Tony Brush #402 - Rich Winkler #281 Sometimes in the mid to late 1970's
Michael James on his 1986 Cagiva WMX 125. This was one of the first Cagiva's sold in New York.
MSC Legend Steve Agronick on his Maico 400 at the Southwick National.
Another great piece of memorabilia from James Schmits. Unfortunately not much is known about this event. Jim recalls these details;
This track is a horse ranch now.
The date is September 26, but no one knows or has been able to trace back in time to figure out the year.
I think that it was in the early 1950′s???
Anyone have any information about this event?
Fellow MSC racer James Schmits sent in these photos and stories. Enjoy.
Monticello- 1972
1972-Monticello I am # 324 and on the left with red helmet is John Kenny from Little Falls,NJ and behind him is Barry Dean from “Dean of Sports” Haledon,NJ. I didn’t know many others then and it was my first Trophy. I got second to a kid that Traded his horse for an XL 250 like the one I rode. He actually had a tin pie plate for the front # plate. ( And the horn worked)
Kid with pie plate
Modena- 1973
1973– Modena: I am #27 ( which I have kept to date) my first expert race – - – # 50 is Vito Parisi, behind him is Merrit Brown and behind him is ? Smith. 18 bikes started I got run over and was able to remount for the first of 3 restarts; the ambulance left twice and I think it was around 10 who finished. It could have been a turning point but I was and still am not smart enuff to stop.

As a kid I used to deliver news papers to Joan and Charlie Watson and bought my first bike (350 Ducati) from there shop “Joan’s Chain and Sprocket” after I got out of the Army.
*
I spent a lot of time with Charlie; He was a character and is missed. I have lost touch with Joan.
*
I was lucky enough to spend time on the Track at Fishkill with the Legendary “Jim Fennel” ( Cigar and all) and I was able to steel the #1 plate from Lew Holas in 75′.

Those were great times and I have more pics for you.
