Gary "Iron Man" Pustalek was always up for a good joke.
The guy had the amazing ability to go from straight face to a gag...and since this was years before Chris Farley made it big, I think the similarities between the pair make it clear Pustalek was the precursor to the stand-up Hollywood funny guy.
Motocross cut a broad swath in those days. It wasn't just about a dozen factory stars. The sport was seasoned with great racers like Iron Man and many others who were riding on support deals, taking a shot at greatness from the fringe.
But make no mistake that despite not having comparable equipment, or support, or factory big dollars...guys like Gary were as big in personality and humor as anyone else on the gate.
