I would buy at least one copy of the book. My favorite Doug Henry memory is probably talking to him briefly and watching him ride his CR500 at the Meriden dump (a local sand pit/practice track) way back around 2002 one early spring day.

Paul - I've got a scrapbook full of pics of me at the NESC races that you took from 1979 until 1987 or so. I just pulled them out last night to show my 6 year old son. They bring back some great memories!

RIP Rich. My condolences to his family and friends. I still have old issues of MXA from the late 70's with pics of him. He and Marty Smith were two of my idols when I was a kid. Jody's story was an excellent read.

At a NETRA enduro back around 1986 my buddy puked his breakfast inside his Bell full face helmet at the finish. When he removed the helmet there was a chunk of home fried potato stuck to his cheek! I know its kinda gross, but we still laugh about it!

I was always a fan of Marty Smith when I was a kid. I met him in person at the Pine Top, Rhode Island National back in '78 or '79. I begged my mother to get me one of those cool Team Honda jerseys to wear! As far a Rachel Ray goes.........she's grown, but is still kinda hot in a...

Definitely nice to see a racer from New England with a great finish - I was happy to see him win the LCQ also!

Its a tie between my 84 KX125 or my 86 CR250. The KX was the 1st bike I had that made me feel truly competitive in MX. The CR was set-up for the woods (suspension re-valve,heavy flywheel,and a bunch of cool Devol guards) and just rocked. It was a great choice for NETRA hare scrambles.
