Update 10/22/2010: Here you will see probably some of the oldest
video footage of early races at the Jolly Rogers Motorcycle Club Race
Track. The Jollies club race track was famous as being one of the best
in the northwest and races were well attended. The videos here are
converted from old Super 8 home movies taken by long time Jollies' member and
previous club Custodian & Sgt-at-Arms, CJ Seymour and featuring "Life"
time Jollies' member and previous Sec/Tres for approx 20 years, "the
Great Seymour" racing along with his son
David and
Ron Bennett JR both
long time club members.
The Jolly Rogers Motorcycle Club race track was located at just below
Military Road and south of 216th in Kent, WA. Almost all the races
featured here in these videos are from that location.
The "Great Seymour" can be seen racing in most of these videos riding
the red 501 Maico. There are also some of him on his black 360 Yamaha
MX. He is also seen racing in the 200 class on a blue, bored out Honda
SL100. In the videos long time Jollies member Ron Bennett JR can be seen
riding a 500 BSA MX with an aluminum gas tank and Seymour's son David
Seymour riding a yellow Yamaha 100 MX.
One of the highlights of racing at the Jolly's track was making the turn
around the tree at the north end. The fastest way around was to ride
well up on the 6 foot berm and then jump back down on the track. Another
joy was drifting through the sweeper preceding it.
As the process to convert these movies into a web format is a lengthy
process please check back often as the library of footage grows. Enjoy!
