"Hi; I am at work and it's a slow
day so I did a search of AAMRR. I was so pleased to
find your site! I was a score keeper and did registration for
AAMRR from around 1969-74 or 75. My friend Mary Menard and I would get
the bikes lined up for each race and write their numbers down as they
zoomed past us. We'd figure the results. We had a wonderful time. I
was truly a road racing groupie back in the day. I was a high school
art teacher in the early 70's and had lots of boy students
into dirt bikes. I would bring in pictures of the
races and the kids couldn't believe such bikes
existed. I am so pleased to see the beautiful bikes on
the road now...my step-son is riding a very nice Yamaha "Crotch
Rocket". It is great to see so many ladies driving
bikes now too. In my motor cycle racing days the
only lady I saw race was Carter Aslop (I think that
was her name) and she was good. Some names I remember; Davis Nees,
Jim Walsh, Jan Jolles. I have some photos I have saved. Again,
you made my day.

lady he is talking to took photos of the guys racing…she did a nice
job! Mary Gothe?
Probably around 1972
A very nice photo of David Nees racing. The lady photographer in
the prior photo took this. I did a painting of it for David….date
again is around 1972, I think

Moore. Burns lived in
Kutztown
,
Pa. where Mary Menard and I were going to college. We saw his
bike on a trailer one day as he was getting ready to go to a race
somewhere and we had to stop and ask….we had never seen such a bike.
He explained it all to us and we went to a race to check it all out not
long afterwards. That was in 1969 or 70….we were hooked.
