RCFF Motorcycle Races...2020 Style

Body
EACH YEAR SINCE 1906 the 1/2 mile oval track at the fairgrounds in Stockton has been home to flat track motorcycle racing. With the cancellation of the 2020 Rooks County Free Fair motorcycle races which were scheduled to be held this week, the streak was in jeopardy. Therefore, this small group of Kansas riders did what they could to keep the consecutive racing streak alive by creating their own version of the races in Stockton on Saturday afternoon, August 1. Although the track conditions weren’t what the racers were accustomed to, the enthusiasm for the sport they love was unaffected by the pandemic, with each racer capturing a trophy in his respective class. Those enjoying an afternoon of fun were from left: Bud Posson, Norton, Dick Sherbondy, Stockton, Billy Smith, Norton and Hunter Townley, Lincoln

Castles in the sand

Body
MANY FROM STOCKTON remember the snow sculptures Michael McShea and his brothers, Matt and Kit, made in the yard of their family home on the 400 Block of North Third Street while growing up. What some may not realize is Michael is just as talented when it comes to making sandcastles. Here Michael is pictured with his sons, Matias, left, and Beau being held by Michael. Michael enjoys spending time with his boys at The Country Club of Colorado in Colorado Springs and making sand sculptures for people to enjoy. See Page 10A of this issue for a look at his July 4th creation, which recently appeared on the website for the country club.
