August 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Vintage
There was no such thing as a “whip” back in the day, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any cool big air photos. Here’s a very cool CZ shot from sometime in the early ’70s. Photo found at CZ Motokros.

May 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Profiles in Riding, Vintage
Received word today that Richie Vallandingham of Missouri passed away yesterday due to heart failure. Richie was out riding at a local track with his son. I met Richie face-to-face on several occasions and chatted with him frequently via vintage racing message boards. He was one of those rare people that you just know right [...]

Two great interviews at the new McCookRacing.com
January 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Profiles in Riding, Vintage
The latest issue of McCookRacing.com is out, with two really good interviews. Headlining the issue is an interview with former AHRMA PR Director Alice Sexton.

Part 3 of History of World Motocross Championship sucks
January 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Racing, Vintage
This is pathetic. This History of World Motocross Championship series is a miserable excuse for a history of anything. I don’t know who runs MotoCrossMX1.com, but they should be ashamed to put anything like this up on the site. It’s an embarrassment.

History of the World Motocross Championship
December 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Racing, Vintage
Motocross MX1 is publishing a short series of articles on the History of World Motocross Championship. Part 1 of the series is up now. Parts 2-4 will be published in the next few weeks. If they are as poor as Part 1 there isn’t much point in reading them. Not much history here — there [...]

Let’s hear it for Steve “Souper” Clark and the Sportsman-class 125 project code-named Lester!
