40X Scottie Parker

Look at Scottie Parker, 40X, in - I'm pretty sure - his first year as an expert, 1979 .

How much does he want that holeshot?

His body language is the same as a football hooligan slamming through the front doors of a rival firm's pub, at 2.15 on a match day afternoon and shouting, 'Come on then! Who wants some?' G

Essential Viewing: Flat Track Racing Young Matadors

You must make the time to watch this. The first 20 mins are the best.
For regular readers of Sideburn you'll recognise a lot of names - Steve Eklund (and this season - Sideburn 13) Steve Morehead from (SB12); Mert Lawwill (SB13); Skip Aksland (SB11); Jay Springsteen (SB9); Scott Parker (SB8); Alex Jorgenson (SB7)...
This was sent to us by Dustin Aksland, son of former GNC pro Skip.

Hope all is well, by the looks of Sideburn it seems like you are pretty busy. 
Just wanted to share this video with you, it finally appeared online after many many years. You might have seen it, if so, sorry for the introduction. 
This short film follows Jay Springsteen through the 1979 season in pursuit of his 4th GNC title. 
I probably watched this film 400 times when I was a kid, because it features my pops getting second at the San Jose Mile. Eventually someone recorded over the film, (have to love VHS) and I thought it was gone forever. Then a few days ago a family friend posted it on Facebook. He runs a cool flat tracking group on Facebook, you should check it out, there are some great little gems on there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/WCDTs/ 
Take care, D

Metro x Springer's MX250 x Scott Parker

From Don at Metro Racing.

Here's a picture of Jay Springsteen's factory HD MX250 that he lent me for Scott Parker to ride at our 2 day AMA Vintage National event at the Square Deal Riders in Harpursville,NY on June 29th&30th. What is the connection with Parker to this bike you say. It is the very bike that Scotty won his first short track national on. Jay was feeling ill and lent the bike to Scotty. It will be awesome to see Scotty on this bike again.

This is brilliant. Make a cuppa, sit back and enjoy both parts. I just have. G

Scott Parker Star Guest

Parker goofing

I don't think he learnt that at American Supercamp

Parker plate!

Sideburn's mate, Marc Abbott, went on the Spanish launch of the new Harley XR1200 roadbike for quality UK bike magazine Performance Bikes. Scott Parker was guest of honour (honor if you're American) and every journalist was given a number 1 plate signed by Scottie.
Marc, dear, dear Marc, donated his to Sideburn HQ. We love you Marc.
