I raced in the Pacific Northwest starting in 1981. I began with a 1981 YZ 80. Then in 1983 I went to Kawasaki's threw 1985. In 1986 I raced both 80's and 125's. I moved back to Yamaha and raced 1987-89 on Yamaha's. In 1990 I went to Suzuki's and raced 125 and 250 class at the expert level and moved to professional in 1991. In 1992 I gave up racing to concentrate on a college and professional baseball career. Some of my best memories are racing against the likes of Lowell Thompson, Larry Ward, Brian Thompson, Rick Simmet, Paul Winn, Jeff Dailey, Ryan Huffman, John Calhoun, Jamie Munson and others. I loved riding and my dad raced professional flat track / cross country / motocross (they did it all back in the day) for several years. Memories of reading motocross magazines and especially Minicyle back in the day. Mouse McCoy and the So Cal boys were always in that magazine. Man were those the days.
