Steve Scmitz fast socal local guy.
Tim Locey 6 in the 500 nats in 84 thought would get a ride.
Gary Bowman 9 in the 125 nats in 84 then eruptly quit.
Jim Tarentino he did some Honda Reseach and did good at cmc and some nationals but never got a ride.

Steve never made the Honda "A" team, in the states, but did go on to win a couple of Japanese National championships.
Steve Ryhan had support rides with Husky and Maico but never got to the big time.
David Gerhig tested for MXA and was fast but never did Nationals to my knowledge.
Gary Ogden who taught at the Suzuki School of Motocross did well at the Nationals but had the worse luck also.
