Had the honor of racing against Rex a few times. We had a really good battle both moto's at Millville in 1990. I passed him with a couple laps to got and held him off to the finish. One of the highlights of my career. The guy was 14 years older then me and still was in great condition.

Awesome video and story! More amazing is 2,000 wins as few riders from the early 70's had long careers as the suspension beat them up early on back then.
