By Kurt StrecKer - ArizonA & Bronco Driver StAff s a young San Diego kid, I was A immersed into the speed culture but I was too young and poor to build anything. The Army gave me the first experience into the world of off - roading. Back in the 60’s… and as a young kid I was too stupid for words and felt indestructible. I jumped the trench line into the battlefields in a Honda Dream vehicle we took off the enemy. It was Vietnam 1967-1968. By the time I returned to the states - I had aged and the world of racing had evolved. No more 'Hair and Hound' desert racing, NORRA was now king. Ed Pearlman's, Baja 1000 was the new off road Indy 500. It called, no it screamed at me to come compete and so I did. Now - over 50 years later those days in the desert and on the streets having fun in powerful metal horses are ‘ kinda’ etched in the brain. Back then we played hard, par- tied harder, and ran at a break neck speed. So as some of the details may now fade into fuzzy - the stories and history are still worth reminiscing, and the pictures capture those moments in time.
