I wonder if I got into the pits if I could barrow a bike from someone.... I've never crashed one of those bikes

Not flat track/mx to go as a participant.

Last post by Susie Ellsworth - June 01, 2014, 08:47:44 PMHigher resolutions photo would help. One track he was positive was Costa Mesa, one we were thinking it could be at Calabassas, not sure where the one with the Joshua tree was, could have been Sir Keigen Stadium (1948 -early 1950"s). The one with the 4 Ace, he said it wasn't Pop. He knew him at that point in time and # 46 could have been Leo Robbins (1948), Chuck Morris (1947), Bob Shirey (1949) or earlier, Harry Feuerheim.
I am going to try to print out the photos, but higher res. would help.

Last post by Susie Ellsworth - May 27, 2014, 02:44:09 PMAfter cleaning up the photos, they may be later than I thought, but still in the early 1940's... Know a guy that used to hang out at BOZO's Indian Motorcycle Shop in Santa Monica. Have been invited down to have a chat with him. He didn't recognize the race track. Will see another old timer this Thursday and will check with him.

Last post by Susie Ellsworth - May 20, 2014, 08:57:35 AMMotorcycle race 3 is backwards,,, rider is #53, but haven't found him in the program yet. #4 is listed as George Seeger, #37 is Chuck Basney (I know Chuck Junior), #22 Louis Lista.
Was thinking the track was SirKegian Stadium, but not so, It materialized between 1948, and pop's number had changed to 49x by then.
If the photos were in better resolution, I would take them to a couple vintage friends of mine and ask a few questions. But do know for sure, #46 is my dad and 37 is Chuck Basney. Still haven't placed the track, that is what I need Parti or Ekins for. One is a history buff and the other has been there/done that and has a sharp memory.
