Raceway News Interview with Mickey Kessler – 1986

Going through the pages of the March 1986 issue of Raceway News, we came across this Mickey Kessler interview.

The original scans made it a little tough to follow since they weren’t full pages but we’ve done our best to capture screenshots along the way and piece it together for you below.

One thing you need to remember, back in the 70’s and 80’s Mickey Kessler was one of the top riders in the sport – just a glance at his national results will prove that. Mickey Kessler National Results

Back in the early days, riders worked on their own bike, drove themselves to the races and generally didn’t have the luxuries of today’s professional motocross tour. But guys like Mickey are the reason the sport is where it is today.

Enjoy this Raceway News interview with Mickey Kessler.
