Glad you guys enjoy the photo --- with thousands of old school TEXAS MOTOCROSS photos on hand....every photo has it's very own DISTINCT meaning. IMO - this is the photo that starts it all. Known as The Father of Texas Motocross & Mr. Holeshot, Wyman Priddy 27 yrs old, already had an AMA 500cc National win under his belt, was a little older, and was always chased and looked up to by the up-coming kids.... Kent Howerton 19 yrs old was fixing to race his 1st National, and 8 years later would sit on top of the Motocross world...beating up on Bob Hannah !

To me this pic paints the story of the beginning of Texas Motocross -- all the hot shoes that were coming up chased Wyman Priddy.
