Hey anyone have a picture of the Larry Wilcox racing team in a couple of issues of Bmx Plus from the early 80's?

Did he or did he not make parts or frames? I don't remember but I think his team or company was called "Sunshine Bmx" or something like that...could I be wrong?

Wilcox racing, they made goofy uniforms and other crap like that. LOL!!!!

Encinas was sponsored by him in the late '70's. He had Larry Wilcox stickers on his bike and they used Bobby in any ad's they made.

sorry for the double post.

Where did I get Sunshine from..I don't know it's stuck in my head for something? He had this team for how long anyone know and I would luv a picture though if anyone has one.

Man, I remember when I was a little clueless kid just getting into BMX and sort of liking those Super BMX (worst mag ever) features with Ricky Schroeder and Shannon Doherty (sp?) and STILL thinking "man, that bandwagon-jumping Wilcox guy looks kind of cheesy"

I tried Googling "Wilcox" and "BMX" with no luck, but I did find this amusing Wilcox story:

I remember an A.B.A. race in Fremont, CA. Larry Wilcox was making his BMX debut, and the race announcer let everybody know he was getting ready to do a few practice laps. With all eyes on, he charges straight armed off the gate, pedals to the first "speed bump" (no ****, 8 inches high) and endos horribly, breaking his collarbone and shutting practice down for 45+ minutes. Guess it was a little too extreme. Never did like that guy anyways.
