Check out this spectacular shot of Suzuki support rider Gary Denton getting into a turn at the St. Pete 125cc Motocross National in 1982 ahead of Johnny O’Mara (9), George Holland (44), Jeff Ward (11), Jim Gibson (8), Doug Jackson (57) and others. Denton had a great season that year, finishing 7th in the final AMA 125cc National Motocross Championship, the top non-factory rider. Gary went on to become an early ATV National Champion and today is in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame based primarily on his accomplishments in ATV racing. (Tom Mueller photo)
