- Between the Motos: Wayne LumgairFebruary 2, 2011There’s a new mechanic under the Pro Circuit tent but he’s not necessarily a new face. Thirty-six-year-old Wayne Lumgair has taken up the t-handles for Tyla Rattray and somehow, I believe this union has a chance to work out.
- Between the Motos: Ted ParksJanuary 26, 2011The smiles on the young kids’ faces, and watching them succeed. It’s like I explained to them: In football, you’ve got 40 champions on the sideline, and in motocross, you have one. In my opinion, if you make the night program, you’re considered a champion.
- Between the Motos: Nate SwartzendruberJanuary 19, 2011What about the unseen individuals that work tirelessly during the week to make sure the races go off without a hitch every Saturday night? Without these people, the stars of our sport wouldn’t have a track to race on, or pits to park in.

- Between the Motos... Eddie BabbittJanuary 6, 2011Without a doubt we’re all excited about the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series, but let’s not forget that there is another series starting January 8th – AMA Arenacross. While Arenacross may be a bit overshadowed by supercross right now, it remains one of the most exciting forms of dirt bike racing around. This is especially true for Eddie Babbitt, whose Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy, TiLube, Kawasaki, presented by Maxxis squad of Josh Demuth, Chad Johnson, and Tyler Bowers set a new record when they went on to take first, second, and third in the 2010 championship. With that said, who better than to check in on regarding the forthcoming Arenacross series than Eddie Babbitt? His team and Muskegon, Michigan dealership both have exciting things happening.
