Bruce Young - Unplugged
Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 9:32PM A few months back we ran into an old friend at the races in Boise ID. Mr. Bruce Young came out to the track to visit. Bruce goes way back, he was there in the very early days of motocross in the US. As the sales manager at Hi Point Bruce interfaced with a who's who of American motocross/off road stars. Cranke, Hannah, Magoo, Schultz, Ogilvie and hundreds of others all came to Hi Point for support. Bruce was always there to help, listen, advise …. whatever a rider needed.
What many don't know about Bruce is he not only helped support riders he was also there in the beginning helping the AMA organize motocross in N. California.
Many of the early rules for District 36 were hashed out around Bruce's kitchen table. The district's logo, still used today, was designed by Bruce.
He also spent many years involved with the Hangtown National MX as a member of the Dirt Diggers North MC. First at the old Plymouth track and later at Prairie City OHV Bruce was there to help.
Today Bruce handles a sales role for Western Power Sports/Fly Racing but only for a few more weeks. After many years Bruce is finally retiring the old Hi Point boots and taking his boat to the nearest lake for a long overdue fishing trip.
All of us here at MX43.com want to say Thanks Bruce for all of your help and friendship thru the years. You have been a true asset to our sport!
