Jerry Robin - the 16-year-old on a 1985 CR 250 - was on NBC today when they aired their coverage of the racing at Loretta Lynn's. They even did a segment on him before the race and told the story behind him and his bike.

Riding 250B he got a 9th, 18th and a 15th and he was riding an antique out there. Pretty amazing.

9th, 18th and 15th gave him a 11th overall -- on a bomber bike.

So, either bikes have not made such great strides in the past couple of decades or...
He is the man when it comes to MX.

I am thinking its a little of both.

He won the 250 2 stroke class as well on the 07 CR.
Kid looked good.

I read his bike blew up in practice. Was he riding the 86 or a different bike?

They found a donor bike and stole the engine out of it so he ran 250B with that. He rode the '07 loaner bike in the two stroke class.

So he raced a pretty ****ty bike? Good jpb i'd say.

11th overall in 250B on the 85 CR. Salvaged 3 bikes worth of parts to get it on the track. Not bad, that's potentially 29 250Fs behind him.

A little birdie told me James Stewart himself tried to recruit him to Team Seven, and offered him brand new Suzukis. He turned it down, however, I really hope he takes the offer after Lorettas. You can't race an 85 CR at Anaheim 1.

They really jumped through their asses to get that 85 out on the track, and really only did it for the fans.

lauterbacher, he was not the only 250 2-stroke. I saw one on TV.

someone needs to put him on a 125 for 2-3 arenacross races to satisfy his "road to supercross", then put him on a 125 for daytona.

not saying he would set the world on fire, but the publicity would be absurd.
