Watching Jeff walker absolutely shred Supercoop the last couple weekends got me thinking about the fastest person I ever saw ride at a local track. For us hands down it was Aaron plessinger at Youngstown mx back in his arenacross days. Seen him there a couple times. So fast people would pull off the track and just watch. So cool to see what he has accomplished since then. Interesting to hear who you guys have watched ride over the years that made you just want to quit and take up golf?
 
Thats tough. Ive been on a practice track with James Stewart. He was on a 100 and i was on a 250f. He blew around the outside of me like i was in 1st gear, except i was on it in 4th. Ridden with sellards, katin, reynard, casey johnson, shae bentley, farr, brown, weinen, all on local tracks. Most every one of them made me realize i wasnt s**t at a young age lol.. Some of those guys were very encouraging through the years tho. Some were a little demoralizing, like stewart.
 
Sellards was done before we started but I’ve heard enough stories that I wish we got to see him come up. Was cool to watch Luke fauser from 50’s at malvern to watching him on tv. I bet sellards was fun to watch
 
Sellards lapped me at a 6-lap fair race... I also remember Chris Carr hauling at battlesburg and Jon16 right behind him. Crazy fast
 
Sellards and yanitelli.

fauser was blistering fast on a 50 at Tvland. Was pretty cool seeing him grow up.

He might have not been the fastest ever, but I remember when Shane Watts would come to Smith Road, he was on it. Rode with Shae Bentley on a Tuesday at Apple Cabin, he was flying. Practicing with Mickey Marshall at Tolliver's track always blew my mind as well. Makes you really realize what speed on a dirtbike is!
 
I’ve raced with majority of the 250 guys but the probably most memorable is when Nate trasher won the regional at Ironman during Covid and damn near lapped the whole field he was on another level.
