I used to race against Lowell Thomspon, His Cousin Brian Thompson, Larry Ward, Rick Simmet, Paul Winn, Jeff Dailey, John Calhoun, and Jamie Munson in the 80 and 125 classes.
Those were great days of motocross in the mini (80) ranks in the Pacific Northwest.
We had our version of Southern Cal minicyle motos up here in the Northwest when all these guys lined up for a big regional 80 race. At the big races we would have 20 kids on the line and those racers were amazing. There were a few other riders as well, but names ecscape me right now. Maybe somebody from the northwest will remember those glory days I sure do.
Let's talk about those 1980's. Larry Ward, Lowell Thompson, Rick Simmett and Jason McCormick all won Amatuer Nationals. Eric Eaton won at Washougal National, and I think Jason McCormick won a moto (not sure about overall) there as well.
Anybody have any great memories of these Mini experts, 125 pro-ams, 125/250 or even 500 pros from the great decade of the 1980's in Pacific Northwest motocross? Love to hear them!
