PROFILE: A Husband and wife team of vintage motorcycle riders in the USA riding mostly only USCRA (United States Classic Racing Association) races. They do some racing in Canada with VRRA also. The USCRA somehow managed to get the FIM vintage racing charter for North America, so while AHRMA and WERA are much bigger, USCRA can claim to host the FIM vintage championship :) and USCRA are also the oldest vintage race club in the USA.
JOHN BRANSON - races a 1973 CB175 Honda in the 200gp class. Basic race motor ....ported heads, race camshaft, bigger carbs, updated ignition and exhaust. Chassis and swingarm are modified stock.

MARY BRANSON - races a 1970 72cc Honda 4s single in North American FIM vintage racing.. Mary won the championship on this bike in 2001 and took second this year in 2002. Mary's bike is a highly modified 72cc SOHC single as used in Honda SL70, CT70 (Dax) etc.. John built the frame, fork clamps, rear sets, and lots of little stuff, exhaust was built DownUnder - probably why its so fast ...... :). They are turning in about 12-13k rpm during the races, and its holding up nicely.
