"The team of Norris Rancourt (Rider) and Orin Hall (Tuner) and the amazing 5-speed Parilla Gransport GP bike that Orin had built up."  (This looks like the pits at Vacaville  TM)
    
"Also, here's a neat picture of my brother, Tom, future AFM 50cc & 125cc Champ for 2 or 3 years (can't remember) and also future AFM #1, riding My CR-110 in an exibition race in DOWNTOWN San Francisco at the Civic Center on closed off city streets (Yes, the AFM did "get around" in those days)."
   
"A pic of the super Art Bauman, at the time a rider for Precsion Machining of San Bruno, Cal. on the 350cc and 450cc racers they built.  Bauman was almost unbeatable on either one of these bikes for quite some time!  This pic was taken at the old State Fairgrounds at Sacramento, where the AFM and the race promoter had designed a race course on the city-like streets of the fairgrounds and buildings that went completely around the 1 Mile dirt track used for horse races and the AMA Nationals.
