Watching Dowd tear it up and hear the fans still show their support that much.
Guys got heart; he and Henry were cut from the same cloth.

I love Dowd, but you know the 450 class is SAD when a 44 year old gets 2nd in a national moto.

Congrats to JD! He has that track dialed. Good to see. I love to see the mix up. Seven different winners, an all out exciting 250 class, etc etc.

JD is unhuman.. You cant take nothing away from the other riders Dowd is just that good period..
Im pumped for Goerke after last years crap that happened to him at the Wick and then so far this year hes been going down from trying so hard he pulls it off.. Good on both of them.

John took the time to talk suspension set up with me a couple years ago at Mammoth, one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in motocross. He's my age and I wish I had half his speed and endurance.

I cant imagine anyone wanting and being able to compete at that level at that age....period.

Ask RC if he would like to come back in 15 years and try and podium at southwick..lol

Although i wouldnt put it past him.
