I hear a lot around here about a guy named Furman Grey but he was before my time. Heard he led some nationals but broke his collarbone a couple times and hung it up.

Huffman looked soooo fast and ballsout but there would be McCormack right behind him seemingly going half the pace because he was so much smoother in style.
Couple of Huffman stories. I was pitted near him at SIR one June during a pac-west race. I think he holeshot and won both motos of the int. class that day. Anyways, the promoter, I think it was that Webhill raceways guy, came over and dq'd Ryan for jumping the gate on his starts. Ryan went ballistic! Screaming bloody murder to the point of making himself hoarse. Epic meltdown. VERY competitive guy Ryan was/is.
A year or two later I was at the Ridgefield ax doing my thing in the intermediate class and that day they let the int. and pros race together, which Ryan was at that time. The track that day had a wall jump right after the first turn which most guys were rolling, not Ryan. Ballsout hitting it as hard as he can and flatlanding in the next corner. No thankyou. Anyways, we went off the line, Ryan holeshots, slides out and I go by into the lead. Heres my big opportunity to beat the fast guy I think! 2 laps later hes all over me heading for the wall jump. I know hes going to blitz that thing and he does. I swear there was a moment when he was in the air and my throttle was off that I could hear some woman in the stands gasp loudly as I'm sure she thought Ryan was going to land on me from 20 foot up. I smartly moved over before Ryan G'd out to my right and took the lead. I think McCormack broke his wrist that same day flat landing that same jump if I remember right.
Good times they were.
Super fast kid from the Norcal area. Dude was gnarly. Did pretty well in SX and scored some top 20 finishes in MX.
Had a fight with Ryan Mills in SX one year, the same year Langston got DQ'd from a round when he rode the KTM.
But he would battle with Ryan Morais on a weekly basis and watching them both was a real treat while I was waiting for my motos.

NESC was one of the toughest series. Most of those guys ran 2-3 classes and killed it. Then came Doug Henry and even Chuck Norris took notice...
There use to be a guy with the last name of Oyster or something like that years ago at SIR that would hand Lance his ass.
The dude from Spanaway that won a 500cc national at washougal. Beleive his dad owns a ktm shop on Pac Highway.
There was a track outside Monroe that would attrack all the top riders from Canada to north Cali. Maybe cause Jay Whipple was holding riding lessons there and the track had four practice area's.
Jay Whipple in my mind is the person who made RV who he is.
In the early 90's Chad Montero from Lousiana always impressed me with how aggressive he was.
