Sure Magoo. Tallon Vohland.

Hell, Michael Brandes was so freekin' bad. He still can jump on a 450 after a long layoff and be so ridiculously fast today.

I thought LaRocco won a 500 Nat Championship for Kawi. Maybe the last year of 500s; '89/'90.

Brian Swink.

Michael Craig.

Rob Herring hands down. If he put in even half the effort some guys did he'd be the GOAT

Marty was a little like KW in that when he was on he was on and you couldn't stop him. The biggest difference is Kevin style is so smooth, Marty was a bull, he made that bike do what he wanted.

Yep. Absolutely. My pick as well. The man had tons of talent, has the heart of a lion, but never caught the breaks.

Good Choice Cygnus.

there's a lot of good ones for sure.

But, do you really think Lusk was a "natural"?

I always thought he worked his ass off to be where he was at. His was grit and determination.

I think you've gotta go with Windham, how many times did he finish 2nd to RC? It has to be 7 or 8 at least? He still has a shot but the window is closing.

Bradshaw has to be on that list, Lusk and Hughes too.

Dowd would definitely be a sentimental fav.Won races but never a championship.
