If no one gets it in a couple of days, I'll drop other hints. Nice scrub huh?

the original BUBBA SCRUB - the new kids need to see that to know their roots.

SWEET PHOTO!!!

Damn, I thought it would last at least a few hours!
Jo Jo had the scrub down huh?

HrcRacing · Post by **HrcRacing** » January 31st, 2010, 5:49 pm

Jo-Jo was the man for sure.

Here's another. One of the fastest desert racers I've ever seen.
Truly talented. Name him.

Danny Graves?

Tharrell · Post by **Tharrell** » March 13th, 2010, 2:54 pm

No, he is deceased though. Team Green obviously. And he is on Destry web forum site.

Very sad. Killed a few miles into the Baja 1000. It's talked about in "Dust to Glory". Kawasaki pulled out and only returned to the race this year.

He would have been the RC of desert racing no doubt.....didn't some dumb beaner off duty cop pull out on the course and kill him?

Yeah, I imagine the way the guy rode, he was standing up with the throttle pinned when the guy pulled out.
Kawasaki dominated the desert until that.
He was one of a very few who could unquestionably use every bit of power a 500 had.
There are athletes in life that I just love to watch because of the poetry in motion that they are.
He was one of them.

Here's another one, name him.
This photo is called "Last Flag"

Tharrell · Post by **Tharrell** » March 16th, 2010, 8:36 am

And another one.
This is the same Bultaco rider chasing WHO?

JBaze · Post by **JBaze** » March 16th, 2010, 8:38 am

Its Jim Pomeroy isnt it?

JBaze · Post by **JBaze** » March 16th, 2010, 8:39 am

John Desoto? In the second photo

Tharrell · Post by **Tharrell** » March 16th, 2010, 8:41 am

Jim Pomeroy was right but that's not John.
They're racing what they were famous for.
Check out the swingarm on the YZ.
You could say he was the "first" YZ rider ever.

JBaze · Post by **JBaze** » March 16th, 2010, 8:46 am

Hannah?

Tharrell · Post by **Tharrell** » March 16th, 2010, 8:52 am

Hannah was picking his nose on minibikes at the time.
His brother raced also and his father was the "father" of the YZ.

Tharrell · Post by **Tharrell** » March 16th, 2010, 9:02 am

Everyone should know this guy.

Tharrell · Post by **Tharrell** » March 16th, 2010, 9:03 am

Here's another one. Who is it?

Jim Pomeroy - and not just because his name is in the filename of the jpeg file! I assume this is "Last Flag" because it was his last vintage race before his accident. He was a regular at vintage races here in SoCal and further afield. Awesome guy who is sorely missed.
