I lived in Ventura for a bout 10 years of my life off and on. My parents are from there. My dad was in the Air Foirce so I moved around alot, which is cool becuase I got to meet so many people and see so many things growing up. We use to go back to Ventura on my spring breaks and during the summers here and there. I would alwyas take my ride and i would hit up the tracks were ever we wnet. I raced at Farnum when it was at the Saticoy river bottom. I remember it moved somewhere else and I raced it once I think. I first raced at Simi when the trees around the track were about calf high. The trees are HUGE now. LOL!!!! Anyway, I moved back to Ventura in '88 but I just rode, I wasn't racing consistantly.

I don't remember the name you mentioned, but I raced Scott Dealhondro (sp?) Darwin & Dana Griffin, and guys like that. I usually got my ass handed to me as those guys were Badaases on the National circuit.LOL!!! Good times for sure. I have some good pix from Franum. I'll try and scan them and post them up.
