Episode 271 Steve Wright: "Rise, Race, and Reset: It was over until it wasn’t"

Rev your engines for an adrenaline-fueled ride in this gripping episode, featuring the legendary Steve Wright. Hailing from the ATC hub of El Cajon/Spring Valley, California, Steve takes us through the heart-pounding world of Motorsports.

Buckle up as Steve shares his upbringing amidst ATC royalty like Marty Hart and Mike Coe, racing at the iconic Speedway 117, and the thrill of building the first hybrids with 3 B Lighting, Brock Glover, and Yamaha. It's a journey fueled by passion and resilience, where Steve, with no money and limited resources, found himself in Houston, knowing it was over until it wasn't.

Key words like ATC, Honda, Yamaha, and winning set the stage for an extraordinary tale. Imagine the sheer awe of signing a Honda deal and conquering the world on a factory 2-stroke 200CC ATC, racing across the globe from Alaska to Baja.

Living and training with Marty Hart, Steve elevated his skills, contributing to the unstoppable growth of the Honda legend alongside Mike Coe and Dean Sundahl, dominating every competition.

But in 1985, a false story hit the mainstream, abruptly ending the run and growth. Don't miss this riveting episode that takes you from the highs of victory to the unexpected lows, a story that proves it's not over until it's truly over.
