MX Sports Pro Racing Congratulates 2010 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Inductees‏

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(November 24, 2010) - When the 2010 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Inductees
were enshrined on Friday evening in Las Vegas, four people who have
made great contributions to the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross
Championship over the years were among the honorees. Pro Circuit
founder Mitch Payton, JT Racing founders John and Rita Gregory, and
Eyvind Boyesen, the man behind Boyesen Engineering, were all honored in
the ceremony at the Red Rocks Resort for their work in and around
American Motocross.

MX Sports Pro Racing, organizers
of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, as well as our
partners at Alli, the Alliance of Action Sports, and the 12 race
promoters that make up the National Promoters Group (NPG), wish to
congratulate Payton, the Gregorys, and the entire Boyesen family on
their respective honors.

Mitch Payton's success in the
motorcycle industry is a testament not only to his work ethic and
perseverance, but also that of his family, his staff at Pro Circuit,
and all of the racers and mechanics and team sponsors that have
participated in his program over the years. Payton was an aspiring
racer himself until a desert-racing accident left him in a wheelchair
at 17 years of age. He then went into the aftermarket business, taking
a small bike shop in Anaheim, Calif., and building it into the global
motocross power that is Pro Circuit, now based in Corona, Calif. Along
the way he has won numerous races and titles with lineups that have
included the likes of Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto,
Mickael Pichon, Grant Langston, Ivan Tedesco, Mike Brown and more.

John and Rita Gregory founded JT
Racing together as motocross in Southern California was just taking off
some 40 years ago. Together they built a riding-gear empire, leading
the way in motocross fashion for nearly two decades. Along the way they
worked with a long line of AMA Motocross Champions and future Hall of
Famers, including Marty Smith, Bob Hannah, Broc Glover, Danny LaPorte,
Chuck Sun, Donnie Hansen, David Bailey, Rick Johnson, Ron Lechien and
more. In fact, many of those riders were in attendance at the ceremony,
including Glover, who came out dressed in the exact same JT Racing gear
he wore in the mid-eighties to introduce John and Rita into the Hall of
Fame.

Eyvind Boyesen has long been one
of the most respected men in motocross. A former racer from Norway, he
emigrated to America in the 1960s to work on rocket engines for NASA,
then started his own namesake company, Boyesen Engineering, in 1972.
Based in Lenhartsville, Pa., Boyesen's innovations include reed valves,
carburetion, two-stroke and four-stroke engines, water pumps, and more.
Boyesen held more than 40 patents in the motorcycle aftermarket
industry. He continued to be an active racer himself until this past
year, as well as a sponsor of countless motorcycle racers. Sadly,
Eyvind Boyesen passed away on the eve of his induction into the
Motorcycle Hall of Fame after a long battle with leukemia. He was 68
years old.

MX Sports Pro Racing, Alli Sports,
and the NPG all wish to congratulate Mitch Payton, John and Rita
Gregory, and everyone in the Boyesen family on the prestigious honor of
being inducted into the Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame. Congratulations
also go out to dirt-track racer Don Castro, sidecar road-racing
champion Larry Coleman, off-road rights activist Clark Collins, AMA
250cc Roadrace Champion David Emde, and desert racing legend and team
manager Bruce Ogilvie were also part of the Class of 2010 for the
Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
