I love this shot from my buddy Grumpy (Bryan Clark) from the 1994 Nevada Rally. This event was really out of my comfort zone as the speeds were crazy fast. I was racing a factory Honda XR628 that Bruce Ogilvie set up for me. I had a full mechanic which was huge since the days were long with incredible amounts of unmarked real estate (150-450 miles a day!) reading a road book at 90 mph wasn’t something I had practiced. During the 1700-mile event I had great days racing with my hero Stephane Peterhansel, grim results with a giant issue flatting and banging bars with my friend Daryl Folks for 150 miles during a Special Test.

 Here’s a great look at the Nevada Rally, with the infamous Larry Meyers as the MC.
