Jammin Jimmy started as #84, but soon switched to #1 cause he was usually the champion in his class fron the year before. Also, thanks for the kind words about the #44. The good ol days! JE44
LOL you are correct so far far. Your missing the # I had my first year and the # I had between 564&569. both times only reason for changing #s is that I didnt renew my license in time and the ama gave my previous # away! My bad..
Some things I found while looking for Joe's two other national #'s.

A couple more WNY riders with National #'s not mentioned
Jesse Milley: 278 Josh Cislo: 338 (before J-law) Joe Celso: 713 (Had a sweet lead in his qualifer at Unadilla) Myself: 274 Jeremy Tiffany: 233 (Did well at Southwick Finished like 20th or something)
It was also brought to my attention that WNYMAs DRPerformance head guru Davey Richards had the Pro #351 in 93' I believe Pete Phillips also had #521 for a couple yrs? Ps. You had a Pro license a yr or 2 didnt you Corey? je
A few more with a Pro Lic from WNY Marty Mcdonald (aka MAC) a top ten expert in WNY, UNTIL HE GOT GLASSES, and realized he could see bumps and found a woman and got married. He qaalified at Steel City and Red Bud.
Josh Cislo (Qualified for approx 15 nationals in US and quite a few in Canada) he is now a tire tester at Maxxis tires in GA. and his dad Greg Cislo was a pro card holder.
Brian Tremblay although not a WNY card holder showed up once in a while to ride our events he even scored a few points on the 500 2 or 3 seasons. I know he was my roomate at Alfred. He is still a regular at Maple shade which he helped design.
Great Answers!! My question goes out to motomen125 (and anyone else that can give me the right answer)
Frank Stacy had 5 top 100 National numbers that included 18 39 40 67 and 81. If that is Frank at the 1979 Southwick National, how would you explain the #35 on his bike?
Who's who in WNY? Top 20
