I love this thread and all the 90's glory. Notice how low we were running our levers back then?

Bad pic but it was convenient. I did have jerseys but a local pro made cut up tee shirts popular so we all copied.

... and your throttle hand is totally chopped and your bars way too low for 90's battle. Don't worry, looks like me.

Rockin the KX500 in the +50 class back in 98. My mechanic Brook was in the ProSport class. We're headed back to LL's today for him in the +40 class. His first year was 83 in the PW class. My how time flies.




Just another 90s pic from LL.

Good times there, those schoolboy races were no joke. I had a 4th OA in that one.

Love your bike! Where did you get the seat cover? Been looking for a black one with grip that looks like the 98/99 factory bikes

That's awesome. I haven't seen Ray Mitchel in years, he kinda disappeared after he got hurt. I think I rode with him 1 time a couple years after the injury. I completely forgot about Chad Montero. I used to race with those guys all the time back then, fun times.

Did Ray break his heals after he got a Gas Gas ride? I never saw him again after his accident. I believe Chad was fighting Ebstien Barr syndrome or something like that. I don't think I saw him after 92. He was so fast and aggressive
Correct. Ray broke both heels and that was the end for him. Saw him a few years back when he managed the local track and walked with a terrible limp/gait. He had a son that rode 50's and haven't seen either of them since new mgmt took over the track.

Chad Montero fizzled out after a bout with Epstein Barr. Tried to come back but wasn't the same. Last I saw him was at his wedding in the late 90's.

Earl May was the man at WFMP..

I'll dig up a pic or two as I raced there often through the mid 90's. Summer night series were the best.

Thanks bud, I think it was a One Industries seat cover but it was a long time ago so I'm not sure! Would like to see some pictures of yours once it's finished.

Man, that track in Milton was my favorite track by far! And the night series was so much fun. Here's one of me from the early 90's.

Man, I wish I'd had the foresight to snap a few pictures at Barona Oaks in the '80s and '90s. I would have "formative years" pictures of:

Mike Craig
Ryan Hughes
Craig Decker
Billy Laninovich...

I remember seeing you there, I believe. You were one of the faster guys on 80's at the track before moving to the 125s, if I am remembering correctly.

Yeah, I guess you could say that. I wasn't on a 125 for very long before I had to have back surgery (unrelated to MX). Milton was actually the last place I raced.
