Came out in mismatched gear, no gloves and won a moto. There was a big buzz after that race, he came out in some nice looking "Flame" racewear for the next moto..
Can't recall how the week ended up...
Have look at this link for the info...

But this is what it said...
“I wanted to put something together so he could get to the races” stated Tuf Powersports Andy Stacy. As a member of factory Maico, Husqvarna and Team Tamm in the 1980’s Stacy can relate to the ups and downs of professional Motocross and the struggles to find support and competitive equipment.

I think Junior Jackson was a factory Suzuki rider... just signed with them... then got hurt.
Couple other that I remember racing against were John Cook, Chad Burelson, Dennis Stapleton, My brother Kelly rode pro around here, but I was back in TN racing at the time so I never really saw him ride. I rode my first year as a pro in fall of 95 here then finished my career back East.
I remember Robbie, Butch and Rusty duking it out at the underpass in Los Banos during one of our Bounty Hunter races. Butch's girlfriend Shannon was on the track fighting with them scratching the you know what out of all of them. That was when Robbie was a little uh how to you say "Big" in size.
Another guy I remember was Tyler Hummel. Their parents owned a Suzuki place in San Jose and last I heard his brother Shawn was working at Chapparal.
Sadly though, the next whoop section took him down and his TLD helmet was broke in more than one spot. The Asterisk Medical Unit advised him to take the night off and see his doctor when he got back home. He was loopy to say the least.
That dude was a nut.

Chris Radzinski (if he would have trained)

Mike Steinhoff (worlds fastest begginer)
All grew up riding the hills of Simi Valley and could have all made it with a little luck.
Thats funny stuff right there, how much did you make in Yamabucks over the years after you paid off Radzinski ?
Still talk with Josh all the time and Mark is big in the Motard thingy (as you probably already knew)
He showed up with Davis and couple others at my house; I can swear he was still recovering from the accident, but like said, it was long before when you saw him riding.
I might be outta my mind....LOL....ask him if you see him again. Pretty sure it happened though..
Mike Steinhoff was known as the fastest begginer because he got into the wrong gate one friday night at Indian Dunes and lead the pro class untill they black flaged him and put him in the right gate, the begginer class, that and he started racing again about 10 years later and piilaged a bunch of contengencie money.
I remember Chad Burleson being a real good mini rider; him and Scott Davis, Justin Tierney, Jake Windham had good battles up here in Int class although Davis was only Int for a short time then turned Pro and Chad either got hurt or lost interest when he turned Pro. Nathan Woods as well; think he turned Pro around same time or bit later..
I remember a story in early 90s at Lodi or Stockton Fairgrounds my friend Dale Hansen, who use to be Dist 36 Blue Plate DT'er in the 70's beat Rusty straight up......Russ was so mad he wanted to fight Dale....and Dale is like my age, 50 now; Rusty must be close to 40 now. Dale said he told Rusty something like he sucked if an old man could beat him....I've always liked Rusty....Butch Smith...woulda, shoulda, coulda..
I remember Bennett at SXs in '95, '96, 7...thereabouts....he was good...I kept thinking he was Pat Foster for some reason..The 125 SX classes were stacked with to me the best crop of Ints in those mid '90ish days...
You mentioned John Cook....I thought you were talking about the John Cook of the '70s that went to Speedway....Just saw him last week with Magoo at Jimmy Sills place.
I wrenched and helped Davis out after his first sponsor went to other things....PM me on who you are if you don't mind...Got me wondering....lol.
