I'm not sure how many of you reading this remember Wonder Warthog Racing (2003-2009)? It was a series of programs created by Scott Kandel and me, whose sole purpose was to provide resources to struggling privateer racers in the Supercross and Motocross series. What began with WWR reimbursing the entry fee of any privateer making the night show at a SX race, eventually morphed into as many as 20 privateers racing out of our semi and 100 ft. free-standing tent. We distributed well over a million dollars cash to the guys who really needed it, before the economic crash of 2008 sucked the life out of everything in it's path.
The program may have failed, but the spirit of the hog still lives. It lives and is on display every weekend under the stewardship of former WWR volunteer, Ted Parks. His Privateer Journey pit set-up is as impressive as any factory effort and Ted truly took our original concept and improved it exponentially. Thank you, Ted!
The spirit of the hog is also alive in former WWR team manager, Darrel Saldana, who stepped up to the plate over the weekend and won the auction for the autographed Hangtown banner I had on eBay. His $2550 will be very helpful in offsetting the costs of producing my next Big Air Kid's Fair at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital. Thank you, Darrel!
