July 31, 1999 After practicing on a dry track I simply was not ready for the amount of grip at Costa Mesa last night. Coming out in 3rd div, I did a practice start and new immediately that I was in trouble. Axle not far back enough/wrong tire pressure etc. The tapes went up and I just sat there wondering what to do. I set off and got into 2nd, then coming out of turn 4 I crashed into the wall and went over the handlebars, all on lap 1. This was where Rubio crashed, lucky for me I was going a lot slower and managed to get up, wave to the crowd and walk away.

I came 2nd in the consolation with a pathetic display of timid riding. I just wanted to go home in one piece at this point. Lots of fun though on my first official ride in 22 years!

1st bike was a 125 BSA Bantam built by Mr. Bill Collins. I used to ride it with the Collins Clan on a field behind their house.

I joined the Lancashire Junior Riders Grasstrack Club in the early 70`s . The club produced many riders who went on to be professional. The Collins, Louis and Peter Carr, Ian and Paul Stead, Sean Wilmott and a British Grasstrack champ another neighbours Andy Riley. Another Club member rode in the states, Keith Rylance Jr. I saw him ride in 1982 at the Ventura Track the night that Kelly and Shawn Moran didn't show up.

Other bikes I`ve ridden in Junior Grasstrack include Hagon framed Bridgestone 90, Hagon framed Puch 125 and another Hagon with a 250 BSAC15. My 1st Speedway bike was a chromed Hagon (again) framed 1967 Jawa, 23yrs later I am the proud owner of a much more modern and spiffy 1969 Jawa. The reason that I got into the sport was because the Collins lived across the road and it seemed like everyone else in the surrounding neighborhood rode too, so, hey, join the club. I also helped with the Santa Maria Fairgrounds track doing a variety of jobs. I found out what an incredible amount of work goes into staging a race.
