Tomac at Salt Lake in 2017, then 2018 second motos at Hangtown, Glen Helen, Millville, Washougal, and Budds. Those Late race charges will forever be stuck in my head.

When Magoo won both motos at MXDN, legend is that when going out for second moto, Rodger mentioned his lack of chest protector, Danny smiled and said "don't need it".

RC is the GOAT no doubt. Single most dominant ride though, ET3 2015 Hangtown on a dry track. He crossed the finish line 1’31” before Dungey and was 5.4sec faster on their fastest lap. 11 of Eli’s 15 timed laps in moto 2 were faster than Dungey’s fastest lap.
I watched this when it happened. Amazing. Anyone have a link to watch it again?

Some of those Herlings races in 2018 were ridiculous.

Also, want to mention Lamson at MXdN beating ALL other riders on his 125, including his teammates.

I just rewatched this last week. Adding to that, later in the moto he was averaging over 7 seconds a lap on the next fastest person, besides their fastest times. Just unreal.

For me I can never go passed Tortellis ride at Glen Helen 1999 season opene.r On a track he had never ridden in a new country on concrete start and against a stacked field, both motos came from behind and made evryone look like they were just obstacles on the track he had to go around. If you have never seen it you need to watch it, very impressive.

Factory KTM 250 in Europe is by far the fastest bike in that class. Dominant ride? All the kind of sand clinics Herlings did with it back in the days. Lapping up to 3rd place at a GP and winning allot of moto’s over a minute.
He lapped up to 2nd.

The single most impressive ride I've ever seen in my life, i thought it was an announcing error when they said he was 1:31 ahead of Dungey, I swore they meant to say 31 seconds instead.

What's crazy is how batshit fast he was going at Glen Helen the next weekend too, went 1-1 overall and looked like the fastest human I've ever seen on a dirtbike. He went 1-1-1-1-1 in all 5 motos that he finished in the outdoors that year.

And then Thunder Valley happened with one of the most painful crashes I can think of, he was SCREAMING down that turn.....

Everts 98 mxdn, Masterclass in the mud, seems his son may have acquired some of that wet weather skill. Lucky enough to witness it first hand.

Not a single dominant rider but two; RC and Reedy at San Diego 2005.
They lapped all the way to third,(and would have lapped 3rd given a few more corners). Unheard of on a dry track and at the pinnacle of two stroke racing.

Awesome! Much appreciated.
I watched this race the day it aired and have never seen anyone go that fast on a dirtbike. Pure next level shit.
