i never rode the 125 or 175... but 3b lightning did alot of fabrication and kits for them....the stuff they did was pretty much use the plastics only.... they made some real fast 3wlers... and they had guys like marty hart and steve wright riding for them.... (before honda picked them up)....

Really? Thats cool that you racers "jumped" around different brands. Do you get anyone that comes to your shop and ask for an autograph? Ever thing about getting back into racing? I hear a few of you guys are racing again.

*3WW Star*-driscoll333 · 06-09-2009, 06:58 PM

tacate,,, once honda signed a rider they seemed to do what it took to keep them... there wasnt alot of jumping around... it was the same with yamaha and kawasaki too.... in 6 years of racing i started with mugen then husquvarna, then yamaha...and hart was 3b then honda... and i believe that was it.... i think there was more loyalty back then... and yes i have signed a few autographs in my shop... but its not that often...i will sign anything they put in front of me....haha ,,titts too!! I still race strictly to stay in shape and fun... MX ... i know sundahl still races quads... i see him every so often..

that is really cool video... i never raced in florida..so that #333 wasn't me... besides do u really think I would be in the back of the pack??? haha... dont answer that!!!.... i think steve wright was running 3rd on #22... that 200 class looked really fast... it still blows me away at how fast we ran those machines... yes i always ran #33 or #333... on the west coast everyone respected the top guys #s... even the new up and comers seamed to respect that un-writen rule....i still try to run #33 on my MX,... but most promoters assign #s... and they usaully have a letter to determin class...

SAAWEET. Would you sign mens boobs?

Did you sign a few in your hay day? What is the story behind 33?

43 was definitely Curtis Sparks.

**Billy Golightly** · 06-13-2009, 12:46 AM

22 Steve Wright, right?

**Tecate250** · 06-13-2009, 11:14 AM

Sweet. That is some juicy info there Brett. I had a feeling there was a good story behind that.

So what about this ghost? Anyone you knew? I take it you believe in paranormal activity.

*3WW Star*-driscoll333 · 06-14-2009, 12:05 AM

i never believed in ghosts... and to this day Ive never seen one.... but Ive been woke up by one !!! and Ive been spooked by one , more than once....It all staarted when i was about 16... we moved to an old dairy and farm ground... this property has been in our family for about 100 years... it all started one night when i was sleeping... the door started shaking and the stairs made sounds of boots walking up and down them... this happened about every 3-4 nights ... just kinda got use to it... i kept telling my parents there was something there,,, but they just laughed at me... one day our maid came in the house, and she said she say a spirit that was dressed in cowboy attire...and then just vanished..... the maid never wanted to come back.... we call him "bryant".. the only real cowboy we knew... he was a ranch hand that past away.... i guess he is still taking care of the place... 3:30 am... u guys watch out !!!!!!! haha

**Tecate250** · 06-14-2009, 03:38 PM
