What class

1974 thru 1980. Missed 1977 with a busted femur. I won a vet race some months ago, I have trophies from 1971 thru 2005.

2nd Anaheim 125 sx...Broc Glover won...it was either 75 or 76
Steve Bauer got 3rd

I won lots of 125 and 250 pro races but just riding the 125 Nationals in 76 was tops for me. Everything was kicked up a notch. Especially in the qualifiers.

i got 29th in my first ever big bike race...out of 40 people i was stoked and i was only 13

Most pleasing ... 1995 on a '93 CR250 - came back 16 years after my work injury and went from Clubman to Expert basically in one season.

Most significant ... 1975 on the RM125S - went from Jnr to Pro and managed to beat some of the guys who would become champions of our sport.

That was the 1st Anaheim (High School Race) in "75" you got 2nd at, I remember that race like yesterday, You & Glover Battled until the very end.

1-1 at Starwest over 30 Vet nov.class July 4th, 1998. They ran a combine gate with the 125,250,Open, & Vet Pro's, Int. & Nov. Got the Holeshot in the 2nd moto on my 89 honda CR250 RJ replica

Most rewarding, my first MX trophy for 5th in the 80 class, out of nearly 100 people. My Mom could not believe that they gave trophies to more than the winner or losers as she called them. She humiliated me so much that I threw it away...hehehe.

Most $$$$ rewarding, going 6th,5th,6th and 10th in the U.S. Off-Road Championships in 1997-2000. \

Everyone of my 3,000+ motos has been great though.

It was December 12th, 1975. American Motocross Finals is what they called the event, and you're right, the half-time race was the high school state championship. There were some very good riders there that night, including Mark Lawrence, Bobby Jones and a whole bunch of other guys you probably never heard of. Broc and I were teammates at DG Performance. I don't think Dave was riding for them at that time, but I could be wrong. In any event, I remember it like TODAY, and it wasn't quite like you remember it. Moot point, though, same result!

I was behind Broc until the 2nd to last lap, when I caught the rear brake pedal of my Elsinore 125 on the ground in a right-hand hairpin turn, stalling it and bending it straight out to the right. It was a common problem with those Elsies in the first couple of years.

Not to take anything away from Dave Eropkin's excellent ride, but I had him covered on that night, and neither of us were able to challenge Broc.

In the old days some top 3 finishes at corona in 78 in modern times I bought a 98 400f and won 1 moto at mammoth was the fastest in my class but had guys crash me out on the uphill and the tree corner.That place is fun but hardcore.

You are right, I think Dave and Glover battled for a few laps. Dave was riding for PK racing on a all white elsie, I just remember his long ass hair hanging out of his helmet. All you guys were lightening fast back then, so my hats of you. Funny, We have crossed paths numerous time but have never really chatted, other than me getting a laugh out of watching you and Knobby throw barbs at each other. Great race at the Final wasn't it.
