1974, Boston cycles was paying 75$ for 1st 50$ for 2nd and 25 for 3rd. It didn’t take long to pay for that Yamaha 100. Oh and of course that awesome Boston cycles jersey. Not bad for a 14 year old making 1.65/hr digging trees at a nursery during the week.

This reminds me of when I started racing in 1972. In NC from 1972 -75 I could go to a race, pay $3 at the gate (included my entry fee), ride my two races and if I won my class (which I usually always got top three) I would make $20, 2nd $15 and 3rd $10. Gas was 49 cents. It was amazing back then. I really miss those days.

Glenn Vincent…. Wow he was my neighbor along with his brother Charlie. Top finishing American rider in the first USA race with the Europeans in New England I think it was 1969. Awesome mechanic too.

I think John Finkeldey is worthy of being on that list too. 8th overall in '82 and '83 500 National Series before injury ended his pro career.

Can I nominate Steve Burdette for the list? National #'s 36, 40, 41 and 74. He was wicked fast also!

I've been working with the Legends and Heroes for many years now, and it's always awesome to see people light up when they see a bike from their past and relive the memories.

In the late 70's Jimmy Meenan, Spencer Morrison and Jojo Keller were Nesc gods. I see Jimmy and Jojo on the list but not Spencer?

Well it looks like Tony Lorusso age 54 will make another attempt at setting the record for oldest national qualifier. Last year he missed it by one place in the LCQ.He probably has completed 1,000,000 laps at MX-338. Would be interesting to find out.

I just have to say I think Doug was the greatest NESC rider ever but Jimmy Ellis was somewhere between him and the junk yard dog imo. You had to see it to believe it, before he broke his pelvis it was absolutely incredible. Even after but as a 17 year old on that canned ham it was awesome. That...
