2020 Inductee Cal Wells III #FlashbackFriday #FBF - Left to Right: Tommy Morris, Ivan Stewart, Cal Wells III, and Cal Wells Jr. Boyd Jaynes photo.
By November of 1979, Wells officially opened a small race shop in Westminster. It was still more of a hobby shop, but one of Cal’s first customers was off-road legend Joe MacPherson. Soon Tommy Morris arrived with his old Class 8, followed by Frank “Scoop” Vessels, Bob Gordon and Charlotte Corral. During this time Cal also worked for MacPherson and ORMHOF inductee and off-road pioneer Drino Miller.

2020 Inductee Bob Bower #FlashbackFriday #FBF - Bo

2020 Inductee Bob Bower #FlashbackFriday #FBF - Bower’s vision was to establish a common direction on the racecourse and in the pits and bring all the teams into one big BFG team. “The direction we’re heading is very, very clear.” “That is to be the best between the green and checkered flags”. Bower launched the BFGoodrich Pit Support program. To this day the BFGoodrich Pits are arguably the most successful and widely used pit service in Off-Road Desert Racing.

We are pleased to announce that Mark and Vanessa F

We are pleased to announce that Mark and Vanessa Fusting have donated this beautiful historical class 8 to the Off Road Motorsports Hall Of Fame. This truck was built by one of Bill Stroppe’s guys for Mike Burke. Mike won class 8 at the 1976 “Wet and Wild” Baja 1000. Over the years it switched hands from Ron Clyborne and Steve McEachern. After the truck went downhill and was almost lost forever until Mark saved it from certain death. After a painstaking restoration the truck looks (and drives) as good as new! We hope to have a new home for this truck soon to get it out back in the Public eye. Thanks again to Mark and Vanessa, 2020 is starting to look up! @ford @bfgoodrichtires @fox @knfilters @torcoracefuels @roughcountry @americanracing

HUGE shout out to Gary and Jan Haugley from Vista

HUGE shout out to Gary and Jan Haugley from Vista California. When we had a mishap at the museum with some drywall and insulation falling on the Herman Booy Buggy (looked MUCH worse then it really was) the Haugley’s jumped into action. Anyone who knows them was not surprised as this is a normal occurrence for these two as they are always trying to help out anyone in the off road community. Gary owned @bandr_buggie for over 30 years while in Oceanside and recently sold the business. When the Booy Buggy needed a little love to get back into tip top shape the Haugley’s jumped into action. In only 1 short week the Booy Buggy was back, good as new, ready for its next stint for display wherever that may be. In the meantime @sandtiresunlimited also extended their hand to store our beloved Buggy at their facility until we find a good spot for it. Kinda fitting that the Guy’s buggy who invented the paddle tire is being stored at the #1 paddle tire dealer....😬💪👍. From all of us at ORMHOF, thank you Jan and Gary, we appreciate everything you do for us.

From @cycleworld, a description of the #DannyHamel

From @cycleworld, a description of the #DannyHamel @kawasakiusa that dominated Baja in the mid 90’s. “Built by Dave Pyle of Kawasaki Team Green with Pro Circuit additions, the KX500 is in unrestored race condition, just as it came out of the desert after Danny Hamel's 1995 season. This was the machine that powered Hamel , to his 1994 Baja 1000 Championship when he was teamed with AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers Larry Roeseler and Ty Davis. It also played a part in his 1995 AMA National Hare & Hound Championship -- his fifth title on Kawasakis. This historic KX500 is owned by Kawasaki Motors Corp”. @ridedunlop @renthal_moto @piaa_usa @acerbisusa @officialngksparkplugs @bel_raycompany @procircuit78 photo credit @racersonly

A closer look at the #ParnelliJones #WalkerEvans C

A closer look at the #ParnelliJones #WalkerEvans Chevy truck. This truck was raced by Walker in the mid 70’s and won a lot of races. The truck was built and raced in class 8 but was so fast that they moved it to class 2 for a while (2 seat unlimited vehicles) which is usually for buggies. Dick Russell built the truck and got “creative” with a few things including moving the frame rails closer together so he could make the front a-arms a little wider. Amazing how far these vehicles have come in a span of 45 years. This truck is currently on display at the @motorsportshof in Daytona.

2020 Inductee Cal Wells III #FlashbackFriday #FBF - ORMHOF inductee Cal Wells III behind the wheel, with his father Cal Jr. co-driving, in the family’s early Ford Bronco. By 1972 Cal was helping a neighbor prep a Ford truck for the Baja 500. The owner was Bill Deterlie who was running his truck through Bill Stroppe Racing in nearby Signal Hill, Calif. Soon after he started volunteering at Stroppe’s shop and became friends with many of the mechanics, machinists and fabricators who worked there.
