Really enjoyed the article on Saddleback (“40 Years Gone,” December, 2024). Ironically enough the day I read the story I happened to watch an old horror movie from the early 1980s called Happy Birthday to Me and there is a scene at Saddleback Park with one of the characters racing in an MX race… Just like The Thing with Two Heads, an MX race always grabs my attention. You ended that story on the perfect note.

(Thanks Mike, we will look that one up online and add it to our collection of cringe moto moments in the movies. And anyone who hasn’t checked out The Thing with Two Heads on YouTube, do yourself a favor… DC))
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
