Episode 229 Doug Gust: "Independent to a factory ride"

In 2003 Doug was talked into riding an LTZ 400. This was the best thing to happen to Doug, earning a factory ride with Suzuki that lasted until he retired in 2009.

Building a new machine that wasn't a pro-level and learning not to damage his race machine limited what the factory would do for the practice machine. Doug wanted more of a race quad. The reason for the slower stock machine was the hours Doug put into them and the cost of parts.

Spanning more than 20 years of career, Doug Gust showed the way and put all the other racers on alert. They knew it was never a give-me when Doug Gust showed up. All the hard work and hard times paid big dividends. Ending as a factory Suzuki topped off an amazing career!
