Dennis Cox has been writing and taking photos covering all forms of off-road racing for over 40 years, working for publications including Cycle News, Motocross Action, and Dirt Wheels during that span. In addition to writing and shooting, he’s competed in hundreds of races over the years, and his biggest win took place at the 1998 Baja 1000. For this month’s issue, he headed to Jefferson, Texas, to take a look at some vintage racing; check out out Riders’ Meeting on page 70.
Born and raised in Easton, Pennsylvania, Mike Emery has spent the better part of the last decade working as a freelance photographer, writer, and the photo editor of TransWorld Motocross magazine until late January. Any day that he’s not running around with his cameras, you’ll find Mike out surfing, skateboarding, and hanging with his wife, Isabel, and 8-month-old son, Theo. Meeting new people and telling their stories is his passion, and Mike recently paid a visit to the iconic Costa Mesa Speedway to get the story on this 50-year-old institution of speed. Read “A Night at the Speedway” starting on page 112.
The penultimate round of the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship goes off under a burst of fireworks at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. One week later in Las Vegas, three new champions would be crowned: Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb won his first 450SX crown, while Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis (250SX West) and GEICO Honda’s Chase Sexton (250SX East) notched their first professional titles.

With his Farm 14 motocross track on his property in Centreville, Mississippi, Kevin Windham is now a motocross promoter—in fact, he just hosted the South Central Regional for the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch. Windham knows a thing or two about riding a motorcycle and entertaining an audience, and he took some time between motos to suit up in his 2005 Team USA gear and show everyone how to skim a pond at speed. He made it just fine, then he parked his Honda CRF450R, got back on a tractor, and went to work on the racetrack.

eferees have to make some hard calls, and they have to make them in a hurry. Many sports have the luxury of timeouts and stoppages between plays; others have challenges and instant replays. Motocross and supercross races only stop for the checkered flag or the occasional red flag—and it was the possibility of a red flag that came into play early in the 2019 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.

I am restoring a 1980 Husqvarna 250 MX. I was told it was a Pro Circuit bike. Do you know of a way to trace a bike to a rider/team so I can add to this story? Could a frame/engine number be used?Chris Anthony // Facebook
Chris: We called Mitch Payton and asked if it was possible that it was a bike from his original shop, Anaheim Husqvarna, which opened in November 1978, several years before Pro Circuit. He said it was possible: “I built a real nice Husky 250 just before Hangtown in 1980, with Fox Shox and everything, though I didn’t have a rider. My friend Harry Klemm from DG Racing told me to just take it up there anyway and maybe someone would want to ride it. So I set it out beside my van at rider registration and had a couple of guys, including Magoo and Billy Grossi, come by and take a look at it. But then a privateer from Texas named Derek Wedding’s dad came over and asked about it. I said, ‘Does your son want to ride it?’ And he said, ‘No, I just want to buy it.’ And I said, ‘You’re my guy!’ But I have no idea what happened from there.” Maybe there are some clues in there for you, Chris—let us know!

’ve been on two wheels for as long as I can remember. There’s something about the balance, focus, and coordination it takes to ride a bicycle or motorcycle that transports me to another place, both physically and mentally. I started riding a Honda Kick ‘N Go scooter when I was two, and that was the start of my passion for all things two-wheeled. That turned into a Redline BMX bike the following year and a Yamaha YZinger when I was four. We started racing a year or so later, and my passion for riding has really never stopped. Sure, I got a little burned out after years of racing at the professional level and grinding out motos at Glen Helen on Thursdays in August. After motocross and supercross, I dabbled in off-road, NAHA hillclimbing, Supermoto, pit bike racing, and even the odd road-course track day, which I still really enjoy. There’s no question that I love two-wheeled toys the same way, to quote 50 cent, a fat kid loves cake.

his was about the last race anyone should be taking seriously. Off-season supercrosses are designed around a low-stress environment, as most American riders get paid simply for showing up. Purse money is rare, the races don’t count for points, and teams and sponsors don’t care about the results. Basic competitive instincts kick in when the gate drops, but an off-season event will never define a career.

