In this week’s Throwback we reach back a dozen years to see Matt Walker, on the No. 122 Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, running side by side with American Suzuki’s Davi Millsaps (No. 188) at the start of the first moto of the AMA 125cc Motocross National at Unadilla in July of 2005.
Coming up on the outside is Mike Alessi on the No. 800 Red Bull KTM Race and Brock Sellards on the No. 18 Boost Mobile Yamaha of Troy bike. Also visible is Josh Grant on the No. 35 Amsoil Chaparral Honda, Mike Brown on the No. 3 Jim Motorcycle Sales/Thor Honda and Kelly Smith on his No. 39 Boost Mobile/ Troy Racing Yamaha.
Broc Hepler, on a Suzuki factory machine, won the national that day over Millsaps and Ivan Tedesco.
