'05 CRF-450X, Desert Dashes in Apple Valley,Lucerne and Dove Springs. Looking forward to getting back into D-37 Desert and G.P.races
from the early days in the pits watching JN Roberts come through week after week with a huge lead, to actually leading a race overall after passing Dan Smith (had cactus in his hand) and then getting caught and passed by Bill Saltzman 5 miles from the finish. Many memories in-between.
So many memories involving so many great people in the Desert. Let's all share those great racing moments (and Trophy Presentation Party Nights) on this site to keep the sport alive and growing.