Survival of the Fittest | By Jason Weigandt | PHOTOS BY Teri Anderson y first piece of advice when traveling to Hawaii? Don’t ask anyone what they think of Honolulu. It’s not important. The weekend after Monster Energy AMA Supercross wrapped, Hawaii’s capital and largest city hosted a supercross in its venerable Aloha Stadium. But while the race took place in the building, what really matters is what goes on beyond it. While walking up to the top floor to find the announcer’s booth for the race, I took a glance to the west and saw Pearl Harbor. To the east, I saw a mountain range and rainforest. I’ve been to plenty of supercross races, and maybe you have as well. This is the rare event where what lurks outside beckons even more than the race itself.
The racing was pretty good, though. In a Triple Crown format, Ryan Sipes scored the upset by winning all three races, further cementing the amazingness of his all-around schedule. (Before flying to Hawaii, he was practicing hard enduro with two-time EnduroCross Champion Cody Webb.) The competition was decent, too: Justin Brayton, Tyler Bowers, Jimmy Decotis, Mike Alessi, Alex Ray, and more. But what really made this trip worthwhile for everyone was Hawaii—and not just Honolulu.

ook around the pits and you’re bound to find a handful of former factory riders who are still going to the races in some capacity. If you’re unable to grab an autograph from a current racer, chances are you can grab a guy who at one time had lines of people waiting for him. Here are some of the former factory riders still giving back at the races or with the race teams.

Managing Up | By Steve Matthes he first two rounds of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship featured a ton of interesting stories and exciting action. Lots of unpredictability as well. Well, nothing was as unpredictable as me getting the call to manage the SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda team with Kris Keefer as my rider. I was once banned from the team truck, but time heals all wounds. Keefer, 42, wanted to try his luck against the best, and team manager Tony Alessi jumped on board with a full race bike. Justin Brayton thought I should be involved, and team owner Mike Genova pledged support (and cash).
How did it go? Well, Keefer didn’t make the motos at either round, unfortunately, but it was a good effort by everyone. I’ve seen Keefer ride quite a bit, and I have to say that he just didn’t look comfortable either weekend. But no excuses. The bike was great, but the difference between a local track and a national track with tons of fast dudes and completely different prep proved to be a bit nerve-wracking.
We tend to focus on all-time overall wins when it comes to Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross, but what about all-time moto wins in the premier 250/450 Class? We’ve been asked to do this a few times, so now it’s time to deliver the goods. Special thanks to @mxresearchdept for helping with the stats.

his issue’s tip has to do with line selection, specifically as it applies to corner setup. To really grasp it, you have to understand road racing theory, which is basically an attempt to straighten out the racetrack as much as possible. All things being equal, you want to enter the turn from the far outside, be near the far inside at the apex of the corner, and then drift back to the outside on the exit of the turn. By following this rule, you’ll open up the radius of the corner and be able to carry more speed through it. These rules are fast and loose, but any time you can apply this, you’ll find that your corner speed increases significantly.
In the opening photo, you can see that the step-up jump sends you right into the middle of the track. Most riders would continue down the center of the track, since that’s where the main line is likely to be.
Before I’ve even touched the ground here, I’m leaning to the right and looking to get to the far outside edge of the track. Obviously, you don’t want to choose a line that’s rougher or muddy or slower in general, so look for a good line as far outside as you can get.

