Broc is listed as being from Holly Michigan. I thought once he was from NC but now he probably lives in California.

Can any Michiganders confirm? I don't see Nick Wey claiming him. Same goes for Izzi, from Michigan?

His wife is from Holly, just down the street from where some friends and I used to ride. I believe you are correct, he is originally from North Carolina.

Izzi is a naitive Michigander, and i believe used to date Broc's wife.

Cool thanks.

Would be nice to see the state keep producing top riders but Tickle isn't really from there.

Wow Taylor futtrell. Is he still riding? That's a kid that if things went his way he could have really done something. Its to bad the timing was off on his career because that kid is talented.

that would be nice ramrod but haven't really seen any up n comers from michigan since Izzi-Regal and the aging Wey-K Smith. Joey Crown may be our next guy in a few years but it has been kinda sad the last decade or so cause we used to have a dozen top 99 guys from district 14 in the 80's and 90's..It's like the pipeline dried up or maybe its just too expensive anymore!!??Sad

Saw this post and thought I'd add a rider over looked his whole career. His father worked as a car mechanic and would go home to help him ride, train, work on bikes, keep up there home track and after he went to bed. His dad would go back out to his small shop and work on cars for extra money for racing. They lived on a small piece of land in a mobile home. The yard was a practice track. Even saw him out run 277 on his Serious Racewear bike heads up. ( Not taking anything away from 277. Great rider). The bikes he rode, most were bought used, were stock. I helped them as much as I could and when he started racing 250's and 450 4-strokes, I would buy his bikes when he was ready to sell them. In 2008, he raced AMA Pro Outdoor Nationals on an all STOCK Yamaha YZF450. I know it was all stock, because to my surprise, I bought the bike still dirty from Steel City thinking it had to be built. But as with all the bikes I bought. Stock. Who is this rider??? Steven Houser #531. Steven was all talent going against other riders with talent and built bikes. Never complained, but always humble. Just thought he deserved his spot on here with his fellow NC/SC riders.
