1993 - Ricky arrives at race track. Sets fast time in qualifying. Wins heat race, wins Camel Challenge, wins 883 National, wins Grand National. Signs autographs, loads up and repeats the same results at the next race. Legend.

"Rocket" Ricky Graham! Took a friend to his first dirt track race to the Indy mile and we went into the infield so we could go down to the fence between turns 3 and 4, he was totally blown away! Graham won that race and we went down to the podium after the race and he got to get close to Graham and some other riders, he couldn't believe how small they were in comparison to what they could do on those bikes! I loved watching Graham ride along with Parker, Springsteen, Boody, Shobert, they could really put on a show!!

I remember riding at the motocross track at Laguna Seca in 1993, and I was just playing around on my Yamaha 490. One slow corner was about a foot deep of dusty dirt and apparently Ricky was trying to pass me and I punched it and made him wipe out with all the dirt in his face. Later he cam up to me and gave me his goggles. At the time, I had no idea who he was, and was baffled. I didn't have a good pair of goggles so I just used them! I should have saved them!!

Super humble nice guy, I ran into him twice at holster hills, we were both flat tracking pumped up XR100s, and he was amazing. Helped me with advice as if I hired him to coach me. It really brought me down, when only a couple years later he passed. RIP a true legend.

The thing about this short clip it doesn't talk about Doug Fay who got the motorcycles together for him on his most winning year and did most of the mechanicing that got him the extra horsepower that he needed and set a little short track so he could practice on days off the circuit Doug fay tuned his bikes and tune Ricky Graham to be a champion

Ricky Graham to myself is the greatest flat Track Motorcycle racer ever along with Kenny ( The King )Robert's. Ricky may have got some more horsepower but he wasn't out motoring anyone, Ricky was just plain and simple out riding everyone. I raced against Kenny Roberts in the 250cc class and his Yamaha wasn't as stout as the Bultaco Astro 250ccs but it was Kenny's riding that made up for it. Roberts XS 650 Yamaha was a sled and he still gave the XR750 Harley's pure Hell. Ricky Graham could make a Motorcycle do whatever he wanted it to do, Ricky was that good of a rider. These Aft riders today wouldn't hold a cangle for Ricky Graham to run by as they're not as talented. Ricky would crush them. RIP Champ!

Met Ricky at lima, he was getting ready to leave and I was early for the amateur race that day. Hardly no one there yet so we got to talk for a few minutes. Really good guy. Was my daughter's favorite rider back then. Sad he is gone.

Grahm embarrassed H.D. on a factory Honda after they proved their point to the motor company Honda pulled out Grahm came back as a privateer and kicked Harley's ass again even with extra weight and restrictors in the intakes. One heck of a rider.

I was at the Supercross in the Seattle Kingdome the day Ricky passed. Dave Despain came out and read a brief newsflash that Ricky had just died in house fire. My gf, and several people within earshot, asked "Who is Ricky Graham?". I explained that he was a flat track racer that did well for Honda in the early 90's. I think McGrath won that night on his Honda. I've met most of the guys mentioned in this - Goss, Springsteen, Boody, Morehead.... I miss Michigan dirt track. Flint, Northville Downs, Detroit State Fairgrounds, Fun stuff! Keener, Beauchamp and Roberts.... and Earl Hayden! So many more.

Ricky's record 1993 year was McGrath's 250cc rookie year... They both set massive win records in 1993.... They are tied together in that sense.
