I watched the vid of the old school mx thread, and it got me to thinking: Where and what are the riders I grew up wanting to be like doing now? I as watched the vid I wondered where Team Honda's Steve "Too Tight" Wright and Rodney Gentry and Suzuki's Gary Denton, then I seen it was a Golden state national race. Glad to see the Bulldog win it though as he is/was my favorite rider. Any one know if the Golden state track is even there anymore? So here is my list of guys for where are they now:
Steve Wright
Rodney Gentry: knew he was back racing a few years ago
Donavon Hollond
Greg Staurt
Mark Earhardt any body know what happened with Mark back around 95/96 that he quit racing the GNC nationals? I know something happened at one of the races but didnt have internet back then.
Barry McCarty Last fast guy to run a Suzuki after the factorys left
Sean Finley
Charlie Shepard
John Scott Charlie and John where Doug Gusts teamates on the 89 or 90 CT team for Allen Knowles
and there was this guy forget his name that just ran TTs on a Suzuki and he was fast ah I remember his name Mark Lee (20 year old memories takes a little while to sort through all the cob webbs)
Gary Denton has his own company
Marty Hart is racing trucks in the CORR seris
Jim White is with Kawasaki I believe
Mickey Dunlap has his own racing products
Curtis Sparks has his own racing shop
Donny Banks promotes races or did
I know Im forgeting some people from the list its been 20 years. I do miss the days of no factory involvment. Teams like Duncan racing vs CT racing along with LRD, and Nacs battleing for the Mickey Thompson Grand Prix title along with the GNC Grand National title. So if anybody has info on this guys could you please share.
Thanks
