It’s been a long week in the editing lab for me. After getting home from the final round of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Ironman MX, I’ve been pretty
By Billy Rainford I made it back from Indiana Sunday afternoon. The 7-hour drive took me north from Indianapolis (which has been under construction for the last 10 years) and then skirted me south of Fort Wayne on the bypass and across to Toledo, Ohio, to the east. From there it’s a pretty simple drive north on the I-75 and through Detroit, Michigan, to Port Huron. I like to go
By Billy Rainford As soon as we left Walton Raceway last week it seems like the weather thought it was autumn in these parts! We’ve been struggling to get above 25C and it’s been raining so much it feels like April right now. I will say this, though, I had no interest in riding the Yamaha YZ250 2-stroke in 32C and humidity, so this change will make it perfect for
Frid’Eh Update #34 | Evan Stice | Brought to You by Dirt Care By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #34 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update brought to you by Dirt Care. It’s the first Friday after a couple very long weeks of being at Loretta Lynn’s in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, and then Walton Raceway in Walton, Ontario.

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2026 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans! I’m not sure where the summer went, but clearly, it had plans of showing up and showing out! Congratulations to everyone who qualified and is racing at Loretta Lynn’s this week. Qualifying for and racing at such a prestigious event is a mega accomplishment. They used to say that Loretta’s was a “family vacation,” but let’s
By Billy Rainford It feels great to be sitting in my own back yard drinking a cup of coffee this morning. That was a long two-week period of being at the races. Loretta Lynn’s is especially difficult because of the addition of insane humidity. A few people were complaining about it late in the week here at Walton Raceway. All I can say is you have no idea what humidity
By Billy Rainford I made it home from Loretta’ Lynn’s on Sunday afternoon. I will say that my head is still a little cloudy from that week-long event in 35-37C and humidity like you’ve rarely experienced. The first couple days were rough for me, as I don’t think I got the sleep I needed to put in a full day in that soupy weather. By Thursday, I was actually handling
By Billy Rainford I’m going to have to start this MMC off on what is about the saddest thing we ever experience in life – the death of a parent. I know it’s the natural order of things and almost all of us go through the process, but it doesn’t really make it any easier to deal with. The loss is huge and it hurts you to your core. My
Frid’Eh Update #31 | Ryder Malinoski | Brought to You by Dirt Care By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #31 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update brought to you by Dirt Care. I’m home from Motocross Deschambault and about ready to head out on the next MX Road Trip. I haven’t been to Loretta Lynn’s since 2018, I think. I did the drive from River Glade straight there and then to
Grab yourself another cup for this week’s Monday Morning Coffee opinion column about some of what happened in Motocross this weekend By Billy Rainford Well, I guess we just have one more round to go. but if the racing at MX Deschambault was any indication, we’re in for one more barn-burner! That 2nd 450 moto was one to remember. #151 Harri Kullas held off the charge of #9 Dylan Wright
