Here are a couple of photos of Marty Tripes. These were taken at the Italian 500cc MX GP in Cingoli in 1981. The color slide is old and faded but does a good job of capturing the atmosphere of European racing. The B&W photo of Showa Forks on Marty's Husky may indicate why Marty's stay in Europe was curtailed.

Paul Currie was also #46 and put in some great rides on an RM125 and beat TP199 at the RM cup that year.

Check for Mike Healey wearing # 46 in about '85 or '86 on a factory Suzuki.

I don't know if they ever raced with the numbers since it was right towards the end of their great careers but:
1981: Jammin' Jimmy Weinert
1982: Tony DiStefano
Those two riders put a lot of career National victories and Championships in the 46's category, to say the least.
