Jimmy was a great racer especially in the woods, but I saw Tyson Leggett pass and gap him a few times in mx.Jimmy Jarrett
This was at Beans 2010 week after Highpoint. There were other privateer pro's there that day and Jimmy would pass all of them and leave them for dead and he would be riding for over a hour non stop.
Think he won Loretta's +45 a few years ago as well.

When I was coming through the 60/80cc classes Tyson Leggett was my favorite rider to watch! He rode that KX around malvern like it floated across the bumps!

Denny Swartz from Reno, Ohio was a pro in the 70s, Todd Perkins from Duncan Falls, Ohio was an Am National Champ in the 70s (125s I believe) and went pro he was 10th overall in the 125 National for 1978.
September 24th,1978
To no one's surprise Bob "Hurricane" Hannah wins the opening round of the 1978 Trans-AMA Series at Mid-Ohio aboard his works 425cc OW39 Yamaha, but the runner-up is a big surprise: Maico's semi-privateer Denny Swartz, an Ohio native. Hannah was a dominant force in '78, and likely a big part of the reason why the field of Europeans that used to follow the series had dwindled down to just two riders, Belgium's Roger DeCoster and Honda's Graham Noyce. Swartz led much of the second moto, urged on by his friends and fans, and he ended up with 7-2 moto scores that were good for second overall. Team Honda's Marty Smith was third with 5-4 scores while DeCoster ran 3-8 for fourth.Tod Perkins
