| OK, so I might have messed up. I'll give you Brandon Mays as someone that deserves consideration for making my list. Facts about riders on my list: OVER ten have had top 100 National Numbers. Who are they?Atleast 4 have been in the top 3 at Amateur Nationals, 3 that can call themselves Champions. Some three time WNYSC/WNYMA #1 plate holders. ??? Yes, Bart Lucas is a former Amateur National Champion, but doesn't make my list. He does however make my top ten "Most Fameous WNYMA Riders" list. CLUE: My top TEN list can't have 45 riders on it. |

Tirepimp;
Is that the Clydesdale class that I have seen before? Weigh in at sign up, must be 200+ and over 30 right? They ran that at the Great Lakes Grand Prix this year...

Oh, sorry I comprimised the integrity of your thread.
Besides, speed is subjective. |

Doug,
yeah Kurt is amazing. I heard he is still fast. Plus he's a good guy!
I think longevity should be considered when discussing riders.
You should be on the list. |

| Ben thanks for the plug for jr, Ill take back all those nasty things I said about you riding in the white crap. After reading all those names and knowing 99% of them Im just getting way to old. Another name to ad to the list is Joe Hebeler, he use to show up like once a month and race and just go out and wax the 125 expert class. Used to really piss me off he made it look so easy. Also Frank was faster than Andy, although Frank was older, i dont believe Andy was able to beat Frank, when they ran against each other. It was fun to watch though. |

| I've seen many amateurs that look pretty fast. Then they finally move up to expert and people say "He use to be so much faster" More than 75% can't cut it and you don't see them the next year or ever again. |

Clydesdale class? Catchy....I like it. Now is that 200 with or without gear? Oh wait, doesn't matter really. Clydesdale Lites and Heavies?
Double digit numbers from NY...top of my feeble head:
Aaron Dieter
Brian Austin
Bruce Stratton
Frank Stacy
Andy Stacy
Mike Lauterborn
Paul Carpenter
Fred Vertucci
Wait, there's more....let me think a bit.
OK I thought, a bit of a stretch...also Kurt McMillen, Carlo Coen, Sonny DeFeo, Jim Wienert...still thinking..... |

| Corey, I want to remove Matt Herman in exchange for Bob Kiniry on my all time list. I'm not sure how I've been watching him weekly in the Lites class and not have him come to mind first thing while putting together my list. You're a great rider. |

| They say Hind-Sight is 20/20. I'm Ignorant. Frank Stacy Facts: National Numbers include 18,39,40,67, and 81. In 1979, he made the podium @ Southwick (3rd) in the 250 class. He not only deserves to be on my list, he is arguably First. |

I don't think he ever held a WNYMA card but I remember about 10 years ago we were at Hunt. My kid was on an 80 at the time. Then this kid rolls up to the line. He looked like a Harry Potter bookworm type of kid. Then the gate dropped and he proceeded to wax our 80 class which included some very fast kids (Meyer, Dunnings, maybe Alex.)
Last night the same kid was battling for a SX Lites Heat race win at San Diego.
