I am 27 years old and have often heard 'older' people talking about a phone number you could call back in the day to get race results. I have grown up in the world of the internet so I don't know what this means.

$2.00 for the first minute and then $0.99 for each minute after that!

I was searching for some things before school today and I found this advertisement in the back of American Motorcyclist.

This was the start of it all. When you couldn't watch the race or wait until Thursday for Cycle News, just dial the 11 digits. I can remember my Mom seeing the phone bill and thinking I was calling "Loveline" or some singles phone sex stuff. I just blamed my brother of course.

Remember this: "Howdy out there race fans, thanks for calling 1-900-INF-MOTO with your up to the minute race results"
Anyone know who that was?

Later Cycle News provided live written online updates and in a few years after that we went to the audio webcast of supercross. Now after all these years it's a great thing that we actually have live television coverage of Supercross!

Wasn't the guy that had that from Oklahoma or Texas? I think I met him in the press box at Texas Stadium one year.

He was actually from Arizona his name was Glenn he used to give us t shirts and stickers and under the guise of 1 900 info we pretended we were motocross reporters for him.

I got interviews from all the top riders from Roger DeCoster, Bob Hannah, McGrath, Emig everybody even the old school guys like Brad Lackey epic video interviews and they were all done on a 8mm camera.

At the time I worked for the airlines and would fly for free. I would hook up my cuz and he did the camera work while I worked the microphone it was so funny as these guys had no idea who I was but I would see them from week to week and they would give me all the info they could classic stuff that would have you rolling.

I need to get them digitized but that has not happened I have literally hours and hours of video tape from tracks all around the world with at least 50 riders including road racers Freddie Spencer Troy Corser etc.

So would it be a pre-recorded piece that you listened to for the week or would there be options for what you wanted to hear? Like press 1 for motocross, 2 for superbike, 3 for flat track?
