We give. Name names.

I remember going to a few of the high desert races in the mid 80s and seeing Ivan lead from start to finish, but I can't remember his teamates. 


Here is another one. Back in the 80s the big aftermarket Toyota 4X4 supplier for So Cal (and maybe elsewhere) was Downey Offroad. They are still around but have certainly lost their marketshare. Name the founder.

This one is a little tougher (3 parts):

1. Name the founder of Fox Racing.

2. What post graduate degree does the founder hold and in what discipline?

3. What brand of vehicle was the first Fox shock mounted?
