By Billy Rainford That’s another Mini O’s at Gatorback Cycle Park in the books. If you’ve never been to this event, I’m not sure I can even describe it in words. 6000 entries over the course of 7 days in both Supercross and Motocross. It’s a living, breathing entity, this thing! They’ve added a couple days to it over the past few years and I have to say it’s been
By Billy Rainford As I sit here this Monday Morning, I’m starting to think about making yet another drive south down the I-75 to Gainesville, Florida, for the 2023 Mini O’s at Gatorback Cycle Park. When I was a kid, reading the words “Mini Olympics”, “Ponca City“, or “World Mini’s” always gave me goosebumps. Looking back, it was actually Ponca City that I remember having the most affect on my

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
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
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
