Put on your moto thinking caps and step right up for the chance to flex your race knowledge and take home...well, nothing. I don't have a shop or business to donate prizes, after all. But you can still look smart in front of the whole board by coming up with the right answers to these queries:
1. RC has won the most 250cc National titles at six (could be seven by the fall.) But before RC, who had won the most 250cc outdoor titles and how many did he win?
2. In 1990, present-day off-roader Ty Davis won the 125cc West Supercross crown. A young Team Green rider finished second in the series. Name that rider, and for bonus points, what brand of gear he wore that year.
3. Everyone knows Brad Lackey was the first American world champ. But who was the second American world champ, and in what year and class did he do it?
4. Ricky Carmichael raced his first national at Steel City in 1996. What number was he running, and for bonus points, what were his moto scores?
5. Name the first rider to qualify for a 250cc main event on a four-stroke, and for bonus points, what brand he rode that night.
These might be too easy for some of you, but don't fret if you aren't challenged--I have more.

Sorry, jdal and oneraddad, those are also wrong.
The answers are getting slightly warmer, though.

So much for PMing the answers. I guess this way is more exciting anyway, but keep in mind you only get one guess from here on out, so make it a good one so someone else doesn't poach your correct answers and take the prize.
A hint: Some of you need to read the questions more carefully.

Is the missing answer #167 for RC

No, RC's customary amateur number was taken so he had to run a new three-digit.

Oneraddad finally got it. Here are the answers:
1. Gary Jones held the record for most 250cc national titles before RC at four.
2. It was Jeremy, and he was AXO-clad that year.
3. Danny LaPorte won the 250 World title in 1982 just two weeks after Lackey's historic feat.
4. RC sported the area code 768 at Steel City and went 16-6 on the day.
5. Lance Smail rode a jumbo KTM into the record books in the pre-Henry era.
Good job, oneraddad, and thanks to everyone who played along. There'll be more to come...
