I was there and was helping Larry, he was also running and endurance event with Dan Chivington.
It did run hard and was ridden hard by Larry.
Does anyone know what became of Larry?

Jim,
I’ve been looking for him on and off without luck.I’d like to do a story on him if anyone knows how I can reach him.

I saw his name or someones as a stunt rigger on a few newer released movies.
I know back when he was riding in the east coat club circuits (he is from PA) he rode with the Smrz brothers.
I know one brother died doing a motorcycle stunt and the other is a stunt coordinator.
Dan Chivinton ran a motorcycle shop in Ohio, can’t reacll where, he might know.
I was there but it was long ago.
Remember when Dale Quarterly cut off the tip of his finger so he could go racing.
These guys were tough!
