Nice new feature on RX this week.
Figure each week will have a hand full of guys left off from each state.
Feel free to add honorable mentions:
Josh Steel
Mark Burkhart
Tommy Collier
Charlie Dunaway
Willy B
Josh Demuth
Jimmy Eickel
Can't wait to see who they pick for WV.
There's been a few guys squeak in some shows in the last decade but Childress and Davey are the only guys that come to mind that have been inside the top 15. I've only been around since the early 90's though.

Robert Naughton. He is a natural talent at just about everything. Top 80/125 Racer throughout the 80's. Then champion downhill mountain biker, bad ass on a jet-ski, bad ass on a snowboard, bad ass in the WORCS series for years, now a bad ass in the off road truck racing series.
Of the names above, which Blose? Chappy (Factory Kawasaki), Michael (SX lites podium finisher), or Chris(current top 5 contender)? Hard to choose....
Don't forget the Dircks brothers, Drey had more success (Trans-Cal champion and podium 125 SX)) but Gary was such a natural it was almost scary. He could sit on his ass for months and then come out and run with national caliber riders.
Bobby Moore lives in AZ now, can we claim him too....?
Chris (still racing and currently 13th in points in the SX class),
Michael (podiumed in Atlanta SX and numerous arenacross wins),
Chappy (125 National Amateur Champion in 1978 and former factory Kawi rider) and ,
Bob (front runner for a Husky factory spot in 1976 before he had a career ending injury).
All four are also native Arizonians. I know I'm prejudiced but I can't imagine a list of top AZ riders, of all time, without all 4 being on it. I'm sure lots and lots of AZ enthusiasts will agree with me on this one.
By-the-way...I voted on the Ohio group too.
