Zarnock, do you have a sister, Sue? If so......................... My son, Vinny, was over for dinner tonight and we were talking about the people on the forum and he started to name names I had forgotten. Told you it would be my kids that would remember everyone from the past. They aren't old enough yet for those senior-half Polish moments they might inherited from their Mom.  Anyways, he remembers racing his dirt bike with your sis at Baker's hill. He said she was really good and a good kid. He said he's pretty sure she went on to the motor -cross circuit and did pretty well for herself.  He remembers you as a good kid also.

Tracman, he's one of the best. Cindy, his wife is also. She is like a daughter to me. She grew up with my kids. Lots of good times to remember and a lot of wacko times to with them all. Just luv them. They are family.

I have a cousin named Sue, but she never raced Moto-X. It was me that raced. There a few girls that hung around Baker's back in the day. That's where I meet my wife for the first time.
There were also a couple girls named Sue too.
Sue Paperra (spelling?)and Sue Storms whos brothers raced Expert Class.

Talked to Vinny just now and he said it was your sister who he was talking about. He might not have remembered her name correctly. Oops, maybe he did inherited his Mom's "moments." ;D Y'all hung out at Bakers.

Vinny said it was a Sue he use to race dirt bikes with at Bakers and she did well later in the Pro Circuit. He can't remember her last name but thought it was your sis. He said this Sue made all the guys look like they were standing still. She was that good. He'll talk to his friends and see if they remember her last name.

There was Sandy Shepherdson and Sue Purpura. They were the only girls that rode there in 72-73. My sister Donna was Miss Polonia and no way ever got dirty.... LOL
The only girl I know that went on the state circuit was a girl from Clinton and she is now the girl that fixes windshields. I don't remember her name.
There was Sue Storms whose brothers raced Expert Class. She did ride a little, but never did any real racing.... He may be thinking of a different time? I don't remember him hanging around when we were there. How old was he in 1972? We were all 14 - 16 then.

Ya know.... I really wish I could find someone that had some photo's of my old Altered at Cicero... Never got to run it at Utica-Rome. It was a bit before VHS, I think there might have been Beta by then.... so, I think video is out of the question.
Any pic's Trackman?
