AMA Grand National Flat Track Champion Gary Scott

[@jiyushugi1085]

My hero. First time spectating at Ascot at 17, mind blown. Go into pits after the race and see Gary's custom-painted Trackmaster Triumph sparkling under the lights and dreamed of someday racing at Ascot. Couple years later, as a first year pro (Novice) on a Trackmaster Suzuki twin, won a few heat races and earned enough point to move to Junior. Built a Champion 750 Yamaha. Just a middle-of-the-pack guy at Ascot, but won regularly on the Corona half-mile. Rolled into the pits at Corona after one win and heard the announcer say that I'd broken Gary Scott's lap record. Wasn't sure whether to believe it or not, but I was riding well. Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey were also regulars at Corona at the time, fortunately for me, though, they were still riding 125s. So many great memories.

I grew up with the Scott Bros. Watched Gary race from we were just young kids. We had an awesome time growing up.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I was friends with his son and lived a few houses down the road. I remember walking through his garage and it was like an operating room.

Thank you for your flat track postings, I forgot how great that era was!

In a 50 lap tt race at Ascott one afternoon he ran 49 of them within 1/10 of a second. All with a smile on his face. Anyone who new knew him was aware that he loved to ride!
