Check out TEAM HONDA AT DAWN
in our Latest issue of Racer X available now.Forty years ago, Team Honda arrived on the American motocross circuit with a brand new motorcycle: the game-changing Elsinore CR250. Page 170.
Look for the verified symbol 




Back when he was on Suzuki, it looked to be his best year on the 450 till " Stewart landed on him " breaking his wrist, Seems like he hasnt been the same since then. I hope he gets it going this year, Hes a good guy.
Music sucks. Why does RacerX try and turn these into music videos? Slowing the bike down is buz kill too.
the elsinore track looks like it sucks. so flat and boring,
I had no idea that Alvin and the Chipmunks had a hip hop album
Awesome guy and great for the sport but maybe a little past his prime. I would like to see the lites class reserved for the up and coming young riders, the kids that are trying there hearts out to prove themselves.
Weak vid....
He should change his name from hot sauce to cottage cheese.
another career ruined by James stewart!! now Ivan can't make podium in any class with the best equipement...

I agree... the guy was good back then and has since struggled. I think he shouldnt go to H&H but instead go to a team like JW racing or maybe even the Chap Honda team with Shorty.... Or even maybe JGR..... but i dunno if the Yamahammer would suit his style.
Ivan is a very cool guy. Very personable and down to earth. It says tons about him as a person because he has enjoyed a hell of a lot of success in his day. It is really a bummer that he has struggled so much with injury over the past several years because he has shown blazing speed at times.
As recently as last SX season and this years MX, he has been able to start at the front and run the leaders pace for several laps. It just seems that fitness wise he has faded. It is probably due to all the injury and inability to stay healthy, racing and training for any extended period of time.
I wish him the best this season cuz he is starting to get a little long in the tooth in moto years.
If you ever get a chance in the pits, talk to this guy. He is one of the good ones and will have a real conversation with you. Go Hot Sauce!
a great rider! now if he can stay uninjured until 2013...
