CRRC-CMRA Archives...

While I was talking to one of the industry leaders today, something came up that is flat out scary. There are very few people in the CMRA left that really have witnessed what has gone on within the club for any extended time.

To me, this is a not so good thing. I am a firm believer that if you don't know the history of yourself, you can't use good judgement in your future decisions.

I am working on putting all of the newsletters I have on-line. I have newsletters from 88-2002. I am missing most of 94 & 95 as I was too broke to race and had to watch for 2 years while I financially bailed myself out.

In a few weeks, I am going to ask for any newsletters that I don't have from older members (Sorry, if I am asking for it and you got it, YOU ARE OLD [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] ) I think this will give a lot of members perspective on what really went on. I am trying to get all pages with Race Reports, Ads, and Commentary scanned in, but I probably won't be able to get the actual results sheets in as it takes 600DPI scanning and at 8x12, the files get too big.

Here is your link, my goal is 2-3 newsletters a week. have fun reading:

OK, computer crashed 3 days after I started this. Finally have the scanner back up. Good news now is that I can scan (and read results).

This latest one is from 1989. It has some really neat articles (season wrap up issue).

Names to look for

Sam McDonald
Luther Lowman/Mike Jones (Team Smoke, now racing again)
Jeff Harder (NOT JEFFREY, Jeff) - See "Team Mad Dog" ad.
Larry Bauer (Yep, same Larry)
David Hirsh
Phillip Fisher
Joe Prussiano (novice)
Eric Falt

Also read the Race Director's report (TMGP people will recognize Dennie Spears name [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] )

Lastly, look at the club news versus today's club news. CRRC/CMRA has come a long way indeed, although we still had problems getting results in ARM (JU was editor there too! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] )

There are a total of 12 pages. (Photos 32-43)

Jack, just when i thought you were quite intelligent i read you threw away your inside lines. Man what were you thinking this is your history. Still think your smart though.

What's dumber, Jay, is I gave away all my old TZ250 and RD stuff to clean out the shop once. I sincerely thought I was through with racing. That stuff might be worth a small fortune on ebay now and my shop is no cleaner than it was! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

But, maybe contact Charlie Brothers? He might have the stuff from the late 70s and early 80s. He was a star, probably wanted to record his history, LOL. I kept some publications, Cycle News, Inside Lines, and such where I was written about, but I don't know where any of it went. Probably lost in the dust bunnies somewhere. Also, in Austin, Chris Fox might have stashed some of that. He provided pix of Aquafest for an article in Texmoto once. He might be a pack rat of history, LOL. There are others I can think of to contact. I could ask around. Bob, ol' Bob Dickey, you readin' this thread?

Yep. I'll go back through the archives and look for TMRA/CRRC/CMRA stough.

Hey! A cold one to the first person (besides Jack) who can identify Lou Linden and why he was important in our history.

OK Eric, I owe you the cold one of your choice (not my ex...). Lou was indeed a founding father butt, by that time, he was a lawyer. Pretty nice guy in spite of that, though [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
