Racer X Online Releases The Vault, an Online AMA Motocross Results Database

 
Morgantown, WV
- Who won the 1974 Hangtown Classic? Who got 15th at the 1980 Washougal
500 National? What happened to Bob Hannah in 1978? How many races did
Ricky Carmichael actually lose?     

Racer X Illustrated is proud to offer a glimpse at the beta release of our new Racer X Vault (http://vault.racerxonline.com/),
which is an exhaustive archive that will feature records, results and
final standings going back as far as recorded history allows. With the
help of moto historians Larry Lawrence and MX Sports Pro Racing's Nick
McCabe, Racer X has compiled all of the top-twenty finishers in
every AMA Motocross National since the series began back on April 16,
1972, right outside of Atlanta, Georgia, up through the final motos of
the 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
  
"Bench racers
and students of the sport can use this search engine to find out about
the history of AMA Motocross, going back to the days of Gary Jones,
Barry Higgins, Gunnar Lindstrom, Brad Lackey and more," said Davey
Coombs, the founder of Racer X Illustrated and Racer X Online.
"It's still a work-in-progress, and we are soon to add the complete
results from Monster Energy Supercross, which also goes back to the
early seventies, plus Team USA's history at the Motocross and Trophee
des Nations, as well as results and standings from nearly-forgotten
series like the Trans-AMA and Inter-Am tours."
   
The Racer X Vault
archive not only includes top-twenty results and point standings from
the 125, 250 and 500 Nationals, but it also includes a brief history of
each season.
  
"Again, it's a work in progress, and we still have
some kinks to sort out," added Coombs. "But soon you will see galleries
of all of the past champions, a video gallery of highlights of races run
long ago, and even a program cover collection. It should be a lot of
fun for folks who like to look back at the history of our sport."
