I found an old envelope with a few old school photos inside. These photos are from a CMC Golden State Nationals race in Huron Ca. It was a winter series so these had to be taken dec 1985 - jan 1986.

3wheeler start L to R Curtis Sparks, Eddie Sanders, ?Fowler?, Jimmy White with the holeshot.
edit=That "might" be a young Charlie Shepherd behind Eddie by his left elbow before his time with kawi. hmmm thinking...digging deeep...its very foggy in here.

Jimmy White

Eddie Sanders

Eddie Sanders

Jimmy Whites in the pits with a bunch of yellow around.

I am surprised that I didn't have 1 of Curtis only and pit shots of Eddie and Curtis R's.

Brian Fry

Jim Puttman 12 ( he did a lot of magazine stuff and this is very possibly a magazine project quad ) in front of I believe his name was Jeff Watts.

That is it. I wish that I had more.
I will play around with my scans to see if I can improve these a little. Poor quality to start but a little better then shown.

Some old ticket stubs that were in the 29 year old envelope.

It was cool and probably very new being that I searched it out for a photo and didn't search out eddie or curtis hondas for photos.

I played with this dark shot of Eddies 250r a little. Junk quality but you can now see it is an 86 seat with short track tank.

edit= Man I am beating myself up over not having photos of eddie and curtis R's like I took of jimmys tecate. That would be so cool to have posted right now.

Interesting idea.. I know he is probably too busy to be on here with us but maybe a slow in your spare time type interview / questions via email. Maybe I will try to get something.
