Three Rounds Under Our Belts!
January 24, 2011 ~ Merced, CA: The Legends
& Heroes of Motocross Tour is underway with three rounds of the
Monster Energy Supercross Series under its’ belt. Many thanks to all
of our supporters, especially the folks at JT RACING USA for stepping up to help sponsor the tour and our friends at Motion Pro, SLS Audio, ProGold Lubracants, Parts Unlimited and Tom White of the early days of Motocross museum for
their support!. The tour includes a cool array of vintage racing
machines on display and a moto-history time line at every Supercross
event attended. Additionally, we honor a different Legend with a
special “Legend & Heroes” award, recognizing their accomplishments
and role in our great sport.
Round 1, The Anaheim 1 induction of 1982 FIM
250 World Champion Danny LaPorte took place in front of So-Cal fans at
the season opener on January 8th. Danny joined us for an interview at
the L&H-Monster Energy Pits stage during the day along with
National Champ Donnie “Hole-Shot” Hansen and legendary commentator,
John Wolvern. That evening we presented Danny with his Legends &
Heroes award with help from the Professor “Gary Bailey” and Tom White
of the Early Day of Motocross Museum.
Round 2,Phoenix and
the second stop of the Tour saw 3 Time National Champion, Marty Smith,
graciously accepted his award during a busy night for him as he was
also managing his SX team though out the day. The Professor, Gary
Bailey, along with Lynn Shoup of Rage Racing presented the Champ with a
stellar Legends & Heroes award (design by Lynn Shoup) in front of
1000’s that evening on the Monster Podium.
