Jan 10, 2012 Winter Series Round 2January 10, 2012 (Alvord, Texas) - Online registration is open until Thursday, January 12th for Round 2 of the 12th Annual Honda of Houston/FMF AMA Texas Winter Series at Oakhill Raceway on January 14th-15th. With 566 entries at round one, many more points are on the table since the series awards points for each moto; not just per moto. Riders from around the country are descending to the Lone Star state as they warm up for the amateur spring national season. Riders from 18 different states came for round 1 at Freestone on New Years Eve weekend, so round two should be no exception. The forecast is for beautiful, sunny skies with cool mornings in the 30's and highs in the 50's. Practice may be held up to allow the temperatures to moderate some. Check for updates on the Freestone home page. If weather becomes an issue, also check at FreestoneMX.com for announcements. Today's Wallpaper |

Dec 22, 2011 12th Annual AMA Honda of Houston FMF Texas Winter Series Twelve years ago Tony Miller created the Texas Winter Series when no one was racing during the sometimes harsh winter Texas months. Five years after it all began, the Texas Winter Series became the largest amateur motocross series in the Lone Star state. Riders know when the series begins, mother nature can be brutal. No different from the summer months, the Texas Winter Series challenges riders to be their very best while having fun along the way. A couple of changes have occurred for the new year. If you enter more than one class, each additional class will be discounted $5 from the first class entry fee. * $35 Pre Entry $30/ea Additional * $40 Post Entry $35/ea Additional The new 50cc class opens the door for CRF and TTR beginner riders. New classes for 65s, 85s, Girls and Schoolboy will challenge riders even further. With overall awards for the series going back to 10th place, battles will rage at all four rounds. No matter what place a rider is in, they will most likely not be racing around by themselves. As the saying goes, the Texas Winter Series is the Roughest, Toughest, Largest, Richest, Funnest MX Series in Texas!!! Rd 1 Dec 31-Jan 1 Freestone County Raceway Rd 2 Jan 14-15 Oakhill Raceway Rd 3 Jan 28-29 Village Creek MX Park Rd 4 Feb 11-12 Freestone County Raceway Online sign up for first round is open.

Oct 12, 2011 Round 6 of the Main Event Series Round 6 of the Main Event Series visits legendary Rio Bravo in Houston on Sunday Oct. 16. Rio has hosted AMA pro nationals and Trans-AMA's back in the day and is the birthplace where the Americans first defeated the Euro's. New owner Danny Erdaljac has brought Rio back to its glory days with the help of track builder and local pro Vernon McKiddie. The Main Event Series has been averaging around 300 entries per round and Rio should be a big turnout too. Classes for riders of all ages and skill levels with $$$$$ for the pro's. Rio will be open for practice everyday this week including Sat. Oct. 15. Sign up online at http://www.scorekeepersink.com/Sign_Up_Main_Event.php. Click on the link below to view the current points standings of The Main Event Series...http://www.tracksideresults.com/scorekeepers/results/seriespoints.asp?s=32&c=all&r=pos The last round of the Main Event Series will be Oct.23 at one of the most favorite tracks in Texas, Cycle Ranch near San Antonio. The Cycle Ranch round was supposed to be last weekend but was rained out. We has a great day of practice on Saturday, but then too much rain on Sunday and now we have rescheduled for Sunday Oct. 23rd. The Cycle Ranch round will also serve as the last round of the District 20 Series, with the top 16 riders in each class from the District 20 Series representing South & East Texas at the State Final Oct. 29 & 30 at 3 Palms. North Texas riders and West Texas riders will also be on hand at the State Final to try and become the State Final Champion. Even if you are not in the top 16, we will be taking alternates at the State Final, but you do have to race in at least one of the District Series. The Cycle Ranch race on Oct. 23 is your last chance to get any district points. Good luck! Larry Hughes Main Event Promotions |