In these images I’m accelerating down the straight on the far right side of the track. Try to find a marker next to the course so you know when to begin braking. Practice is a good time to see how long you can hold the throttle on into a turn—if you blow the corner there, it’s not a big deal.
You can see that I’m beginning to lean into the turn to direct myself back toward the inside. I’m applying the front brake carefully since I’m coming in at an angle; too much front brake will end badly when you aren’t going in a straight line. It’s also important to find the gear you want to be in. Don’t be timid with this move—if you’re in fourth and you want to be in second for the turn, stomp down on the shifter twice quickly. The engine brake will help you slow down in a smooth, consistent way.
The Woodstock of Vintage Motocross
he 17th Annual AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) International Vintage Motocross races were held at Diamond Don Rainey’s legendary Riverport raceway in the scenic woods of Jefferson, Texas, on April 11-14. Racers gathered for four solid days of fun, sun, and occasional downpours in the East Texas woodlands.
I think it’s safe to say that you won’t find any more “character” characters than Diamond Don Rainey at any event. Diamond Don got his name and reputation when he first raced motocross with the legendary H&H Music team in the early seventies. His name and reputation have stood the test of time.
This annual event has been referred to as the Woodstock of vintage motocross racing in America. It’s one of the largest—if not the largest—vintage motocross races in the land. Several national and world champion racers were on hand, including Brad Lackey, Trampas Parker, Terry Cunningham, and Guy Cooper.
Idaho’s Chance Hymas is one of Kawasaki Team Green’s up-and-coming amateur standouts. A regular at most amateur nationals, he’s established himself as a podium guy. While he’s still a full-time student and he lives in a place where snowfall is common through most of the winter, Hymas is driven to put himself on top of the box.

ast month we got your cables lubed up, and this time we’re going to work on the controls up on the handlebars.
First we took the throttle housing apart. Since this was a new bike, we went ahead and greased the throttle tube where the cables ride into the throttle tube itself, and where the throttle tube meets the housing. Then we greased the housing where the throttle tube sits inside—that way those two have friction upon themselves, so a little grease will help free things up and won’t allow it to wear.
Next was the throttle tube itself. We actually put a little bit of oil on the handlebar. You can use any kind of oil, but make it something thin—you don’t want thick grease under the throttle tube because it will dry out and attract a lot of dirt. Here we just used a 10W30 motor oil. Then we installed the throttle tube onto the bar and rolled it so all the oil worked all the way around the end of the handlebar and throttle tube.
Once you have the free play set, you can move up and set the free play in your throttle cable itself. If you like a lot of free play, run the adjustment in. If you don’t, pull that adjustment out. Then don’t forget to retighten the jam nut on the cable itself, otherwise it could move.
Then we moved over to the clutch side. We went ahead and took the lever off and greased it where the cable actually rides. We also greased the lever where it touches the clutch perch itself. If you don’t, the lever will rattle or be really hard to pull in, and that pumps up your arm a lot faster. We then greased the perch and reinstalled the lever into the perch itself with the cable.
here has always been a little confusion around Kevin Windham’s first professional race. Many remember it to be the 1994 High Point 125 National on Memorial Day weekend, when the 17-year-old Kawasaki Team Green rider famously led the entire first moto before being passed at the very end by defending AMA 125 National Champion Doug Henry. But the truth is that, 25 years ago, Windham actually made his professional debut a couple of months earlier at Gatorback Cycle Park in Gainesville, Florida.

On the eve of the 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, multi-time champion James Stewart released a video with Seven announcing his retirement. It came as no surprise to many—the athlete once considered “the fastest man on the planet” had not competed in nearly three years—but it was still disappointing news. Stewart smashed records and literally changed the game, as his scrubbing technique is now standard procedure with every rider out there. However, his last race, the 2016 Washougal 450 National, was rather unremarkable: James pulled off after six laps after riding around in 17th place in the second moto. And of the literally tens of thousands of photographs that Racer X’s Simon Cudby captured of Stewart over the years, this is the very last one, just moments before James headed for the track’s exit and into his self-imposed exile. We’ll miss seeing James out on the racetrack, but we hope to see him at the races again someday. That way we can thank him for being so much fun to watch and photograph when he was racing his motorcycle.
