This is for you 'older' guy's I suppose!

Does anyone ever remember Brad Lackey racing flat-track?
Only thing I can find on him refers Moto-X . But a friend of mine is
convinced he raced flat-track???

Given what is said about him in the Hall-of-Fame web-site,..training &
racing in Europe,.in the 70's-80's winning the National & then the
World,..& all that.
I can't imagine he would have even had the time.

I don't recall him ever racing Flat Track per se, but being from NorCal he
may have done Ascot a time, or two. I recall him being an anti-war poster
boy of sorts and doing the Trans AMA thing back in the 70's, then gone to
Europe, but other than him being a MX'er, not too much, maybe Sturdy will
know...

Certainly possible but I wasn't on the west coast back then.
For certain he ran some "scrambles" as they were still more
popular than MX when he started racing, I think.

I recall seeing him spectating at the Ashland vintage flat track last
year, if that means anything.

I wish. I'd just swap lower ends with the one out of
the stock frame but this one has a stroker crank.
With the big hicomp piston, the roller cam, and
the Mr.Cylinder head work, it's as fast as a decent
250 Elsinore and WAY more tractable.

Another winter project. It's sitting till then as there
weren't any more vintage MX on my calendar this
year anyway. At least one supermoto, a couple
dual sport rides, an enduro, and American Supercamp
though.

I think this is pretty close to the truth. It would have been
difficult to
not race both in that era.I'll ask my dad -- he knows Brad from back
in
the day.

The 'Vintage Bikes Suck' thing has to be a joke.
