Between Races. We Are Bored. You Old Dudes Wanna ID some riders ?

Larocco with an early scrub?

We have yet to identify #189 on the Honda.

I was at Kenworthy's I think the first year of the widow maker, I remember walking the track with my friends and wondering why this big mound of dirt was in the middle of nothing with a little mound and then a big mound thinking to double that would be tricky as it was right up against the big mound.

Saturday I was on the starting gate waiting for the race that was on the track to finish and JD Collins cleared the entire thing. I was like holy shit. Even the announcer was like WOW JD Collins cleared the Widow maker, I had not seen anyone do it or even try up to that point. Cause of him I went home and built me one , I wanted to be able to jump like JD. The next year I came back and jumped it. He was even pitted next to us and was I nice kid. It was sad to hear he had passed.

#3 Honda is Johnny O

That's George Holland. Johnny O' rode for Suzuki in '88.

I can’t name one rider!!…..But those are some cool pics

There is no #23 noleen/sizzler yamaha ,it's yamaha of troy and it's Wey in 2001. Both pic's of #21 yamaha are Metiasevich in 1994.

That was the jump from the pro section back onto the normal track. Not so much of a scrub just jumping at an angle back on to the main track if I remember correctly.

Great pics Rup.

Don’t think anyone mentioned Robbie Reynard #593. 

Lots of Jeff Glass in there, with the sweet Surf Detergent deal 

Who is that in image #3 (89-90 RM125 #18) Ronnie Tichener wore an Aria, looks like that one is a Shoei. Todd Dehoop maybe?

38 is dehoop.  first honda of troy rider.  he got kehoe hooked up next

also dehoop.  i was at there house a lot getting parts for those 89-90 rms

Looks like Tom Carson? Just a shot in the dark

Gotcha. Cool pic!

Probably the most obvious outside sponsor this sport has ever had. Kind of makes me wonder why other riders/teams haven’t gotten detergent companies to sponsor them on a big scale. 

Once I looked on computer, what I thought was a 23 on a Nolen Yamaha was #21 on Yamaha and thought 2nd #21 was a Nolen Yamaha. yep bigger picture can see its Matiasevich. I stand corrected

#189 is Mighty Mike Katin.

I think #19 on the YZ125 (second pic) is Mike Craig. 

Great photos! I can name almost all of them and the year. I'm getting old!!!

Also, I enjoy MXGP so there was racing this weekend.

David Hand still races a little. The Midwest racers a tick  slower still race in the Midwest a lot  .  Quite a few wrong I think 18 is Jimmy Gadis rm125.  Your best thread ever Rupter X.

I had to look back at some old Giden State National races

It is Mike Larocco in 1989 sporting the sweet blue YZR/AXO gear.

Craig was #59 in 1989 and wore fox.

Your memory is better than mine, sir.

Hell yea! Loving those early 2000’s pics

Image #8 (189 on Honda) looks a lot like Larry Brooks

The second set of photos has a shot with  J-Law in it!

I was a moto obsessed kid in the late 80s, early nineties. The photos and magazines from that era are permanently etched into my memory. Plus I had a poster of that "Larocco's business suit" ad on my wall that i got from the local yamaha dealer.

I'd like to see prime Dogger up against Jettson
