Of things motorsport.
James Stewart forges on, will it be his perfect season? So far no one has touched him. He hasn’t always got the hole shots, but he is always at the front of the pack when the requisite 30 minutes plus two laps is done. Motocross is more about those contesting for second place and has been for quite...

James Stewart continues to amaze.
James seems invincible, at least as far as his speed is concerned. Two races into the outdoor season and those 4 motos have seen only one winner, that fast guy on the green #7 Kawasaki. That isn’t to say the races haven’t been with out a few “holy crap” moments as Stewart recovered from bobbles that...

Stewart returns, competitors only see his rear fender.
The AMA outdoor motocross season got underway at Hangtown in Sacramento California. James Stewart made his return to dirt bike racing and picked up where he left off, demonstrating the fastest way to ride a bike around a track. That’s all I can really say about this race, since I forgot to set up my...

Dirty fun in the sun
Dirt bikes and spring days were made for each other. Today was one of those days. My son was up for the weekend and a friend had invited us to go ride at the track he has on his property. My son is always ready to ride but for the past few years I have had an issue with arthritis that had me...

Chad Reed seals the deal.
It all came down to the last round of Supercross in Las Vegas. Kevin Windham has been coming on strong the last part of the season and trailed Chad Reed by a mere ten points. Reed only had to finish sixth or better to secure the championship but in the world of dirt bike racing, there are no...

Fire and ice.
In motorsports, internal combustion engines provide the fire, but Sunday mother nature supplied the ice! As radio control car racers from around the Pacific Northwest gathered in Wenatchee Washington to contest the first round of the Northwest Championship Tour the weather was the topic most often...

Racing into the spring
Yours truly is off for a weekend of racing and this time I will be experiencing the thrills first hand. I’m sure I will crash and most likely have to fix something on the modified truck, but that’s the way it is in the radio control racing world. This is the first round of the Northwest Championship...

A Texas twister, Reed’s the mister
Texas stadium saw the perfect storm of a Supercross race. Forget a runaway lead, Reed had only around 4 seconds on the battle for second place as the checkers dropped. Reed’s speed and dominance were punctuated by the scramble taking place behind his rear wheel, this is Supercross’ real deal. Josh...

How do Canadians spell Supercross?
Super competitive, that’s how. The soil was semi-frozen and got wetter as the day wore on despite being inside the Rogers Centre in Toronto Canada. Ruts were the name of the game and it wasn’t long before the track had the look of an outdoor race. It took turns throwing every front runner to the...

Supercross Minneapolis style
Back in out of the weather the action was anything but soggy. In the Lites class the question of the day was, when will Ryan Villopoto step up and take a win? Trey Canard had taken 4 wins already as Villopoto finally revealed he had been recovering from a wrist injury and wasn’t yet fully up to...
