By Billy Rainford I had two of the coolest days I’ve had in a long time this past weekend. The Vet and Vintage event at Gopher Dunes was one for the ages, as Frank Schuster, Lawrence Hacking, and Glen Nicholson all put their heads together and gathered some huge names from our sport’s past. If you’re too young to remember the names that were there, it’s no problem because I’ve
By Billy Rainford Welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee. Hey, when does daylight savings time end anyway? I have to admit that I took a little bit of time away from moto this past week. It’s been a long season with a ton of great racing and things I was able to attend and report on. It’s rare that I take more than a day away, but I literally did

By Billy Rainford OK, I have to admit it, I completely wimped out this passed weekend. I went into it planning to head to Gopher Dunes Friday for Supercross practice, head back again on Saturday for the races, go home for a few hours, and then head to catch the final day of the Corduroy Enduro up in Gooderham, ON. Gooderham is up northeast of Toronto, north of Peterborough, east
By Billy Rainford Next time I say I’m going to drive 12 hours to a race and then turn around and come straight home afterward, punch me in the face, please. I hopped into the DMX Van again this past weekend and drove all the way to Z Max Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte for round 1 of the inaugural Supermotocross Playoffs. I told myself it wasn’t

It’s a long weekend away from racing for me this week. My sister and mom will be in town from Kamloops, BC all weekend, so I will spend my time soing things with my mom while my
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2023 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans, A significant playwright, essayist, and screenwriter of the 20th Century, Arthur Miller once said, “The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.” He was correct! As we know, my column last month was quite turbulent and most likely one of the most vulnerable pieces I’ve
By Billy Rainford That was a busy weekend! I had always planned on heading to the final AMA Pro Motocross Championship round at Ironman MX in Crawfordsville, IN, but when I heard that we’d have our 3 riders from Team Canada MXON racing, there was no question I was going to make the 7-hour drive from London. Unfortunately, we got word that our 250 rider and 2-time defending Canadian Triple
A little late this week with the Monday Morning Coffee. We finally pulled the trigger on getting a new dog this morning. After having to put our black lab “Sadie” down last year and then having our little morkie “Maggie” die a few months ago, we weren’t sure what we were going to do, but then this 4-month-old Aussie Doodle came up for adoption and we just couldn’t resist. “Olive”
