1997 Orlando 125cc Main (Ricky Carmichael's 2nd Career 125cc Win)

[@user-tv1le7sw2l]

Art Eckmann and David Bailey and Marty Reid were a good 3some. Did anyone notice Ricky rides with his shirt tail out? I wonder if J Anderson got that from the goat. I wish somebody would restore those great races to 2023 quality.

I admit Marty Reid had this energy that I just fed off of myself. I liked him as pit reporter and totally miss him to this day. I noticed RC had that shirt tail out for the longest time; I wouldn't doubt JA21 got that from RC.

The beginning of the end for a lot of title candidates. Always wished I started racing early to be a pro, but glad I didn't do it during the RC era. And no, I'm not Kevin Windham....

[@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames]

Not sure who you mean for those title candidates, but the only one I can think of is John Dowd because he injured his hand before St. Louis the very next week.

How many times ex-racing commentators are jealous of Carmichael and chirp him in his early pro days.. my goodness it's so obvious

[@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames]

Well, to be fair, those who said RC was destined for greatness weren't wrong.

This was the year I was born

[@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames]

And this was the very race where I became a huge fan. My first ever race watching on TV.

I think you mean Tim Ferry because he finished 2nd.