Oct 03, 2011 R.I.P. Huck Legendary Darwin Huckabee passed on yesterday while doing what he loved. What a great person. He will be missed. As best said by friend, Mike Hance: Huck... what a character.. Being a DFW guy until 1990 I only knew of Huck from coming down to the Houston SX late 70's early 80's and seeing him trying to qualify. He gave it 110%. After moving here I got to line up with him +40 and now +50 class. Always getting beat unless I found him tipped over in a turn somewhere. 5 years ago at the big Vet race at 3P's, I had just turned 50 and at times could at least keep Huck in sight. First moto he holeshot as usual and was pulling away when I see him crash in a turn as I went by I said "Huck what are you doing!"... I went on to win and Huck got up and still took 2nd. On the line the next moto I said Huck just take a little off and ride 80% you will still win easily... He looked at me and said "Hance I can't...." It was that moment I realized why he had been at the dome trying in the 70's, raced thru the 80's, dominated the +40, +50, why he crashed a bunch..... He was a Racer, and why I had never made it to that level. Most of us, myself included, are just riders... not racers. Racers give it 110% always! They don't back off if leading by 30 seconds or if they are in last place....They are racers! I'm honored I got to ride with a Racer! Huck went out a Racer and that demands your and my respect.. RIP Huck... Update Services for our friend Darwin Huckabee will be October 8, 2011 @10 am Cypress Bible Church 11711 Cypress North Houston Road Cypress, TX 77429-2817 (281) 469-6063 |

Sep 16, 2011 Main Event Series Round 4 Ultimate is racing round 4 of the Main Event Series this weekend. Big turnouts all week for practice, the track has been great and Glenn has cleared out some new sections for parking. General practice Saturday morning 9AM-11AM. Registration 2PM-4PM Practice 4PM Riders Meeting 5PM Race starts right after the riders meeting. Last weekend at Freestone sounds like a great event. Here's Larry Hughes take: The Main Event Series made a stop at Freestone Raceway Saturday Sep, 10 and was greeted by cooler temperatures and intense race action. Freestone runs a tight ship up the rode on I45 near Wortham Texas, with practice and race action running on time for the entire evening. The best news was there was no medical delays all night long! - JR Reyes put on a show and showed his Superman cape to the rest of the pack on the way to wins in the 51 7-8 class and the 51 Open class as well as a win in the 65 7-9 class. Reyes had his hands full in the 65 class with qualifier winner John Hileman right behind him the entire moto nursing a sick bike all the way to the checkered flag. -Drew Drennan and Devon Oxsheer got wins in the 85 age group main events with some quick riding, while Bobby Wills got the win in Supermini 1 over Oxsheer and Justin Walker got the win in Supermini 2. -Kendra Hughes got the win in the Womans class, while Gabby Morales finish 2nd and rode with a sore wrist after flat landing one of Freestone's table top's. -In the "C" class its the Neiheiser and Stockland show. Will Stockland won both Novice classes on his YZ.250 2 smoker, while Blake Neiheiser got the win in Schoolboy with Stockland on his YZ.125. "B" rider Brice Reed finished between these two in Schoolboy and finished 2nd in the 250 B class behind Cody Haverfield. I'm sure the Neiheiser/Stockland battles will continue in the B class next year and for years to come in the A class. -Speaking of the "A" class, Vann Martin must have scared off his competition because he was the only "A" rider there. He was gated with the "B" class and did not dissapoint the fans, and a few time he went triple-triple in the whoops after the finish line. Something that nobody attempted all night and I'm not sure how many riders have ever done that there! -Nick Bell got wins in the 450 B and Open Amateur classes and han his hands full in the Open Amateur with Cody Haverfield. Bell stayed strong even while listening to Haverfield over rev his bike when coming into a few of the tight turns. Those were some of the highlights, I was not able to watch all the classes, so if you saw some of the other classes, please reply. I want to again thank the staff at Freestone for a wonderful job they did hosting round 3 of the Main Event Series, they have a well oiled machine up there. Today Three Palms is having Moto Rodeo. Here's Trackman: Friday September 16th we have Moto Rodeo on the Royal Purple Main. It will be a 4 lap race for FUN and the winners get a goodie bag. The race is free to anyone that has paid to practice and must be wearing their wrist bands. The classes will be all 50's, all 60's, all 80's, all 250f's(125's), and all 450f's(250 two somke). So come out and have some FUNN with us and stay tuned cause we have more funn 'Under The Lights Friday Nights' just around the bend. Looking forward to all the weekend action. See you at the track. .................. |

May 26, 2011 Kevin Windam practices before Freestone National at Three Palms with the Locals Story and photo courtesy of Team Cramp. What a surprise when we learned that K-Dub would be doing some testing to get ready for Freestone at our beloved "Country Club" and joining the weekly W crew! To keep the crowd manageable for Kevin we were sworn to silence on deal I think after a few lucky folks that didn't know found out the cell phones went nuts and a few extras showed up but I believe everyone gave him his space and just enjoyed the show And what a show! Its hard for me to believe how fast and smooth he was in some sections. When watching him if you were new to MX you would think he isn't going very fast, so smooth, limited body movement, but if you know the sport, you watch him and listen to the bike and you are then amazed! He is 2 gears higher pinned through a section that seems like it is going by too fast for me. For me, the section right after the parking lot double on the River track was just unreal. He did the double far left then craved an arc pinned to the right of that little jump, landed 20 ft from the left, shut off a little hit the turn without shifting and explodes the turn, jumps the table flat landing lifts the front wheel and goes through the long little left never letting off! Unreal and I stood 3 feet off the track watching! WOW!And he did this for 30 mins like glass. Thanks, Mike Hance for story and Charlene Campbell for photo. #14 will be on the gate at Freestone this Saturday. |

