Gary Nixon - National Champion !

One of the best American motorcycle racers ever.  Nixon won on almost every type of track professionally, at the national level of competition.  Not always on the best equipment . . . and many times with smaller displacement engines. He also raced (and won) many times while injured.  Fellow competitors would think Nixon was out for a few races, due to a serious crash.  Gary would be at the next race, qualifying . . . if he had casts, stitches or bandages, it didn't necessarily indicate he was there just-to-watch !
