The 2nd Annual Hopetown Grand Prix reunion put on by the Zimmerman brothers, Mark and Randy at their company Specialty Fabrications, Inc., was in one word “Amazing.”
If you wanted to see and mingle amongst every kind of Vintage MX and other motorcycle displayed, and all the great personalities in the sport worldwide, today was the day. Joel Robert, Roger DeCoster, Torsten Hallman, JN Roberts, Rex Staten, Brad Lackey, John DeSoto, my motorcycle racing hero - Malcolm Smith, Preston Petty, Gary Bailey, Rick Johnson, Marty Tripes, Troy Lee, the Jones brothers, Tom White and on and on… A complete, over the top assembly of dirt racing of all kinds gathered here including the Zimmerman's private collection of rare race bikes and a fabulous collection of Triumph's. If there was such a thing as dirt racing heaven, this was it!
Old S’CooL was blessed to have 3 restored machines on display at the show. From what I could tell they were enjoyed by the guests.
I hope you enjoy these video's of the Reunion and a 1967 race at Hopetown, the site of the original -
