Steve Stackable (born July 3, 1954) is an American former professional motocross racer and current hang glider instructor.
As the national championship reached the climactic final race of the season in New Orleans, Stackable was one of five competitors with a mathematical chance to win the title including; Suzuki’s Billy Grossi, Honda’s Pierre Karsmakers, Husqvarna’s Kent Howerton, and Yamaha’s Jimmy Weinert.
[7] In the first of two motos, he was in second place with only a few laps left in the race when his spokes started coming out of his motorcycle's front wheel.
[8] Despite finishing third in both the 250cc and 500cc Outdoor National classes, Suzuki released him at the end of the season because he didn't provide the desired results.
[1] Stackable along with DiStefano, Kent Howerton and Gary Semics, represented the United States at the 1977 Motocross des Nations and Trophy des Nations events where they scored impressive second-place finishes in France and Holland, at a time when American motocross racers were still seen as less experienced than their European rivals.
