Gene Ritchie Passes

[Mick Milakovic]

Hi All,
Another icon of our sport, Gene Ritchie, owner of Red Bud Track 'N Trail in Buchanon, Michigan, passed away this February.  It shocked me when I picked up this months' Racer X.  He sold me my first bike when he owned 7-11 Cycle in Chesterton, Indiana, and I still own a 1978 Husky I bought from him at Red Bud.  God speed Gene.

Mick

Yes Gene was part of the foundation of what motocross has become.
