33rd Annual Big Dave Vet Homecoming Set to Take Place at High Point Raceway This Weekend

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – This weekend at High Point Raceway, Lojak’s Cycle Sales invite you to come out and join your racing family on this special weekend as we celebrate our motocross heritage and the memory of “Big Dave” Coombs (1941-1998). This event offers two days of unique racing and a wide selection of vet classes for all skill levels, as well as support classes for our younger racers.

Saturday features GP-style Moto-X Country Racing. The Moto-X Country racing is a hybrid event combining elements of off-road racing and motocross into one unique competition. Taking place over a roughly three-mile course, racers will encounter woods sections intermittently separated by big European-style grass track sections. There are classes for all ages and skill levels, and you don’t even have to be a “Vet” rider to participate! All classes will race (2) 30-minute motos on this hybrid course. Be sure to check out the Race Order before registering to see which classes run together.

Charlie Heard returns with his BBQ Dinner for $10 per ticket. The BBQ Dinner will take place on Saturday, September 30 at 6 PM. You can purchase your tickets at Rider Registration throughout the day Saturday.

The fun continues Saturday evening with STACYC racing for the kids and a Pit Bike race kicking off at 6:30 pm, along with a full evening of bench racing and karaoke with Racer X John with old buddies. Even if you’re not here to race, Saturday evening promises to be full of fun and serves as a great time to catch up with old friends.

Check out Jared Bolton's course preview below, via Weege Show style.

Sunday the focus will shift to the motocross track as the 33rd Annual "Big Dave" Vet Homecoming will take to the famous High Point Motocross track. Racers will be able to compete in numerous Vet-aged classes, Vintage classes and some Support classes for younger riders as well.

The afternoon will feature a Vintage Bike Show, numerous Vintage Contests with the opportunity to win some great prizes, and a Swap Meet. So, clean out your garage, shine up those vintage items and get ready to show-off your sh**… stuff at the Country Club of Motocross.

Come out and enjoy the Vintage Racing all weekend long.
