I was there with my Dad for the Superbowl of motocross, rooting for Jimmy Ellis. I think I still have the program for the evening.

75 LA Colliseum was just a hell of a televised event. So many of the sport's stars were in that event, and they were in their prime. The sport really reached a peak on that night.

I remember watching him every weekend at the NESC MX races, he was light years ahead of everyone , he showed the rest of us what was possible and made the rest better.

Jimmy was a New England kid and was the local hero. Few could stay with him.
