Testing
Wow. Sure, qualfying tires,
times, but impressive, nonethe-
less.
Great to see Nicky Hayden
getting on well with what must
be considered the "slow" bike
in this crowd. He just may sur-
prise some folks.
No surprise that the Yamaha
is going to be competitive from
the get-go.
