What's REALLY strange was the he had the BALLS to show up the next year representing Oakley - the Ambuc guys at the gate were dumbfounded that he would do such a thing. Needless to say, he got a VERY frosty reception from everyone.

Bottom line, Dana Duke's poor judgement single handedly changed the history of MX.
why. Or maybe the two shocks reduced the swap effect caused by extra torque.
That story above was just the way I remember it. Me and my Mom were just talking about this the other day. She was saying that she thought I was dead because they thought I was Kyle (same color of hair) and I guess they couldn't make out the face. But my Aunt was there and thinking much more clear than my Mom and said "that's not Larry" and they took off back to the track were me and my Dad were waiting for the whole protest bullshit to be done with. I remember the police taking Ralph Bunch to the side and telling him what had happened. I'll never forget the look on Ralph's face. And my Mom, I thought she was going to pop me like a grape, she was hugging me so tight.
Later that night I remember going Ralph Bunch's room at the Holiday Inn. My Dad and Mom took me over there to talk to him and they were drinking beer and smoking cig's like crazy. Ralph started talking about riding and what I needed to do to be better. He was in such pain, now that I think back. He was just holding the tears back. I think we were all trying to hold them back, but I wasn't doing a very good job because I just couldn't stop crying. Rick's Mom and Dad and family where out of there, they took off right away and I didn't see them till the funeral. Rick was still alive and they had Life Flighted him to some hospital pretty far away. I have no idea where Kyle's parents were. I didn't know them like I knew the Hemme's and Ralph and Bruce. Sad day in the world of Amature motocross.
That was to quietest drive home that we ever had. No fighting, no talking, nothing. Just driving in silence.
I could go on and on, but I really can't right now. I have to work. We have a bunch of testing going on this week.
Thanks for posting on this topic and including your memories of that dreadful time period. Certainly appreciated...
