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. |

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. |
