| In 1979 George got a break from Mc gill Motorcycles in Stockton Calif. They sold him bikes at cost and as an expert his bike parts were free. So He sold his 77 Husky he was racing and bought a YZ 400 & a YZ 250. That year he Won the Hangtown Quallifing Series, earning the # 11 (see center photo above) where he raced the likes of,Magoo,Daryl Schultz,Bob Myers,Todd Kohlmiester,Dick Butner, Ray Spore, Jim Lesnuski and having to ride "around" the antics of Bill Schartz and Michael Preston. |

| George raced for 4 years the first time around. In four years from 1975 to 1979 He raced MX. Making Expert his first year. Training with Donnie Cantaloupi Doing weight training at the local YMCA and running on the canal banks together. Other training techniques he picked up were when he saw Billy Grossi ride a unicycle at Hangtown, he went out and got one, mastered it and still uses one today. |
| Four inch flames shot out of the exaust port of the borrowed T5 Triumph Mx 500 George was riding. It was 2 laps from the finish of his first race. He was in third place. The header pipe falls off. The intense heat on his leg nor the noise was as intense as this teenagers will to be on the podium. This was 1975 and George has been comfortable up there ever since. George fell in love with riding early. His first bike a Yamaha L5T 100. Fun, but not a Dirtbike. The bike he really cut his teeth on was an RT1 mx. Which his mom helped him replace by co-signing for his 1975 Yamaha 400 B. |

| Before King George ever hit the track he was inspired by a childhood friend Rob Freggiaro. He would go over to his house and hang out . Rob's bedroom was a shrine to Motocross. With pictures of all the mx stars plastered all over the walls and ceiling. Rob rode an AT1mx Yamaha and helped George set up his RT1 360 for the riggors of MX. |
| Then at the end of the 79 season he Stopped. Just like that! " I was just burned out" he said it wasn't where I wanted to be on Sunday morning anymore. Years go by He meets his Love, Brenda settles down. In 2003 he starts racing Post Vintage on a Ric Tipton GP Maico with the sponsorship of Fred Ginn's Santa Rosa Paint Center. He won the Ultima 500 class. 2004 he was plagued with a knee injury and only raced occasionally. In 2005 he only made 5 Regionals. 2006, smart guy that he is he invents the Supersquare and commits his full attention to it and training for the 2007 season. |
