      Seeing the RC Eng. on the tail i had forgotten that Vance and Hines worked for Russ Collins until they started their own company in 1980.

        Terry Vance was always a gentleman to me when I'd see him. I remember sitting in the staging lanes at a IDBA race at Edgewater Raceway. Terry was walking through the staging lanes and came over to me to wish me good luck and patted me on the back. I won that round and got a runner up for the race. 👍

          I happened to be up at Willow Springs with my nephews to watch some club racing. As it happened, both Muzzy Kawasaki AMA Superbike team and Vance and Hines team was there too. I was riding my TR25 from vantage point to vantage point. I happened upon Mr Muzzy and Mr. Vance by the pit wall. They were having a conversation and laughing about how after the work they expend to make a company's products competitive and successful in racing, the factory begins to believe that the factory is where the success came from, and they don't want to continue paying the team. There was some top level racing at that club race that day.

          Prior to that, I went to a national at OCIR with guys from work to watch a drag race National. I think he was running top fuel there at the time.

                He hosted them on another website (he uses Photobucket so probably that) so he could insert them as URL's instead of attachments. (see the third icon from the right "insert image")
