| Just returned from an International race in the Czech Republic. Traveling with me were Team Czechard Past members Mike Tillman and Pete Silva. We all had a great trip! The race was put on by Vetern Motocross Club Habes u ACR and put on in the same town where the CZ factory is called Strakonice. A little different from AHRMA, but all good none the less. There were 3 different classes; modern, C-Z class (anything with a C-Z motor) and the veterns. The C-Z class was way cool, over 65 entries on 1 gate. There were C-Zs in every kind of frame and lots of EVO C-Zs. In the Vets with me there was one other champ from the past, Zdenek Velky ( 1975 250cc) and 2 vice world champs (as they say in Europe) Jaroslav Falta (1974) and Ove Lundell ( 2nd in 1962 on a Monark). The track was long, ruff and all grass with motos 10 minutes + 2 laps -- about 7 or 8 laps. In the first moto Falta, Velky and myself changed the lead many times with Velky winning and I was second. The second moto was again a good race with Falta winning, Velky second and I faded to 4th. Overall: - Velky 1st, CZ, - Lackey 2nd, USA, - Larsson 3rd, Sweden. Mike Tillman rode his first International race and finished; 1st moto = 12th 2nd moto = 10th for 10th overall with 25 riders on the gate. A great ride for mike!! I and the Czechard Past Boys would like to give a special thanks to Bedrich Bendick for treating us like kings and to every body in the Czech Republic let me say Dobra Pevo! Thanks, Brad |
