Wow. A post from Locdawg that is not fueled by rage and hate against all things moto..... They must not of spent as much chasing the dream in the late 90/s early 2000's !

Lots of familiarity here!!
47 - Evenou : Maryland
49 - Willard :Ohio
811- Lichtle : Mi
160 - _______ ?
457: Jay Weller : Unsure of State, but he still is a LL regular. Always been a little husky, but always been super fast as well....
92 : Ryan Coleman :Ohio

I believe i'm in this shot to, tucked away, 2 behind 160, however I can't confirm that.

Also, is 89 Sean Hackley? Can't tell. Think I'm converging too many age groups together the more I think about it. Although I guarantee the dust cloud in front Evenou was probably Millsapps, or Hepler. They were un touchable. Maybe Chad Wages in there as well.

Wow, moto has changed a lot during the last 10-15 years.
I wonder what Honda was thinking here, this got to be the largest silencer (Okay, it's a close one if you consider the 426) ever.

Great pics Rupe! Especially the one of Charlie Dunaway, he used to ride at my house from time to time with Mike Katin. I haven't heard much about him since his accident.

I raced at this very race, Sunday Creek Regional. I believe this was the year of the locust, but might be year off. Good friend of mine is #5 David Ditcher on the Yamaha.

Georgie #56 is Willy Browning. Is that Josh Lichtle on the #811 Suzuki?

Great trip down memory lane, greatly appreciate it Rup! Love seeing pics of my childhood hero Brock Sellards! I live close to him & have always looked up to him, he's a great rider & person.

Good stuff. The day someone rebuilds one of those early CRF450s as a vintage project I must be dead.
