Boss Hogg is from "The Dukes of Hazzard." The Boss Hoss is the correct
name. You're right about Honda and the
Valkyrie, it's not the biggest on two
• wheels - 1520 vs 5800cc, it's not even
close. What about the old Indian 2000cc?
You're right about something else as
well - stick to lightweights.
I'd .also like to thank you for the Dirt
Track Spedal Issue (#23, June 12). It was
very informative. My prediction as the
series heats up is (barring injuries) •
Parker, Davis and King in a battle to the
end. Go, Rich!

Russell fourth, K.R. Jr. fifth, Hale
fifth, Edwards sixth, Kidcinski seventh.
Separate races, but all promising results
for the Americans. They're baaaack...
Someone please do Erv Kanemoto a
big favor and ride his bike.

The Deuce
I'm about to give up on ESPN2. I
thought the racing coverage would be
better with less stick and ball. I guess I
was wrong because they still can't get
anything on schedule. I think I'm going
to drop them just to cut down on my
aggravation level. I think Cycle News
shoutd stop running their advertise-
ments, too. The times listed are wrong
more than they are right.
Maybe I should just forget about following racing and reading about stuff
and just go riding.

Thanks
We would like to take the time to thank
Chris Wallwork, the promoter of the
Wild West Nationals for bring such a
fun environment to the sport of
motocross. We wold also like to thank
Larry Jackson, of the Owhee Motorcycle
Park in Boise, Idaho, for organizing the
fourth round of this series.
It is this atmosphere that reminds uS
of what motocross is: great tracks, hard
racing, many race fans, thoughtfUl and
friendly people, and the fun that
motocross is.
Larry, his sister Nicole, his roommates Stew, Bodi and Russ were all too
friendly. They loaned us bikes, gave us
their beds, fed us, and showed us a fun
weekend in Boise. Even though Denny
broke his collarbone, he stated: "This
has been the best weekend of racing I've
had in a long time."
To everybody who works, races, or
spectates at the Wild West ationals,
thank you. AJso, Denny would like to
thank Rodney Reynolds of Western
Power Sports for loaning him his YZ250
at the last minute and Erick would like
to thank Gary at Layton Yamaha.
