August 12, 200719 yr As a 14 year old I was at the event in 75 and my brother @ 16 competed in it ! He was the kid with the nice full page photo in cycle world !!! Ragy shirt and all ... So I think I may (powers that be helping) miss the ITSA championship in tn. and take my kids to visit their greatgrammie in mass. and bring my trusty fantic and ride your event (where i rode a few back in the day !)... But is the legondary Don Sweet gonna be there ? I bet his kids and/or grandkids ride ? He was my idol when I rode in the netra on my mini trail yammer when i was a kid and then I moved up to a tl125............. Boy I miss New england ! Hope I can be there !