May 25, 2011 Freestone National From Freestone: Here is the 5th anniversary of the Freestone National and things could not be better. Our sport is witnessing some of the greatest racing it has ever seen in its 40 year history. The riders are physically some of the best athletes in the entire world. When you come this weekend, stop anyone who has a staff, support or track crew shirt on and tell them 'Hi'. Tell them how your weekend experience is and most of all, give them a big "Thanks. Some of these MX fans will not even get to see the race itself. A staff of over 400 people will try and make your experience the best for you and your family at Freestone. Why? Because we all love this sport. If for whatever reason it's not the weekend you expected, please note it and let us know after the weekend how we can make it better. So from the Miller family, myself, the gate crew, the track crew, TORN staff, Vintage Legends and Heroes, the Miller Electrical Construction staff, sit back ...... enjoy!!! We will see you at Freestone. |

There will be classes offered for all skill levels and ages, from the beginner to the pro's.

Watching the race action on the River Track is fun because you can see the whole track with plenty of shade and a great view from several areas. One of the long standing traditions of The Memorial Day Classic is a special event on Saturday Night after a day of racing. This year is no different. There will be a 'Pit Bike' race on the 3 Palms Supercross Track under the lights! Classes will be offered for little guys and big guys with awards for every class, including the 'Dash for Cash' class! So if you have a pit bike, BRING IT! 50's, 70's, 90's, and 110's are defined as pit bikes. Maximum 12 inch rear tire. Something that is unique about a race event at 3 Palms is that while there is a race going on, the other tracks in the park are open for practice. If you need to test your bike between moto's or just want to get warmed up, a rider can jump on one of the other tracks on the facility. Enjoy the tradition at the Memorial Day Classic, and bring in the summer at one of the coolest MX parks in the country. For more information please visit our website, www.3palmsesp.com. |

May 03, 2011 Grudge Race 2011 From Grudge Race Producer and Self Made Champion, Todd 'TDog' Binns: Once again the annual Grudge Race has benefited The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation through the Ride for Kids. Over $14,300 was raised this year. That more than doubles last years high water mark of $7000. The Ride for Kids as a whole in Houston raised a whopping $335,000!!! This was #1 in the country! Houston rocks! Pete Sullivan mentioned that 16 kids got on stage after the Ride for Kids event on Sunday in front of thousands of people and said, Without these dollars, we wouldnt be getting help from anyone. Its truly amazing how generous the Houston motocross community continues to be with all the various fundraisers. Weve all felt the effects of tough times as of late. Yet, you all step up to help out with this great charity event. The Grudge Race started out with simple Internet banter. It has truly blossomed into an event that will make a big difference in childrens lives. I want to thank my dearly beloved and departed friend, unclescotty. (Scott Black) Hes the one who made this event what it is! The race day was exactly what we had hoped, Zany insanity sprinkled with love and compassion. Its an acquired pandemonium that the first timer struggles to understand. Thank you all for having FUN with this ever-evolving race. Some special thanks go out to: Allan and Houstonmotocross.com: Without you this event would never have taken place. Emil Shebelbon: Your generosity for providing us with a track and great facilities to accommodate this event is greatly appreciated. Pete Sullivan and Tracey Kirkpatrick: Thanks for carrying on the tradition and giving more hope to children affected. John McIntyre and Family: Your generosity is a catalyst for continuing this event. Thank you. Honda of Houston: (Nick Moomaw and Dave Martin) Thank you for your support with this event and the many others you play a role in. Vernon, Cheryl and April Patterson: You all have been key players and supporters throughout the beginning of this event. Thank you for your generosity. The entire Team Cramp crew: Thank you all for continuing the unclescotty flare that may have waned if you werent there. Your generosity is also appreciated. The Donors: To all that donated your hard earned money, THANK YOU!!! You folks make this a real fundraiser and it truly benefits kids that might not otherwise have a chance at a healthy and productive life. You are the BEST! Thanks again and see you all next year! TDog This weekend is the next round of the Annual Texas Night Series at legendary Rio Bravo MX. Click the banner at top for more details................... |
