I can't remember exactly what year it was but I had the LA Supercross from like 84 or 85 on tape. It was the race where Bob Hannah would not jump the quad jump and also where Bailey and Johnson jumped the quad side by side and almost hit in mid air.
Anywho, Huffman had several commentator lines that I will never forget being said on a TV broadcast.
"He slid by him slicker than a mayonnaise sandwich." I don't remember who was passing who but I'll never forget that line.
And then when a guy came up short on a jump Huffman said.... "No damage except to his underwear.".
Those were classic.

Jeff Ward squats 600 lbs and competes in triathlons for fun.
Larry Huffman was a legend, he brought excitement and drama to Supercross and was able to entertain the hardcore and casual fans alike. We used to sell thousands of SX video's in the 80's here in the UK and after a long weekend at a consumer show, we could literally recite his commentary word for word!
If you think he was so bad, how come many companies in the auto and m/c industry would use him for voiceovers on radio and TV commercials?
That was how the 80's and 90's rolled back then, announcers able to call it like it was, no PC brigade, or social media backlash.
If you prefer the "vanilla" like comments of today, each to his own!
Pit Row
I watched a speedway race on TV once from that track. They were having a bikini contest with about 20 absolutely stunning women.
He said, I think these women are running more CC's than tonights racers.
What a cool thread!
"Ward went by like a snake oil salesman in the night."
This tracks slicker than sweet baby rays running down your moms meatloaf
He just punched his ticket to domination station
Hes letting it feed like an antelope on cantelope
Someone call the pound this puppies out of control
Someone call Progressive hes gonna need to file a claim after that slam
Some old ones I have heard in past
Hes as suttle as a bull in a china shop
Hes moving up on him like pacman
Like a hot knife going thru a stick of butter
Holy Toledo
