Re: RIP Art Baumann
That's too true. I just hope that I may leave just a small part of my legacy to indure for a little while when I am gone. But the good memories will always remain. We just need to instill the history of these fine sportsman in to the younger generations so they will live on.

Art Baumann was the first person to bring a Japanese two-stroke a win in an AMA National at Sears Point. The 1969 TR500.
