When I was a kid and remember going to the World Finals Qualifiers in Region 5 at Lake Conroe (Banna Bay) and Galveston ( Isle west park) Lake Grapevine. There were touring pros that would come race there D.L. Wood , Brett Biggart, Jason Shultz, Greg Foulkes, Chris Hagest, Matt Alligood, Clay Ingram, Mikey Ross, Matt Anderson.They rode for Sammy White's Kawasaki or Johnny O's or Main Jet or Gene's Polaris or AJ Foyts? What happened to those guys? Anyone know what they are up to these day's. If so we should get them to come out to the R5 races and see how its all changed. Where are the Texas Legends?

Oh wow...

I totally remember Bryden and his wife. If I remember correct they were part of a racing group here in Austin called "The Outlaws".

Is this correct? if so, I cannot believe how long I been away. I remember riding with them once on a track back @ Inks Lake. Great group and very fast riders.

dont forget about Bo Burkes spectacular 3rd place finish at auqafest on his flying 300, you can't say enough about a good pit crew.

Does anyone remember Mike West from Corpus Cristi, He rode for Greens racing carbs? He had the spray painted pack skis with pink splatter paint. He and my brother use to have the best battles in superstock in novice and expert.

Does any one remember Derwin " The Pirahana " Perkins? He had a fleet of old X2's and switched to racing waveblasters? I think he was from the Grapevine area?
