Monday Conversation II: Kyle Lewis

By: Steve Matthes

Thirty-eight-year-old Kyle Lewis has been a journeyman pro for a long time. He came onto the scene in 1987, winning San Diego SX in the 125cc West class. He went on in his career and has certainly seen enough in his life to write a book educating any youngsters on the ups and downs of being a professional motocrosser.

This past weekend at Glen Helen, Kyle raced the World Vet Championships and came home with the victory. His 2-2 moto scores narrowly edged out Craig Decker’s 1-3 (they used the Olympic style of scoring.) Amazingly enough, despite being eligible for eight years, this was the first time he showed up and raced with the geezers. We tracked him down after the race when he was relaxing with his family and wiener dog.
