Still looking Steve.  I've looked through 100's of old photos of family.  But, I think I know where they are at.  In a filing cabinet in my dad's enclosure.   The problem is, getting to the filing cabinet with over 500 or more BMX old school trophies LOL.  I'll rumage through the trophies and take photos.  I believe I also have boxes of brand new Ame grips, a box of brand new shimano parts, zeronine plates, black bull-eye hubs laced with old school araya ( Darrell Young style ), origianl plates, and other items.

Sean,
 
I remember being out at the Santa Clara Wienersnitzel(sp) and Alex trying to race me with his "350" Cutlass.  I know big block Olds when I hear it!Wacko

I remember Alex after we were done with bmx (well in my case I am never done!) doing smokey burnouts in his Olds Cutles at car shows in Sac! Those were really fun times until the Sierra Club put an end to that fun.Cry
