Injured rider wakens from coma.
The headline I have been waiting to write! Shiri Howell regained consciousness Sunday, September 5 th and is able to talk and walk. These reports came to me via my son Nathan who is a neighbor to the people Shiri’s brother Chris has been staying with. That much is encouraging and welcome news. Much...

Carmichael & Stewart continue domination.
While there are no leather and chains in motocross gear, the competition must be feeling thoroughly whipped by now. Delmont Pennsylvania, the Steel City Raceway was the site of the dynamic duos last outing. Ricky clinched the points championship in the AMA / Chevy Trucks National Motocross...

NaPalm racing rides again.
Nathan finally took the mighty YZ 250 out to the track. With brand new graphics and a slew of stickers to make it (in the words of my niece) “freaky fast”, h is report was encouraging, but on the matter of what bike to contest next year, he appears to be more undecided than ever. One of his choices...

Shiri at play. Shiri Howell rests in a private room. She has some movements and talks in her “sleep” according to reports I have heard. She is breathing on her own. Her family continues to be positive regarding her recovery. The local track is having a fundraiser at the Saturday Supercross, Aug. 28...

Washougal photos.
James Stewart applies body English as he negotiates a tricky jump after the top of the uphill section at Washougal Motocross Park. The while bale cover bears witness to an earlier lap where James caught his foot-peg on the cover, sending straw flying but Stewart, as always, was unflappable and...

Doug Henry rides again.
The man that started the 4-stroke craze returned to Washougal Washington in a bid to earn an AMA point and retain his “permanent” number, 19. Doug finished 21 st in moto 1 and was working on a little better finish in moto 2 when he fell in the S turn at the bottom of the ski jump hill, stalling his...

Upcoming photos.
This weekend I should get some time to post photos of NaPalm racing’s trip to the Washougal National. Ironically, I have two photos of Shiri Howell and I am still in a quandary over whether I should post them or not. She is in a private room now, but no new news I know of. The dilemma is whether to...

Millville, Minnesota - James and Ricky top their classes again.
By now, the only question for MX fans is, will Ricky have a perfect season? After watching the race at Washougal Washington on ESPN2 there can be little doubt that RC is a master of his craft. That much was apparent trackside, but Washougal, while a favorite of many riders, is a royal pain in the...

The waiting is the hardest part.
Shiri Howell still lays comatose. She has made several very small movements but so far no signs of real consciousness. Her parents remain upbeat and positive. Nathan only got to see here through the window of the room since the doctors were “inserting some kind of tube that goes from her arm" to...
