I love that he still has the throttle pegged. "I can still save it!!"

Yeah looks like a 76 rm125. Hard to tell which rider it is , but the track looks like Diamondback or Jacksonville? Nice tank slapper.

That pic is sweet.
I like the old truck in the background. That and the boots and helmet show how far we have come in 30 years but the passion is still the same. We all can relate to that photo. We have all been there.

The biggest change since then is that that mobile home in the background wan not pulled there for the weekend.

All the thoughts that are going through your head at that point:

"Not again"

"I'm going to loose all those places"

"Wonder if anybody's right behind me"

"Damn, not the face"

I took this picture of 181 at Flying Wheels MX in AL around 1977~78. Sorry can't remember the exact year. I thought I was taking a picture of Joe Tomlin?. Long shot if it's the same guy
