Andy "Boom Boom" Bowyer put Stefan Everts’ famed #72 in the Shift MX Number Cruncher this week. Here is some of your feedback:
Matt Crown from Michigan. He’s wrenching on bike 199 now. I think it was in 1995-‘97?
Dave Korte
Don’t forget that the #72 was worn by the AMA National Dirt Track Champion in 1981: Mike Kidd!
Becky Vargas
Was #72 James Eickel? I can't remember!
Dick Boepple
(Ed. Note: James Eickel was actually #70 in 1998!)
How about Mike Roth? Wasn't he #72 at some point?
Robert Kolling
In regards to this week’s Number Cruncher, I really think that his dad Harry rode with 72 on his Puch, at time during the ’74 and ’75 season, before going to team Suzuki. I do not have the old MXA issues with me to refer to (I’m in the middle of moving, so my older back issues are boxed up right now, to go verify).

District 3’s own, Thomas Rice earned the #72 for the 1981 season. It was a huge deal to the locals that he got a National #. Maybe one of the best sand riders few people ever heard of.

And in our celebratory period of winning the Motocross of Nations, we received a phone call from another patriot by the name of Zach Osborne. He told us, "Hey, I noticed you guys had Everts all over the Number Cruncher. What about my number 72 when I won the world championship?”
