Yes!  Johnny Oz raced my CR480 at the So Cal Vintage MX Classic, at Glen Helen this past Saturday.  ;D

I had to apologize for the poor fork setup on the bike, but John rode great in spite of the unbalanced suspension.  In his first moto he blasted out of a full gate and wheelied to a holeshot into the "Talledega" first corner.

I will try to post a video later.

Thanks for the ride Jay, l appreciate it so much, your 480 is a missile! If we can get it started lol ;-)  lt will be nicer to ride with some fork damping, it could have been worse, l am so happy that l got to race it.

Glad I could help out John and I do apologize again for the lack of damping in the forks.  I will tear them down soon and get to the bottom of it. 

I hope you enjoy your stay here and have a safe visit!
