Washougal 2006. Almost hard to describe how excited I was during that race, even tho RC bailed and ended up losing. That was one for the ages.

Hannah and Howerton at Saddleback.

Pick any of three or four 450 SX mains from this year.

The last turn from Steel City 2011.

One of the 250 races from Thunder Valley in 2008/9? was pretty exciting from what I remember.

Using the in person criteria, I like watching my Dad race - he's 59 now! RC lapping the field at Spring Creek was the best pro race I saw in person. It wasn't particularly exciting, but it was quite the display of mud riding prowess. The way he kept just riding around tons of stuck and struggling riders was amazing! With the huge up and downhill sections, turns packed with talented stuck riders like James Stewart, and pouring rain, it was for the ages!

Pittsburgh- Three Rivers SX 1978 Hannah was leading and went down on the 15th lap, went back to 6th
and got Tripes on lap 19 for the win.

Is this also the race Hannah won on a STOCK Yamaha provided by a dealer?

Then scratch my Glen helen response.


07 Stl SX when Reed punted Stewart on lap one, JS came back to punt Reed. Both punting happened right in front of us.
06 Daytona- Travis Pastrana, I dont need to say anything else. Now that I think about it, every Travis race I witnessed.
Every year I go to the Springfield Mile.

Anahiem something 2000. Danny Smith (the only 125 doing the quad) chasing Talon Vohland and catching up lap after lap. One more lap and he would have had him. Vohland wins.

Henry dominate Vegas on the yz400f. Nobody knew what to expect & he blew the competition away. In highnsight, I wish it never happenned - starting the whole 4 stroke thing. But, I do believe the 2 Ryans are pushing really hard, almost like watching RC again & its getting exciting to watch. RC used to gap the field by 3 or 4 seconds a lap, now we have 2 riders doing that - its awesome to see.

And any race on 125s when RC and Tyson Vohland battled was always badass!

1980 saddleback 125 national Myerscough lapped up to 3rd place and the class was stacked ! Barnett, Ward, Glover, O'Mara etc. An amazing race ! There's really so many I've seen our CMC Golden States were epic.
