Just read the article on Bevo in the April 2012 issue of RacerX, and it was one of the best I have read in a while. A guy that has been such an influence on so many top riders had to affect some of the guys on here in some way. So lets hear it..

At Loretta's in '95, I had 2 pairs of Scott goggles when I showed up that week. At sign up, they gave a voucher for 10 free Scott tearoffs that were redeamable at the Scott rig. When I got over there on a bicycle, Bevo asked if I had ever used them before, and of course I hadn't. He showed me how to apply them, how to use them and gave me 2 free lenses since he could see my 2 pair both had worn out lenses. He asked what class I was riding, then told me good luck, he would look for me.

After a top 3 finish the following day, I came by to say thanks for the handout. He handed me a few stickers and said "Good job today, buddy. Top 3 isn't easy here". Made my day.

1985 and 87'. helped me with goggles/lenses/tear offs at both ponca, LL's and gatorback. He was always surrounded by a crowd of kids. I remember having to clear out of I think it was Larocco's motorhome when mrs. Larocco would cook him dinner at LL's. Bevo liked to eat.
