Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | October 2023

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | October 2023 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans, Someone that I used to know once told me, “You can’t build a house without a few splinters.”  And here I thought, as long as we focused on constructing a solid foundation we’d be all right! Well played, universe, well played…  Patch work and minor adjustments can be beneficial, but sometimes you need a demolition!  Get

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford The recent passing of Wally Levy got me thinking about some of what’s really important in life. Although Wally left way too early, he had a very positive impact on everyone who knew him or even just met him once. And it’s definitely not just because he’s gone that people are saying nice things about him; he was genuinely a good dude. What a nice legacy to

Here in London, we’ve been experiencing some near record-breaking warm weather the past week. Early on, there was a bit of rain that

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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
