A big thank you to the Crooked River Ranch community for welcoming us
for the thrid year in a row. A big thanks to our Conductor Pete Fisher, and all the
volunteers that made up the Steel Stampede Orchestra.
(A special thank you to the blond gal at the Big Dog Saloon who changed
the channel on the wide screen to the live Las Vegas Supercross and who realized a room
full of customers, (vintage motocycle people), did not want to watch NASCAR)

Argyll Park, Dixon, California
June 28, 2009
Hot racing at Dixon
The afternoon temperature may have reached 108 degrees
at Dixon, but it did not deter the enthusiasm of the AHRMA VMX racers and volunteers. The
program started on time and ran like clockwork, with the last of 12 motos being completed
well before two o'clock. 130 entries enjoyed the track designed by Rob Poole. The design
allowed for passing in many places. The competitors took advantage of it, some passing
each other four to five times each lap. So, not only was the temp hot, but so was the
racing!
The trophy presentation was certainly heart-warming. Last year, eighty four year old AHRMA
competitor, Jim McDannald lost his house and all his motorcycles in a fire. At Dixon, Jim
was presented with a green Greeves rugby shirt, a copy of a Greeves ad from Nick
Nicholson's shop and a newly restored Greeves Challenger. The neat part of the
presentation, Tom Bentley was giving Jim the jersey and the ad copy, he then said we had
something else we wanted him to have. At that time, we heard the Greeves fire up in the
pits and Kenny rode it through the crowd to Jim. It was very touching.
Kenny Sykes restored the beautiful machine. Friends of Jim contributed
money and parts toward the restoration. We thank all who made this happen, especially
Kenny, for all the time he put in on this wonderful project.
