“BIG RED” The Ron Wood ROTAX
In 2016 AMA Grand National #23, Jeffrey Carver showed up to the Eddie Mulder West Coast Dirt Track Series race at Willow Springs with Ron and a Wood-Rotax mono shock bike that Ron built. Carver won, beating a field of top Grand National Riders. Ron and Jeffrey will team up again at the Digger Helm Memorial race with Carver twisting the throttle in hopes of repeating another victory. At the end of our interview Ron said “winning includes 3 components, a good rider, a good bike and luck”. Today at 90, Ron is still building bikes in his shop, playing golf every now and then for fun.
