Anybody else enjoying 'The Motocross Files' on Speed TV, Tuesdays 9:30PM Central time? Each thirty minute episode is devoted to one of our motocross heroes... last week was Brad Lackey and this week was Marty Smith. Seeing all the cool vintage footage is a huge adrenaline rush... check it out!

That show ROCKS! It's been long overdue. I missed the Roger D episode, but caught Bob Hannah's and Brad Lackey's- both awesome. Is it just me, or is Bob Hannah just a little bit in love with himself?

Where is Kent Howerton's feature? Texas own and greatest! 3 time National Champion Multi Trans AMA Champion ABC superbikers Champion Runner up AMA Supercross ,took it and gave it back to Hannah many times ,lots a rubbin' there! Still VERY fast MX & Hare Scrambles. Tell em',Speedvision,to feature him ,he certianly deserves it. Low key ,unassuming & modest man, unlike the punk who is leading the SX series presently. Go "Rhinestone"!!!!!!!!

Kent Howerton is my friend and neighbor. He always kids around about how he never got the attention that the other riders got. His quote to me was "the squeeky wheel get the grease" If you think about it, that is so true. People think because he is quiet that he is stuck up and all that, but I am here to say that he is the nicest person I know. He taught me so much when I was riding with him down south at his property. He doesnt reach out to me or anything like that but when I call him anytime and ask him a question he gives me all the time I need to talk with him. He is a very busy man but always finds time for me. I can tell you that when he was racing he was very focused and didnt talk very much. The stress must have been horrible to deal with.

Well Kent is in The masonry buisiness. His buisiness grosses about 1 mill a month and there doing awesome. Jill was out the door right after Kent quit racing. He married a awesome girl named Lisa. She is the sweetest person you could ever meet. kent has 2 boys one is 18 and the other 15. Shawn and then Derrick. Shawn is not into mx but he is sooo smart. He is a musician and plays in a band. Him and Heath Voss play all the time. Derrick rides alot, he rides out at Cycle Ranch almost every Saturday. He is superfast. He doesnt race alot. Kent wants him to get a little bigger and stronger. I can tell you that lap for lap he can keep up with anyone. he looks good doing it too. He scrubs like no other. Jill thought she would go off to greener pastures and but from what I hear she weighs about as much as a crf 450 trailer included. I never met her but I know Kent is very proud of the way things have turned out for him.
