A lot of people don’t realize just how small RC was back in the day and for him to ride a 2 stroke 250 to the edge is INSANE the amount of conditioning and strength he had to have. RC is great to watch race!

Ricky.. much respect you completely rewrote the history and the future of the sport of AMA Moto and supercross. You brought the sport to a whole new level of preparation and competition.

I met Ricky about 20 years ago in Madison FL. He was traveling through. Not being a chump but asked him for his autograph. Nice guy glady gave it to me. At the time I was a weekend warrior KX 500. Had various bikes throughout the years. Anyway my longtime mechanic who raced in the seventies sponsored etc was dumbfounded when I said I have something for you. Handed it to him and he held it like the holy grail. At 51 I don't ride anymore but hearing seeing smelling a 2 stroker brings back memories

“We had no air-conditioning in this place, by the way. We wanted to be in the elements.” That harkens back to when Bob Hannah suffered heat stroke at the New Orleans national in 1975. After that he swore off air-conditioning of any kind. No wonder Hannah and Carmichael were so dominant.
