This is very sad news. I've been following the updates on her for a few days now since she came back from Costa Rica. She has had a very rough past few years. I'll never forget her & Gaye Smith, and can't begin to thank them for their help when I raced the Iron Man at Whitney a few years back. If it wasn't for them I think I'd had a heat stroke. I still save the email she sent me back in 2005 when I was doing the web page for BMX Jeff,
I recently gave Chester a storage box of pictures that I have taken
at Burleson Motocross since back before TEX-MX News (aka Southern
Dirt Bike) was even created (1989). Burleson was our home track (we
only lived a half mile as the crow flies away and moved in a year
after Chester opened the track). We have always supported Chester
since our very first visit there and to this day are still great
friends with him and Denise...and watched those kids grow up. First
time we met Denise she was pregnant with A.J.
You might see if Chester would be willing to let you scan some of
the pictures for your website. Most of the oldies do not have names
on the back of the photo's....you almost need to be an antique like
me to remember who they are. Back then we didn't have a lot of
places to ride, so the crowds were much bigger due to the lack of
choices that now divide the riders. The first Sunday was always Lake
Whitney, the second Sunday was Burleson, the third Sunday was Wolf
Creek, the fourth Sunday was Swan and the four times a year there
was a 5th Sunday we'd go to Oak Hill. The only night racing was
Mosier Valley...every Friday night like clockwork.
I could go on and on with history and trivia...sorry for getting
distracted.
