Jeff Glass

Ryan Clark

2 privateers that really upped the game with sponsorships and made things sustainable for themselves even if they weren't at the front of the pack.

-Barry Carsten. Grew up watching him race local, even took a few gate drops beside him. Not too mention he is still ripping.

Terry, get your wrinkly ass off the internets and get those motors done.

Jeff Walker. I love watching his videos. Seems like a really cool down to earth guy and he did pretty well at a few nationals this year as well.

I do my best to not do the "fan" thing, since I have to have some impartiality

and we've helped a lot of riders, help some go race in Europe and elsewhere, so you can say I am a fan of all of them...

But, modern day, Weston's kill or be killed, go at all costs, attitude is impressive. His Daytona meltdown bother some, but I liked it, it show heart and passion.


Of all time, has to be the guys who did it in the 70's and 80's

There was no flying, GPS, internet, cell phones or "toy haulers" and only factory guys had box vans....they did that shit in a van. They lived in a van for a better part of the year, every year.

Y'all think BobbyM is a crazy old man, and while that may be true, he's a hard core MF'er who did it that way for many years.

It was a hard, shitty life

Coty Shock. Seems like a good kid and he raced at our club, Pagoda MX. Back in the 90s it was Steve Herman because we practiced at the same track.

Ronnie Stewart, It was so fun watch him making it into the night show in the LCQ and celebrating in the finishing line with the fist pump.

Top Jimmy, before turning into ronnie Mac
