History question about first rookie national winner

I keep seeing everyone say Eli was the first. And I am not taking anything away from him. It is true. But didn't Robbie Reynard demolish the first race so much, that he was told to pull over and let the others by so he could still race Lorettas? I just remember in my head, him pulling over at his first race and letting them pass him?

Robbie never raced Lorettas in the A class, went from schoolboy to his first outdoor National. Only reason I know that is because I asked his sister a couple months back.

As far as I remember, RR didn't win the very first US national he entered...

That is my point. He didn't win. But Him or RC I remember pulling over and stopping to let the other guys pass so they could race a Lorettas race. If they got a certain place, they couldn't.

You really need to find a new sport. This one is obviously to complex for you to grasp.

RR is the youngest person to ever win a National.

RC didnt win his first first race at Steel City in 96.


There has never been, any "Pulling over" to let guys pass. You need to stop listening to the voices in your head.

Back to the critical question...

How could one race a National, then go back to Loretta's?

Not sure what the current rules are but the old rules were you could enter but if you made the main you lost LL eligibility. Didnt RR win the 1st moto at his 1st national (High Point) but not the overall?

Back in the day, example 1992. Ferry won LL's 125 & 250 Pro Sport Classes. He then raced the remaining Nationals on his national number 77 KX 125. He scored enough ponts in 91 to secure a national number, and was allowed to return to LL's the following year. He was running a Pro-Am license. Pro Sport class allowed you to race SX and Nationals while keeping eligibility for LL's. The "A" class was for everyone else.

Gentlemen...

I don't consider a day complete unless I learn something.

THAT was an education! What a wack system.

...and now I know.

Hey there Mr. John Birch...do you think it would be possible for you to impart your knowledge or "set someone straight" without belittling them and showing your @ss. Even if someones question seems foolish or stupid to you...your attitude makes you look bad. Like a spectator at the special olympics calling a runner stupid for falling over a hurdle. Not trying to start crap but funny is one thing and snide is something else.

I'm with you. I just wish there was a filter for the idiocy that runs rampant over everything here.

Raceguy...I heard this cool saying from Thomas Hardy the other day, "Learn something about everything and everything about something."

Listen to the Mathes Podcast with RR. He says he raced some other nationals before his first win at Steel City.

MiedOhhSo needs to be belittled as much as possible. His inability to grasp reality has made me dedicate a daily lashing in hopes to straighten him out as much as I can. He spews non sense daily, that he deems fact. From the 2 stroke conspiracy, to RC pulling over in the midst of his first pro race to "let people by".

I hope that clears up some confusion, as I'm not a douche, rather a humanitarian for the Re-Tard known as Miedo.

Good day gentleman

Pretty much the way I roll, dude. I can think of worse words to live by.

I am a hard-drive for absolutely useless information. I try to add to the collection daily.

Thanks for the quote. Wish more people in here would adopt that philosophy.

Wasnt there a "pro-am" license in the 80's,that allowed riders to race a national and still keep their amateur status?My memory is foggy on this. It seems to me Larry Ward took advantage of this at the begining of his career.

In Canada we allow Intermediates to ride MX2 (250) as Pro-Am riders. It helps maintain their amateur status. Unlike the US, kids can move up to Pro before age 16 here in Canuckistan.
