I was in the Orange/Tustin area in April 1976 and took some pictures of BMX and sidehack racing at a downhill track. Not sure where but it was a large mountain track to me (looking at it as a flatlander from MO). Anyone interested in seeing some to identify the riders? I will need someone to post them for me.

Rick, I sent 20 images I took (at Corona maybe?) in April/May76 and seven I took at a race we attended in Wichita, KA in 1977 I think. Hope you can post them and the folks here can pick out some of themselves or their friends racing or in the crowds.
Thanks Rick.

Wow... Wichita in 77! Looking forward to that... still a couple years before my time, but should be fascinating.
JU was telling me he almost got struck by lightening in Wichita, 77 might have been a little prior to that shocking experience.

I'm curious about all of them but mostly the Corona(?) pics.

Mike,
Rick is posting them. The Wichita race was Sept 3, 1976. I sent Rick seven from there and I found three more but none are as close as I wish they were. However, B and W is easy to blow up.
Thanks for the kind offer of help Mike.

I don't know JU.
I see many many resemblences. I'm sure you'll agree.
Hair brush anyone?

You know, I saw lots of things in Wichita but never saw that dude get electrified.
