attending any race that Danny c.ompeted at within the northern Cahf~r
nia area until he left for the GPs ID
Europe, And r know that I am not the
only one who started up such a loyal
following.
Danny has done major co~e~cks
in his career and cenamly thiS httle
road block is not going LO stand in his
way. Danny has always had a smileor
an aULOgraph, plus a word of encouragement for his fellow racers and fans
after every event. Now it is time for us
fans and supporters to return his
generous efforts given over the years.
I think about the times he has made
me smile and feel proud LO be involved
in motocross, whether I'd be looking
at a magazine or watchi~gthe flag fa:1I
for his fourth consecuuve moLO WID
during the Motocross and Trophee
des aoons. I am hoping that all of
us who have contributed to the Pro
Rider Benefit Fund will bring a smile
LO Danny's face. Don't you?

I thought I'd let you know that
loyal fans, living away from the StaleS,
do feel the tragedy that Danny
"Magoo" Chandler went through and
the new, challenging life he faces. It
is only a small effort that I have contributed to the Pro Rider Benefit
Fund when compared to the effort
Danny has given LO the community
and sport of motocross. I can remember the first motocross race of my life
at Hangtown, watching an incredible
rider on a Maico fly down the main
downhill double-jumps, only LOuching the ground for a few seconds before
reaching a hair-pin turn at the bottom.
It was something Hannah and Howerton couldn't manage. Every time
this rider flew over the jumps, he
wou Id pitch the ba k-end of h is Maico
over the crowd and raise one hand in
the air LO the yells of "Magooo'"
From that race on, I found myself
