Frankie,
Here is another pretty good picture of it, not bad for 1967 or 68. This was the frame I built for the Shovel and I started building that motor about this time.
That's my Ranchero.

1968 Match Race
Frank,
Times, dates are a little confusing for the time of that match race. I think it was when I was building my first chassis and that race was when it was still a stock frame. It says low percentage, I can't remember what it was because when I first went to fuel I started with 10 percent and when I got tuned to that I went up to twenty percent, I did it ten percent at a time so I could learn how fuel worked. There was no charts then, I mixed with a two cup cooking measurer, you know one cup of this and nine cups of that, etc. It was somewhere around 1968, I think and I think I won all three rounds. I don't recall what the AHRA records were we had but I think one of us had the ET and the other had the speed record and I think it was a track record, just can't remember.

Filling the Stands
That's great news, anything to put spectators in the stands and with you and your fellow racers there that makes you part of the entertainment.
Some one back posted that the reason AHDRA had a lot of spectators that included a lot of bikes ridden in by some of the spectators was because it's a life style event with a race. Sounds like that is what you have happening.
The stuff on ebay, is it that frame, leathers, fairings, etc.? That's been on there quite a bit also there is someone selling my pictures thru ebay.

Big Tire
I have one question. If you took off the big tire and put; say a street tire on the back that was four inches wide in the same alightment front to rear and both wheels on the ground (as long as the frame didn't bottom out) and let go of the bike, would it fall to one side or the other?
